District Attorney Abrams said
that under the law, the tax

budget if the 10 mill tax were
levied again, it will be adjusted
downward to pet within the legal
limit and therefore taxpayers
will notice a slight drop in levy
In this part of the county budget.
District Attorney Abrams point
ed out that while the levy was
made in excess of the limitation,
it did not violate the spirit of
the mandate given by the people.
They voted an annual 10-mlll
levy for a 5-year period for the
first time in 1918, renewed it
in 1953 wllh another vote for
the 10 mill levy, and again in
l!r8. At the expiration of the
current 5-year period, however,
it will not be iKwsible to vote
for a specific millage levy. Un
der terms of a relatively new
law, the county must set up an
amount that it needs, and the

Program On Crafts
At Hen House Fair
An interesting program is
planned for the spring Hen
House Fair scheduled for Thurs
day, March 1, at the Pendleton
Grain Growers Building, renoie
ton. The morning session is set
to begin at 9:30 a. m. with pot
luck lunch at noon, and after
noon session following, dismiss
ing at 3:30 p. m. Those attend
ing the lunch are asked to bring
a written recipe of their potluck
dish.
Making up the program for
the day will be a showing of
colored slides, the sharing of
craft Ideas Including slip cov
erings for shoes, dew foam flow
ers, and other needle work. The
fair is open to the public.
13 minutes are allowed between
classes to make transportation
Witt-run. This, however, is ar
ranged to come off physical edu
cation, band and lunch periods
In order not to reduce time for
academic classes.
Coordination of the faculties
working in the separate build
Ings is a big problem. Brown
said. Difficulty of reaching a
teacher when needed Is compli
cated by the split system, and
the process of calling the faculty
together for a Mali meeting is
also difficult.
On days of Inclement weather
at Unlt-A. which was designed
as the first section of a high
school, there is no place for the
grade school children to play.
They go outside in the rain or
snow regardless. Brown said, and
come back muddy and wet. This
also creates a "mess in the
building.
If the bond Issue is approved
and the Heppner Lexington high
scnool is completed, an nign
school students of the two towns
and surrounding area will go
there. Grade school pupils will
be housed in the present high
school, together with the elemen
tary school just across the street
and the present first four grades
will be maintained at Lexing
ton. Th!s would eliminate the
buses and bring the school to
gether as a compact unit.
Housed In the present nign
school, the grade pupils would
have a gym of their own, a cafe
torium, an adequate nnrary
music rooms and other facil
ities.
As It is now. Brown explained
several of the grade levels have
no opportunity for Indoor play
even when they are at the
high school, wilhout Intruding
on high school physical edu
cation classes in the gym
At the same time, because
fifth and sixth graders use the
area around the high school
building for play, high school
students are denied this area

Pratt sa d

undertaking. Grade scnooi
youngsters start coming at 11:45
and lunch is served In shifts
until the high school students
have their lunch at 12:20. Grade
children are spaced two grades
at a time and have about 1U
minutes in which to eat lunch.
Principal Pratt pointed out
some of his problems occasioned
by a climbing high school en
rollment. With 206 students in
high school now, the enrollment
is destined to climb to 250 by
1964. He says that next year he
must have two of the three
rooms now in use by grade
school students in the nign
school. This leaves them with
no place to go. Pratt points out
that there are 42 students in his
senior class and there are bl
eighth graders who will be fresh
men next vear.
Some teachers in the high
school do not have a room to
call "their own," he said. Some
have no desk assigned to them
to keep their materials, no place
to correct papers in spare time.
The high school nas no laoor
ntnrv for biology and home-
making room will accommodate
only 16 girls at a time, consider
ably less than the demand. The
science room is small ana equip
ped to handle only 18 students
at a time, although it is possi
ble to get 2-1 chairs In the room,
Pratt said. ,
In the proposed plant, all these
limitations would be alleviated
science, homemaking, cafetorium
with adequate space for library,
and physical education.
Because of the squeeze be
tween the grade and high schools
here the competition for space
part of the school program
must suffer, the principals point

one of the grade school's most
popular clashes. Is destined to
be sacrificed next year, as
khop for eighth grade boys. Fifth
and sixth graders will be denied
a physical education da be
cause there will be no place to
pur mem. instead, a sonu sun
jett will be added to their day
but this means a long day for
the youngsters without a break
in their academic schedules.
At Unit -A Principal Brown now
has lhl pupils. The seventh
grade composed of 51 pupils is
divided Into three rooms, while
the eighth grade of fcl pupils
Is split into only two rooms. This
does not seem logical. Brown
said, but It Is necessary to keep
the eighth grade in two sec
tions of some 30 each, even
though the rooms at Unit-A are
designed to handily accommo
date 24 students, because there
are only two periods available
for the home ec and shop classes
at the high school which they
share with students there.
The split filth and sixth room
has 12 fifth graders and 10 sixth
graders; and 47 more sixth gra
ders are divided between two
rooms at the school.
In the extra curricular pro.
gram of the grade school, the
basketball team has to travel all
the way to Lexington to prac
tice, making the trips by bus,
because the high school has first
call on the gym here.
No hope for relief on school
population Is In sight. Those now
n school here, without anv in
flux of population, shows 51 in
the seventh grade, 59 in the
fourth grade and 78 in the first
grade. It may be noted that the
first grade class is nearly double
the number of the high school
graduating class, the principals
pointed out.
So this Is part of the details
of the problem for the Heppner
Lexington school program. The
principals feel that the school
construction here is vitally need
ed to coordinate the school pro
gram and offer the type of cur
riculum that most parents want
their children to have.
