The Morrow County School
board approved four new con
tracts at the meeting Mon
day evening. Three given con
tracts are June graduates
from Eastern Oregon Col
lege. They are: Lynda
Veristain to teach English
and typing at Heppner High
School, Gail Hermann to teach
2nd grade at lone, Charles
Endicott to teach 5th and
6th grades at AC Houghton
and Howard S. Mudder, grad
uate of the University ofOre
gon, to teach science at River
side High School.
Resignations from Bob
Clough and Stan Addison were
accepted. Mr. Clough will go
to South Albany High School
and Mr. Addison plans to at
tend graduate school.
Contract adjustments: Dean
Naffziger to head basketball
coach and Athletic Director,
Raymond Kiaynard 7th grade
basketball and Dennis Cass
Jr. High School track.
Diana Kincaid requested a
change of assignment from
2nd grade to 4th.
Sup t. Daniels said that golf
and other coaching assign
ments would be delayed until
staff is completed. He noted
also that resignations would
be accepted up until June 1
but after that only if re
placements can be found.
Four bids were received
for the 12 passenger panel.
The low bid accepted was
from Fulleton Chevrolet for
a 1972 sport van at a total
price of $4,244.14. The board
was told that if the car was
ordered right away, the 1972
model would very likely be
available. If they have to go
to a 1973 model the base price
would be 2 or 3 percent
higher. The bid price was
$250. over the amount allow
ed in the budget but any delay
would mean an increase in
costs. The district has used
the same van, as ordered, for
the past year and are very
well pleased with its perfor
mance. Those using it do find
fault with the rattle of the
sliding door, but they have
been assured this canbe rem
edied. First grade enrollment at
Heppner stands at 45. After
quite a discussion, the board
decided to stay with three
teachers anticipating a likely
school enrollment increase
due to families moving in to
work in the mill.
The board approved the
adoption of a new McGraw
Hill Science series for use in
grades 1 to 8 in all three
elementary schools. Princi
pal Don Cole explained that
science is taught from diff
erent experimental kits
rather than from the tra
ditional textbook method. The
science texts were not order
ed last year as a study was
to be conducted this year,
to learn how the teachers
felt about this change. The
initial cost to get into the
program will be $4500.
There's $3300 in the text book
fund from this year's budget
and the remaining $1200. will
be paid from the 1972-73
budget.
Mr. Daniels told the board
that the changes in the county
necessitates board consid
eration and adoption of a
policy pertaining to school
attendance in resident areas.
The board will consider such
a policy early in the summer.
Don McEUigott was autho
rized to inspect the compres
sor at the lone Shop and de
cide which wav toeo. whether
to repair the old one or pur
