Community School for a quality
education, so you will have that
opportunity in the various high
schools where you are registered,”
Sister Kathleen said, her voice
breaking. Father Bertram made a
plea: ‘‘1 have heard a great deal of
how people at St. Andrew will help
you but I ask you to do something. 1
ask that you get this education and
then come back to this community
and work for the next generation af­
ter you. We need your help.”
The most emotional presentation
was given by Sister Kathleen Stupel.
“ It is these strengths that 1 wish to

student I will remember him or her
for certain unique characteristics.
Tammy - for her determination to
overcome her handicap; Tunja - for
her sensitivity toward others; Tanya

dependence; Tim - for his diligence
and attentiveness; Catherine - For
her concern for younger children

honesty and sensibility and Dennis -
for his persistence in efforts to learn
English.
“ I wish the seven of you the best
for the coming year. Try to get the

Remember that only you can decide
on the path you take. The rest of us
can only serve to help you in your

St. Andrew School
graduates seven
On June 4, 1981.. St. Andrew
Community School held graduation
ceremony for seven smiling, happy
and anxious students. It was a
family affair.
But it were the students who
provided the spirit for family.
Said Tanya Harris: “ I have
changed in many ways this year. I
got a better education this year,
than I ever had before. I learned to
face my problems and solve them.
All the teachers at St. Andrew have
been helpful, but there is one
teacher who I admire very much.
Her name is Miss Shephard. We
have worked very together and my
friend has been a great friend and
teacher too.”
The main address of the evening
was delivered by Nyewusi Askari.
He spoke of the need for parents to
continue to educate themselves.
‘‘The world we have built is com­
plex, confusing and oftentimes
frightening to our children, there­
fore, it is necessary for continued in­
volvement in all aspects of com-
munity/City affairs. It is through
this process that our understanding
of the world we have built, becomes
clear and explainable to our
children. But we must take all pre­
cautions that we do not use this
knowledge as a negative weapon
against them,” he said.
Speakers for the evening included
Sister Kathleen Stupfel and Father
Bertram Griffin. “ I am very proud
of you tonight. You shared your
thoughts so well and in a poised
manner. I want you to know that
you, graduates, have many gifts.

If you’ve ever soaked in a
hot spring or seen a geyser spout,
you’re familiar with geothermal en­
ergy. Oregon has many geothermal
sites, particularly in the Cascades.
In fact, geothermal resources
have been used for years directly for
residential, industrial, and commer­
cial heating purposes in Klamath
Falls, Oregon.

According to Hollis
Dole, former Oregon State

ration technology stands at
the same point today as oil ex­
ploration technology did in
the 1920s, but the level of activ­

Additionally, the Oregon

Commission’s Geothermal Task-
force cites the "high cost of financing
the inherent risks of geothermal ex­
ploration and development ’ as a bar­

At current costs, an 8,000 foot
well can cost $1 '/i to $2 million dollars
to drill. And it still can come up dry.
