« BROÓKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS. OREGON THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1949 Ophir High Schoo! May Consolidate With Gold Beach ‘‘Since the state department of education has told the district it must add another teacher to the high school faculty, and with the costs already too high per pupil, it looks like the only way is to consolidate with Gold Beach,” Wm. Coffman, of Ophir, told the Pilot, Monday. ’“People of the district have seen this situation coming for a time, and dreaded the time when it would lose its own high school, but I don’t see any other way.” With the state department of education setting standards high er, many schools over the state have been given ultimatums, to improve or to consolidate with another district. Brookings felt the demands of the board of higher education, which said it had 65 requirements to be met. by September of this year, or the school’s standard rating would be lost.

If this issue is not sold cut. please look at the pile on the counter by the door. I could even wait until Gene gets back from school for the summer. At any rate, see what you can do. So much for that. I hope all the people in Brookings are en joying good health in taht heal thiest of places: to mention a few Mine Host Vincent; the good Boniface Young; that piscatorial expert. Joe Gallagher; Mrs. Smith and her able assistants in the Post Office (incidentally their work should be lighter with the new’ cancelling machine). Mr. Frazier of the curio shop can take a bok for his courtesy to a passing stranger, and a tip of the hat to Realtor Pete Les- meister, who incidentally can ex pect to hear from this writer one day.
