The firms qid was for $858,995 including $84,-22- 9 to complete the proposed music section of the building and for air conditioning $31,200 equipment. The music section of the building is an alternate part of the overall plan. It would include a section for band and choral work on one side of the Auditorium. This complex and the air conditioning equipment may be dropped from the structure with the cost being one of the important determining factors. This is being discussed by the Board of Education this week. Even though the building is adequate as planned it is not over done. However the Board will meet with the architects Thursday of this week in an attempt to trim the cost. The Board will also determine just how much money is available and decide whether to go all the way or to eliminate one Missionary The first missionary from the Ibapah Branch of the Church of Saints Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y returned home this week after two years in the Great Lakes Elder Ron Bateman Mission. says Im glad to be home.

Coach Bray should get a lot of help with the return of Richard Kell, the rough and tough tackle. Kell missed the Granger fracas, but his ankle is good enough this week to allow him to get back in action. Brays big trouble up to now has been lack of experience, but with two games in back of him, plus some strenuous practices, his inexperienced charges will show up much better. Kids like Ren Imai, Mark Arnold, Bob Slowik, George Erickson, along with Ron Rydalch, Randy Davies, Gene Ishizuka, Jesse Dare, Alex Phil Pacheco, Doug Hymas, Bevan and Doug Tate, have all played good ball up to now, but theyll get better and better as time goes on. THE BUFF coaching staff has been spending a great deal of time this week trying to come up with a more potent offense. Actually they didnt do too bad last week, grinding out 1 44 yards against the Lancers, but they did miss a couple of good scoring opportunities. Early in the Granger game the Buffs recovered a fumble on the Lancer 16, but they missed scoring when they fumbled on third down. And a couple of other times they had Granger deep in the sock, with long yardage on third down, but the Buffs couldnt hold them, with the wide runs against the Buff defense resulting in big gainers and first downs.
