“ 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.

Rose M arie H olim an, young,
gifted and Black, divide her time
between attending school, working
two jobs and writing; the first love
of the three.
Rose, a native o f Seattle, Wash

munity College, (Cascade campus),
and is w orking to be w rite r, a
dispenser o f feeling and under
standing that w ill bring jo y and
happiness to those around her. ” 1
w rite for two reasons,” she said.
“ One is that I have a better under
standing o f myself, and the other is
to give people a closer understan
ding o f their feelings.”
She said, “ Your mind wanders -
in many directions, picking up
vibes, feeling things, th a t’ s why I
say, being a writer is a g ift.”
Rose engages in demonstration
marches and evaluation o f her Black
brothers and sisters. “ I demonstrate
in marches because I feel that it is a
way to show people that I care and
that I am looking for a change.
" I would like to establish my own
business stationary, selling greeting
cards, posters, and so forth.
“ There is a lot o f Black talent
here in P ortland, but when most
Blacks fail, they won’ t pick them
selves up and try again. We need a
change o f negative thoughts that
people have on race and color,” she
concluded.
