After several month of obser
vation we find that we have one
of the finest setups in the state.
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.
