SUBURBAN SCHOOL
TRANSFER program for
the 70’s is proving a step
into opportunity for Perry
Pierson. Perry lives at 4957
NE 8th Avenue. Quality
education is more of a factor
than busing. Perry recently
was elected student body
president of Menlo Park
elementary school.
DWAYNE ABRAHAM, who lives at 4036 N. Albina,
as a transfer student to William Walker school in Beaver
ton district was elected student body vice president of this
suburban school which is cooperating in the transfer pro
gram.
Two Portland students In the
suburban transfer program for
black children have been elected
to student body offices In their
adopted schools and a Portland
girl is currently running for of
fice at the suburban school she
attends.
The suburban transfer pro
gram, begun in 1968 to send
children from the Albina area to
schools in outlying d istr icts, is
really proving Itself this year,
according to Coordinator Donald
R oss, and the Portland transfer
students are becoming an inte
g r a l part of their adopted
sch ools. Dwayne
Abraham,
fourth grader from the Albina
area who has been attending
W illia m
Walker Elementary
School in Beaverton for the past
three years, has been chosen
student body vice-president by
his cla ssm a tes. Terry Pierson,
sixth grader, has been elected
student body president of Menlo
Park Elementary in the David
Douglas School D istrict. Terry,
form erly a student at Martin
Luther King School in North
Portland, has been attending the
David Douglas school on the
t r a n s f e r program sin ce the
fourth grade.
Currently running tor school
office is Dorene Larry, sixth
g r a d e girl from Eliot School
w h o has been attending Lake
Grove Elementary School sin ce
the fourth grade.
D o n a ld Ross reports that
about 96 Albina area students
are taking part in the suburban
transfer program this year,
with children attending schools
in the Beaverton, Lake Oswego,
David Douglas and Parkrose
school d istr ic ts. He says the
program has been growing each
year, with the outlying d istricts
continuing to ask for greater
numbers of black children.
Parents have becom e very
enthused, too, reports R oss, and
frequently will enroll m ore than
one child in the transfer pro
gram .
D w a y n e Abraham has a
younger brother, T erryl Lynn,
in the third grade at William
Walker School, and Terry P ier
son has a younger s is te r , Cath
erine, in the fourth grade at Oak
Hills School in the Beaverton
d istrict.
Dorene
Larry's
younger brother Rodney is in
the fourth grade at Lake Grove.
Portland parents interested in
enrolling their children in the
student transfer program should
contact the community agent in
their local school or the school
office for information. The vol
untary program is for black
children and transportation is
provided by the Portland Public
Schools.
Student
smoking
At the request of member
William Hilliard, the com m ittee
discussed the problem of stu
dent smoking at high sch ools.
Mr. Hilliard suggested that per
haps smoking lounges in the
schools should be provided so
that students would not be
forced to congregate around
sch ools, to sm oke. He noted that
this probably would mean the
Oregon law prohibiting minors
from p ossessin g tabacco would
have to be changed, and sug
gested that the com m ittee urge
the Board of Education to seek
such a change.
After much discussion, M rs.
Ruth Gudman, com m ittee chair
man, asked
the two student
m em bers of the com m ittee,
Miss Laila Aarnas and Spurgin
W aters, to survey the five area
high schools to determ ine what
fa cilities might be available for
student lounges.
Grant Hi
seeking
dialogue
The faculty and administra
tive staff of Grant High School
is seeking to establish better
channels of communication with
parents of students who are new
to Northeast Portland's largest
secondary school. The first step
toward bringing the school and
community c lo se r together a
meeting was held at the home
of Mr. and M rs. Robert King,
523 N .E . Tillamook St.
In a casual friendly atmos
phere a few parents gathered to
d iscu ss their common concern
with faculty m em bers. Among
them were M m e s . Porter,
S t r a h a n , Linda L ew is, Bea
L a w r e n c e , Naomi England,
Lynne Soto-Sulig, Alcena Boo
zer, Mr. Steve Brown, Mr.
David Copper and Mr. and M rs.
Jam es Majeske.
All participants agreed that
such a dialogue was useful and
should be continued. "When a
community has problems "con
cerned citizen s" should find
ways to solve the problems
rather than Just talk," said
M rs. Verna Shephard, Grant's
Community Agent.
M rs. Shephard announced that
the future meetings of the group
school adm inistrators will also
be present.
