Smith of tlatch retired from the Hood 'al School Board after the tcember meeting, he had aapleted 22 years as a school oard member. Smith attended the December ting at which his successor Endicott was seated. Smith ttd not sought re-election. leln 1947 when Smith was first cted to the school board, he rVed on the board of the old [Oodsport School District which ¢laprised the area from the aunty line to Potlatch. He was elected to the board succeed Francis Radtke, who ad moved out of the district. He ed as clerk of the board until he Hoodsport district nsolidated with the Union, Pper Skokomish, Middle Okomish and Lower Skokomish stricts to form the Hood Canal strict in 1957. i I When the district was first 'nsolidated, Smith said, it operated elementary schools at UniYn, Lower and Middle Skokomish and Hoodsport until the new school was built near the junction of Highways 101 and 21. The Middle Skokomish and Union Schools were closed first. Robert M. Smith The school at Hoodsport continued to operate until about two years ago, Smith said, when it was also closed. The only school remaining which is still in operation is the Lower Skokomish school and it will be closed with the completion of a building program which is now underway. Smith said he had ran for election each time his term on the school board was up. The terms were supposed to have been for four years, but, because of changes in the state law, he served terms of five years on some occasions. During his years on the board he represented the Hoodsport-Portlatch Director District on the board. Smith said his oldest son started in the first grade shortly after he was elected to the school board for the first time, and, his youngest son graduated from Hood Canal Junior High last year. Contractor for the project was D-A Construction, Shelton, and the Architects were Dalke and Andring, Shelton. The complex consists of five buildings, an administration building, an academic building, two living halls and a dining hail. The facilities were designed for future expansion if needed, with the two major items which will come later, a gymnasium and an additional living hall. All the training for the State Patrol will be done at the new facility. The training includes basic training for new State Troopers, in service training for those already on the Patrol. Specialized training in communications, for weighmasters, for breathalizer operation and others is planned. The Academy will also conduct training for other departments in traffic-related subjects. The administration building, called Bachofner Hall, includes the receptionists's area and office space for secretarial and clerical workers, offices for the member number which will be housed in each of the riving units. The building also includes three seminar rooms which can be used for communications training or for small classes. The academic building also has a weapons room and a gun cleaning room where all guns will be cleaned after use on the firing range. The academic building is named Pryde Hall, after a former Patrol Chief. Each of the two living units contain 18 rooms which will accommodate two men to a room. There are also a reading room and a television room. A parking area behind these two buildings will accommodate 72 vehicles and will be used by the trainees for their vehicles. The living units are called Cole Hall and Alego Hall, also after former Patrol chiefs. The proposed third living unit will be called Huse Hall. The dining hall is called Betlach Hall, also after a former Patrol Chief. The U. S.

It's the shiny green metal newsstand which formerly reposed - full of Journals - in front of the Safeway supermarket in downtown Sheiton. This awkward plaything was removed from that location during the dark of night and, although the Journal believes in Christmas giving, we didn't have this in mind this holiday season. If the person who took the newsstand will return it to the Journal office, we will present him with a brand-new toy choo-choo train and, in an added burst of philanthropy, buy a wedding license for his parents. lHHiH /
