Due to the geographic distribu tion of the district it Is difficult for the transportation of the pu pils. But by careful planning by the school board and administra tion, 9 routes have been outlined which provide adequate transpor tation for all who need it. After dealing with the problem of transportation emphasis was turned to the academic program. Any teacher coming to the staff is a teacher first. This being a starting point, the board and ad ministration proceeded to out line fundamental policies. These policies take in the school or ganization and relationship to all activities, the control and organi zation of all activities, the edu cational and business adminis tration of the school. These poli cies have provided for the needs and ambition and desire of the young people and the children. With much consideration, work and cooperation, the district now has one of the finest organized and achievement set-ups to be found. They have a nice turfed campus for football, baseball and other playground activities. They have a double tennis court. A new ac tivity building which houses the industrial arts department with six classes; a large cafetorium which includes a modern kitchen which makes it easy to run an up to date hot lunch program; five adequate rooms for the music department; a large standard gymnasium with a seating ca pacity for 900 to 1,000. Health and physical education programs are carried out here to fulfill the standard requirements. In addi tion to this building is a modern swimming pool which is very con veniently attached to the build ing. The water is heated in the pool. During the summer months the board and administration are conducting swimming classes and general swimming under the supervision of a qualified water Instructor and Iileguara. me latest addition to this full pro gram is a wading pol for the small children which is, also, under the supervision of the board and administration. All of this fine program would not have been possible if it were not for the fine cooperation of the neonle of the community. They are the backing of such a progressive program. Tono has less than 200 pupils in both grade and high school together. 4-H Club News HEPPNER VALLEY 4-HERS The Heppner Valley 4-Hers met Tuesday July 27th at the home of their leader.
