MEMBER OF OREGON NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSN. CLASSROOM PILGRIMAGE As Valley school faculty members start the fall pilgrimage back to begin a new year of educational duties, we’re prompted to comment on the past administration of the high school which just this week changes hands. With no intent to shower Mr. Mc Abee with laurels other than those his two-year record earned him in the minds of Valley parents of high school youth and the school board, one aspect of his leadership as principal was sufficiently unique, as viewed during the writer’s short residence here, to place it as a target at which other school personnel might shoot, regardless of the school in which they’re employed. All too often the school teacher feels that when his long day in the classroom has been completed in ad dition to the extra hours consumed by extra curricular school activities, his salary has been more than earned and his responsibility to the district ful filled. This is a common attitude found in schools outside the Valley, The Valley of Yesteryear and probably applies to some extent to several public school educators within our district. A sincere effort to encourage par ticipation in community and district activities outside the realm of the school as led by the former principal was conspicious this past year with many high school teachers taking part in time-consuming programs of Valley organizations, non-school in- . stitutions and projects. This broadening of efforts into non-school fields places the teacher and administrator alike in a much more favorable position to succeed in school activities and programs, and is an invaluable publicity aid both to the profession and to the requests of faculties when increased salaries and facilities are up for consideration. By virtue of their above average background of education, school teachers make valuable community leaders and workers especially in a rural district .such as ours whose needs expand by the day, and uncom pleted projects abound. It is not our purpose to welcome only McAbee’s highly recommended successor and the high school staff, but the entire corps of new and for mer teachers throughout the Valley back to the fold fora new and success ful year of service to Valley schools. We both urge and seek their wholehearted cooperation and a feel ing of responsibility toward the year ’round activities of this new and ex panding area. We express the hope of the Valley that regardless of their intended k n.gth of employment ten ure in the \ alley that they consider all district problems, not just the school’s, as their own, and carry their share of the burden alongside their fellow citizens during their residence in the Illinois Valley. i purchased a hay grinding and chopping mill and as soon as he i gets his power plant ready for I operation he will be in the market fur custom work. 10 YEARS AGO FUND DRIVE FOR CANCER RESEARCH SLATED IN OCT Mra.
