FLASHBACK
This week in history: Students get
hepatitis shot and new school wings
100 years ago
Jan. 12, 1922 — Redmond
5th city in point of school at-
tendance growth
Redmond union high school
is fifth in Oregon in point of
attendance increases between
1920 and 1921, it is shown by
figures presented in an annual
statement of public education
prepared in the office of J.A.
Churchhill, state superinten-
dent of public instruction.
Redmond’s increase in the
period covered by the report
was 48 percent.
West Linn, a new school
near the Oregon City paper
mills, was credited with the
largest gain — 70 percent.
75 years ago
Jan. 16, 1947 — Grade
board decides to build wing
School to request bond issue
to make project possible.
Redmond grade school, with
its people load increasing by
the month— count of students
jammed into present quarters
has now climbed to 603 — has
decided to build.
Voters of the district will
have the final say, because a
bond issue Will first have to
be voted, but at its meeting
last evening the school board
announced its plans for going
ahead with the building project
that has been on the drafting
tables of architects Jones and
Marsh for some time.
One wing proposed
Only one wing of the
planned structure, not the en-
tire building, is proposed for
construction at this time by the
board. This wing would pro-
vide about eight classrooms
and an office, and should fur-
nish enough space to enable
the school to squeeze by next
year unless enrollment climbs
clear out of control.
Plans for the complete new
school plant, to be located just
three blocks north of the pres-
ent school, cornering on Tenth
and Ash, call for a total of 23
rooms and also a gymnasi-
um-auditorium. Cost of con-

struction of the entire project
has been roughly estimated at
around $230,000.
The school district, however,
is prevented by the law from
bonding itself for more than 5
per cent of the assessed valu-
ation of the district. This puts
a limit of about $95,000 on
bonds that could be issued.
Cash available
From its high levy this year
the school now has $50,000
in cash for the building funds.
This added to the bond issue
would provide a starting capi-
tal of $145,000.
50 years ago
Jan. 12, 1972 — FAA re-
studies airport land
Sen. Mark O. Hatfield’s Of-
fice notified the spokesman
just prior to the press time that
the Washington, D.C., office of
the federal aviation adminis-
tration is “re-studying the en-
tire matter” of Redmond’s right
to retain three tracks of airport
land which are being used for
non-airport-related purposes.
Acting secretary of trans-
portation James N. Beggs, em-
phasizing that the study would
focus on current and potential
development, stated in a letter
to Hatfield, “ You may be rest
assured that the points raised
in your letter concerning the
airports potential and land
need for future development
will be carefully considered.”
Larry Smith, staff assistant
to Hatfield, termed the letter “a
good sign that there may be a
change in the departments in-
terpretation,” which heretofore
had called for the land to revert
to the federal government un-
der terms of the Federal Airport
Act of 1946. The act, by which
the airport was conveyed to the
city by the federal government,
specified that lands not used for
airport purposes would revert
to the government.

nurse Amber Turnage said the
vaccination clinic was “very
smooth” thanks to the donated
efforts of local nurses and phy-
sicians.
However, the short six-
month timeline required by the
three-dose vaccination meant
not all students took permis-
sion slips home. Freshman stu-
dents under 15 were required
to have parental permission for
the shot.
However, a federal statute
allows anyone 15 and older to
seek medical attention without
parental permission.
Two parents and a woman
without children in school
were told RHS principal Dan
Purple they were concerned
that parental permission is not
required for that age.
Most students seemed to
enjoy taking control of their
health decisions, Turnage said.
Purple pointed out the value
of the free medical care was
an exceptional benefit to the
students. The three-shot series
normally cost $180 per person.
The second dose in the se-
ries will be Feb. 25 at the high
school.
