ARTHUR pXGODFREY 1:00-2:30 ! 7 ART ' LINK LETTER'S PARTY 12 45-1 12 Dial Catholic School In West Roseburg To Serve 300 By LAURA OLSON -- Stiff Wrltor, Ntw Roviow ' Some 150 boys and girls entered brand-spanking new school class rooms last week. They constituted the first mem bers in the eight classes, grades 1 through 8, of St. Joseph's School in West Roseburg., The $330,000 building was the initial phase of a Catholic Center which will be constructed on seven acres of ground on Stanton Street at Har vard Avenue. Parish activities until recently centered on the land which hous es the old school and church since its purchase by the parish Aug. 17, 1866. St. Joseph's Church was built around 1906, according to Fr. Edmond Hvland. pastor of St. Joseph's Parish. A wooden frame building served the parishioners until 1906. It was in that year that the recently-vacated St. Joseph's Church was built. - - Today, the new school building is serving a dual purpose; Until the planned church is construct ed, St. Joseph's parishioners will attend church services conducted in the school's multipurpose room. Next fall, when the school is no longer the newest in the county, some 300 students are expected to be attending classes. The expand ed enrollment means an enlarged teaching staff. - Construction work on St. Jo seph's school was handled bv the Henry Mason Co. of Portland. Much of the subcontracting was handled locally. Landscaping of the school grounds will get underway when weather permits, according to Fr. Hyland. Meanwhile, students wee too busy getting acquainted with .heir new institution to worry much about grass. - Roseburg School Buses' Carry Parochial Students About 50 Catholic children, stu dents in St. Joseph's School, now are making use o( the Kosemirg school bus system in riding to school. . Luther Ellison, operator of the Ellison Transportation Co.. school bus contractor, said 40 of the chil dren ride each morning between Central Junior High School and the parochial school, located near Mel rose Road in West Roseburg, and 10 more come from the Wilbur Winchcster area. Use of the bus system is auth orized in state school regulations, which say local school boards are obligated to transport students in private and parochial schools when the schools are on or near a reg ular bus route. Most of the 40 riding between the iunior hitfh school and St. Joseph's School walk to the junior high to be picked up by a school bus. The bus is empty at the time, be ing on Its way to Melrose to pick up pupils attending public schools. GRANTS SLATED The University of Oregon school of journalism at Eugene announc es a new scholarship program which will enable deserving and qualified high school seniors to study journalism in the university.

Sabine, dean of the journalism school, four students will receive S.100 four- year scholarships next fall. pm Hniier '9VTs 45-1.00 pm 00 om 1490 R m READIN' 'N WRITIN' 'N RJTHMETIC Students at St. Joseph's School were really con centrating when News-Review Photographer Paul Jenkins caught them in the middle or a class period.
