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

qualified high school seniors to
study journalism in the university.
According to Gordon A. Sabine,
dean of the journalism school, four

year scholarships next fall.
