C hoice Boneless Beef By Kathryn H all Bogle “ Harriett Tubman Middle School is alive and w ell!” announces Edith Wilson. She should know as she is principal o f this school now at the end o f its first year of existence. Harriett Tubman Middle School will be graduating 115 o f its students into the C ity's high schools on the evening o f June 9 from their own auditorium in the (old Monroe) building at 2508 N .E. Everett street The entire enrollment at Tubman, adding up the 6th, 7th and 8th graders who make up the student body, comes to 420. “ We are pleased with what has happened at Harriett Tubman in our first year,” stated M rs. W ilson. “ A t our Academic Awards Assembly last Thursday, we were happy to be able to hand out 200 achievement cer tificates to our students who had grade averages between 3.0 and 4.0! We are proud o f that. S ta ff and students are getting acquainted w ith each other, our ground rules are set and being un derstood, and our expectations are high. D iscipline has changed dram atically since last fa ll at opening. For the first three months o f the term we had 76 suspensions overall. This spring term we had no more than 16. We are proud o f that too! “ Our students come from homes all over the Portland school district and at this tim e, we are ready to receive applications fo r the fa ll enrollment for 1981. In fact we have already had about 60 parents come to Tubman for orientation for their children fall classes.” Mrs. W ilson pointed out that while parents from other areas in the city are invited to send their children to Tubman, students who come from King and Humboldt, the “ feeder” schools, have first claim on vacancies in the classrooms at this time. She urges King and Hum boldt parents who intend to enroll their children at Harriett Tubman, to so do without delay. • A teen-ager, fo r the firs t tim e, will be added to the executive board o f the local branch o f the Urban League, according to Freddye Pet- tet, Urban League Executive. The League’ s program fo r Youth Leadership and Development, through its coordinato r, Ruth W hite, has set up a training program fo r com m unity youth to learn the inner workings o f com munity organizations, Mrs. Pettet said. Mrs. W hite recommended Lisa Manning, a 16 year old Jefferson High School sophomore, to be the first person to sit in w ith the regularly chosen adult members of the League’ s board. The appoint ment is for a three-month period. Said Lisa, “ It w ill be an impor- tan, step fo r me to be a part o f a decision-making organization and to see how the organization works in the com m unity. My goal is to see that where youth is involved youth will have something to say.” Lisa, born in P ortland, is the daughter o f Georgia and V ollie Manning. Both Mrs. Pettet and Mrs. White believes that the idea o f adding young persons to organizational boards w ill set a national trend for Urban League offices. • Jeffersonians are keeping a close watch on the weather charts and hoping for bright warm weather for early June. Their interest in the weather is more intense this year than usual for the class o f June 1981 is to receive their diplomas on their own tu rf. That means outside on their own campus. For the first time in memory the seniors in their traditional caps and gowns w ill file down the aisles toward the heroic statue o f Thomas Jefferson to hear their commence ment address.
