Hamlin concluded the
discussion by stating Mr. and Mrs.
Lovgren would be notified of the
school board's decision by letter.
No formal action was taken
by the board at the meeting
Tuesday night.
The question, as tossed back
and forth between the audience
and school board and
administrators, centered around
whether the dress and appearance
codes in the high school came
under tide board's power from the
state to make reasonable rules and
regulations for school conduct.
The administrators statement
said:
Shelton administrators believe
that public bodies such as public
schools, are obligated to protect
individual rights of students,
provide them with adequate due
process, provide opportunity for
students to participate in
representative government and
share in the operation of the
school, including giving full
consideration to student wishes
concerning dress and appearance
codes. The administrators are
proud of the student body and
believe the youth of Shelton as a
group is one of the finest in the
State.
All Shelton school
administrators in the elementary,
secondary and central office areas
believe the present dress and
appearance codes found in the
junior - senior high school
handbooks, as developed by
student-faculty committees, give
adequate leeway for a suitable
variety of dress and appearance
among students.
During a period of several
winter months last year when
parts of the dress and appearance
codes were dropped there was a
deterioration of the educational
process in most of the schools of
the Shelton District. Records of
both a general and specific nature
were kept, which showed
increased student disciplinary
problems, more negative attitudes
toward education developing, less
respect and courtesy shown by
students toward their peers, lower
scholarship in the case of some
students that was directly related
to extreme dress, a lowered image
of the student body by much of
the community and increased
distraction in the classroom.
Since administrators of public
schools are charged by statute and
school pohcy-to make rules and
regulations, to assure a proper
environment for the conduct of its
operations, including rules and
regulations relative to grooming,
dress, hair style and the like, and
the right and duty to enforce
those, any deterioration of the
educational process must be
corrected.
Since a definite deterioration
in the broad areas of personal
pride, scholarship, attitude, and
behavior occurred during the
relaxation of the dress code, the
administration of the Shelton
Public Schools will continue to
insist on reasonable rules and
regulations for student conduct,
dress and appearance.
Perhaps the need for dress and
appearance codes could best be
summed up by part of a
statement written to the office by
a teacher last year who noted a
definite and unsatisfactory change
in her class during the relaxation
of the dress code as follows: "I
found their conduct was not good
since the students acted as they
dressed." The administration
believes that to get the best
educational results in a school and
to keep a desirable learning
atmosphere that a semi-formal
dress and appearance is desirable.

Tuesday night, after spending
more than an hour on the "hair"
issue, went on to conduct other
business.
Supt. Louis Grinnell reported
to the board that enrollment as of
Oct. 1, was 91 less than it was
Oct. I, 1969, and that this would
mean about $35,000 less in state
money for the district.
Architect Harold Dalke
presented revised plans for the
new handicapped school building
which he said would reduce the
cost to bring it in line with the
amount of money the district had
to spend.
Previous bids were all rejected
when they came in well above the
architect's estimate.
Dalke said the revisions
included elimination of the
masonry and going to a wood
frame building similar to that the
addition to Mr. View and
Bordeaux.
Other changes include
lowering of the roof pitch and
deletion of the air conditioning
system.
He stated that he estimated
the cost under the proposed plans
would be $52,000 to $57,000 less
than the previous bids.
The plans must now be sub-
mitted to the state fire
marshall's office and electrical
inspector for approval before they
can be put out for bids again.
The board, after hearing a
report on an investigation of a
synchronized swimming program
for girls, voted to accept the
recommendation of Walter
Clayton, who made the study,
that the program not be instituted
right now.
The board asked the
administration to prepare a
proposal for participation in a ski
school program to be presented to
the board at a later meeting. Jack
Magel, director of the Crystal
Mountain Ski School, appeared at
the meeting to discuss it with the
board..
The board accepted the
resignation of Nancy James,
effective Dec. 4. Mrs. James ;s a
junior high school teacher.
The board approved

By JAN DANFORD
"When President Taft drove
by our home in Kansas I was,
perhaps, five or six years old. He
was wearing a stove-pipe hat, and
he rode in an open car - the only
car in town. The incident remains
a highlight of my childhood. I
have since viewed many cars, but
I have never seen another
president."
Such are the reminiscences of
Pastor Edwin Zschoche, who was
honored on the atternoon of
October 4 in the Mt. Olive
Lutheran Church On the 40th
anniversary of his installation into
the ministry. He will retire at the
end of the year.
In 1905 Pastor Zschoche was
born in southeast Missouri in a
little town by the name of Point
Rest which has since been swept
away by the flooding Mississippi
River. He had a sister and two
brothers, and his father, who in
less than a month will be 91 years
old, was a machinist by trade.
When Edwin Zschoche was four
years of age the family moved to
Kansas.
During the year of 1920 he
began his schooling in St. Paul's
College in Concordia, Mo. from
which he was graduated in 1926.
He then attended Concordia
Seminary in St. Louis, graduating
in 1930.
Married in 1931 to Alice
Brockmeyer of St. Louis, Pastor
Zschoche says: "In listing the
many blessings that God has
permitted me to enjoy, there is
none more precious to me than
the gift of a faithful and loving
wife."
He was called first to mission
fields in Alberta, Canada, not far
from Edmonton; and his next
call, in 1933, was to Ida Grove,
Iowa, where he served in St.
Paul's Lutheran Church. It was to
Calvary Lutheran Church in Sioux
City, Iowa, that he went in 1942,
followed by a move in 1953 to
Zion Lutheran Church in
Portland, Ore.
An ardent golfer, the Rev.
Edwin Zschoche at one time also
knew a fondness for fishing, an
enthusiasm shared by his wife.
The two of them made many
happy trips to the lakes of
Minnesota. However, on an
exceedingly rough ocean-fishing
expedition approximately ten
years ago, Pastor Zschoche failed
to find the slightest pleasure.
"Everyone was sea-sick,
except me," he declared. "That
seemed to make it worse. I was
completely aware and conscious
of our great danger. 1 was
terrified." The boat pitched and
wallowed in the churning waters,
and the pastor prayed. He
promised the Lord that if he got
out of that mess he would never
again get into another like it.
"Since that time," states the Rev.
Zschoche, "my interest in angling
has definitely waned."
On the first of November in
1966, he became the pastor of
Mt. Olive Lutheran Church which
stands high on a beautifully
landscaped hill between Hillcrest
and Angleside.
The love and esteem with
which Pastor Zschoche, treasurer
of the ministerial association, is
regarded by his congregation and
his fellow ministers was reflected
in the anniversary observance held
in his honor. Emil Jaech of
Portland, president of the
Northwest District of Lutheran
Church Missouri Synod, delivered
the sermon to the assembly,
which included a number of local
pastors as well as a sprinkling of
ministers ol u~ uwn faith
attending from nearby cities.
Both junior and senior choirs
sang under the direction of Phil
St~ehr, and a reception was held
in the church parlors later in the
day.
Following the service Bill
Johnson, president of the
congregation, addressed the group
and in their behalf presented to
Pastor Zschoche a gift certificate
for a complete set of Arnold
Palmer aluminum-shafted golf
clubs. "I am on Cloud Nine;" said
the minister, "These clubs are to a
golfer what a Stradivarius is to a
violinist."
Also given to the guest of
honor was a volume filled with
messages of congratulation and
friendship sent by fellow pastors
and former members of the
congregation to a committee who
collected them into a book as a
surprise for their pastor.
The Rev. and Mrs. Zschoche
have a son who is employed by
Tektronics, near Beaverton, Ore.
The eldest of their five
grandchildren will enroll this fall
in a ministerial college.
Upon his retirement the
minister and his wife will live in
Portland and will become
members of the Lutheran Church
in Beaverton. "I may try my hand
at writing," says the pastor, " and
1 will do pulpit work for
neighboring churches."
