GOT KINDA WINDY This broken pile of lumber and metal was a cow shed on the J. H.

Board Studies Plans for School Weather Tosses Bond Election Scheduled May 27 Double Punch Approval Granted for Summer Kindergarten Class to Be Held at Snowville This Year i At Local Area A one-tw- o Routine matters were considered by the board of education at its last regular meeting and progress studies made in connection with building and equipment needs of the dis. trict and steps being taken in the proposed bond election planned for May 27. A change order for the Corinne school addition was adopted by the board at an additional cost of $833.80. Major items in the change order were a new concrete floor for boiler room number two, and closing in of two windows in the stairwell. . Approval was given for the county to blacktop the area between the Garland school and the highway running past it. It was reported that this work could be done while the county road crew was in the area. Estimated cost to the district was set at $400. Flagpoles at the districts schools came in for some consideration when it was voted to authorize needed painting and repairs to those poles needing it. The matter of providing a parking area in front of the Promontory school house was tabled for future consideration. Consider Rodeo Program Three representatives of the National High Championship School Rodeo association met with the board to present a program for district participation in a national rodeo program. They explained that the association purpose is to promote the highest type of conduct and sportsmanship at student rodeos. This would include standards, scholastic and otherwise, which would have to be met. It was unanimously carried that the district would support the activities as outlined providing there would be no financial obligation to the schools or the district. The board members authorized creation of a kindergarten class at the Snowville school. The children have been transported n to the McKinley school in previously. The board reasoned that since the cost of transportation amounted to nearly as much as the cost of one teacher, it would be practical to at a kindergarten establish Snowville. The action was taken in response to a letter from Mrs. Kendall Kimber, secretary of the Snowville school Parent-Teacher- s association.
