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.

to get off my chestI do not
get the Pilot regularly. And re

the December issue w’hich con
tained the story of the opening
of Mine Host Vincent’s Shadow
Room. 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

pect to hear from this writer one
day.
Now, my dear scribe, do not
be too captious of the composi
tion above. My fingers are some
what pied when it comes to typ
ing. Your truly, W. A. Carroll.
(Editor’s note: That issue was
