Budget deficit disclosed;
Shoviin cuts spending
“Budget forms are filled out
by each school supported depart
ment listing their expenses for
the school year,” stated Vice
principal Hubert Shoviin. “I go
over these forms and cut some
unneeded expenditures without
hindering department activities.”
Debate teams, the Grantonian,
athletics, Gendrills, rally, dra
ma, assembly committee, thé
band and orchestra, among oth
ers are all dependent on school
funds. A faculty adviser is the
head of each activity in order to
maintain a budget.
“There are not enough ways
to make money,” commented Mr.
Shoviin. “The student body card
is our main source of income, but
the Grantonian takes $2 or $3
from every card sold. This leaves
$1 for student funds.”
Dads’ club donates $200 for
student funds and the student
body store supplies a minor in
come. However, these along with
the student body card constitutes
the entire source of school in
come.
Willard Mohn, John Stuckey,
Miss Janet Jack, Mr. Shoviin,
and four students yet to be chos
en will make up this year’s bud
get committee.
“The budget committee is set
up only for students to see how
their money is spent,” said Mr.
Shoviin. With a shifting around
of expenses this year the school
should be able to break even.
“Money was spent last year in
order to give Gendrills and Pep
squad a chance to get started. It
is hoped this year, these groups
will bring some revenue to the
school.
