moved to comment upon some of
the statemcnts made by the writer
and present a few "prom". It is true
that Grapeview participatcd 100
per cent in 1961 with Shclton in
their building program, but at that
time North Masou had no high
school and since all of the Grape-
view st:udents in that age group
attended Shclton, they really had
no other fair choice. In the past
three years, enough of the Grape-
view students have attended North
Mason to give us the right and
obligation to ask for a percentage
of participation funds from this
district. This is what the County
Board determined, fairly, and ac-
cording to the formula set ns by
the State Department of Educa-
tion. And who is to say with anv
authority how many Grapeview
students will be attending North
Mason over the next five to ten
, years.
Now, it is rather academic at
point to argue the merits of
i North Mason having a high school.
We ha.ve an accredited high school
and as far as we are concerned,
it is here to stay.
HOWEVER, THIS leads to an-
other point mentioned by someone
at the June 30 meeting. The state-
ment was made that we have an
accredited high school, so why do
we need to build a high school.
While the high school curriculum
was accredited, the classroom
buikling presently housing the
high school students was not nec-
essarily aceredited, although at
the time it was deemed adequate
to house the high school pro-
gram offered. In other words, we

~tJh~idiary ,of P,N. Hirsch & Co,
3rd & Railroad
~hop Miller's of Shclton First"
are not proposing to build a high
school ,~e are proposing to build
a high school classroom buihling.
It is true that constt~ction of this
building will give us more eie-
mentaLv sl)ace at the same time,
and this was freely admitted at
the mccting.
The fact renlains, however,
that all of the classroom build-
ings presently in use in the dis-
trier are essentially elementary
construction and since we do need
more Classroom space, it seems
to make more sense to build a
classroom building specifically de-
signed for a high school curri-
culnnl rather than more elenlirll-
tary classrooms. However, the
main poiut in our argument that
we do need a high school class-
room facility seems to be more
than justified by the fact that the
State Education Deportment has
deemed it enough of a necessity to
be wdling to allocate state match-
ing funds for this construction.
The fact that vee need to ask
for state matching funds and par-
ticipation funds in this project
does not mean that we should n~t
l~ave a high school. "We are eligible
for about 20 per cent in matching
funds, whereas other high school
districts in the state, three aod
foul" times the size of North Ma-
son, are getting up to 90 per cent
in matching funds. Aside from the
fact that we do not need any more
elementary construction in this
district, we admit that the aid in
construction funds for a high
school building was also a factor
in our decision to build this type
of building. The voters in the
North Mason District passed a
bond issue of $197,000 toward this
construction, partly because they
recognized the need for this type
of building, and partly because by
so doing, we would become eligi-
ble for state matching funds al~d
participation funds. Now, let's set
the record straight about the state-
ment that Ray Kronquist is a
North Mason school director. This
is not so. Ray is not a director
and never has been, although at
one time he was a director of the
Grapeview school board. Finally,
we would like to say that al-
though we can't go along with
some of their arguments against
participatiou, there is one point
that no one mentioned out loud--
the one about having to dig down
and pay out tax money--that even
this writer wouldn't want to ar.,
gxm. There just isn't any answer
to that one, as we in North Ma-
son know only too well.
At a footnote to the above, the
Washington State School Board of
Education on last Thursday ap-
proved the plan submitted by the
Masou Cmtnty Comm. on School
District Organization, so elections
will be set up to be held within 60
days.
AT THE JULY mccting of the
for approwtl. Since the intent of
the Legislature is to have the
smaller counties combined into a
larger intermediate unit however,
some comhination or other seems
inevitable.
In other business tile Board vot-
ed to participate agaiu this next
year in the Washington State In-
Service Education Fund and to re-
new the contract with the School
:Information and Research Service.
Bids for 1)read and dairy produqts
will be opened at the August
meeting. Supt. Norman Sanders
gave an explanation of the State
Auditor's Blanket voucher ap-
proval and an explauation of the
Federal Secondary and Elementary
Education Act passed re~:ently by
Congress.
Stan Freclin was hired as night
sweeper at the Elementary siLc
for next year, replacing Charles
Hoem who is resigning. Upon tile
recommendation of Supt. Sanders,
the Board also voted to hire Ron
Angxm to replace Dick Strain as
football coach and chemistry, so-
cial studies and physical educa-
tion teacher at the Junior-Senior
High School. Three tcacber posi-
tions remain to be filled - a high
school language arts and two ele-
mentaly grades. Angus comes lo
North Mason from Brewster where
he has served as head football
and assistant basketball coach for
'he past two years. He attended
Olymt)ic J.C. and the Univer,dty
of Puget Sound. He taught ele-
mentary classes at Highline for a
year al~d then spent two years in
the Army, after which he spent
two years at a Clover Park ele-
mentary school until moving to
Brewster in 1963. Hc will be as.-
sistcd in his football duties by
