After being postponed a week, school began Sept. 22 with an enrollment of 1,252, which in the first week rose to 1,275 and by semester is sup posed to exceed 1,300. In the main hall students found lists which they check ed to find their registration rooms. The registration room period was an hour long and was used to receive schedules and books. Classes the first day were cut short and school was dismissed early. ' Monday morning upper classman were as confused as sophomores. The familiar room numbers that identified classrooms had been changed. Such titles as 22C had sprung up. The change in numbers was made necessary by the addition of a new wing. Besides changing - the num bers, colors were changed. Many rooms in the business department are shades of blue and melon. . . -., Students from nOn - high school districts were remind ed to turn in their tuition cards at the high school office.

But all the 'confusion did not keep various clubs and or ganizations from getting into the swing of things by start ing organizational plans. The Future Homemakers announced their first meet ing of the year for Thursday. The announcement stated that any girl interested in joining could do so if she had taken home economics and had fifty cents for dues. Thursday evening after school the International Re lations League had a meeting for old members. The Girl's Athletic associ ation started the year off with a splash with plans for a swimming party. All girls are invited. Friday saw the distribu tion of Hi-Times, with staff members busy at work a week before school started organ izing and gathering news. Us ually a four page edition, the first issue this year was six pages. Remedial English tests start once again for seniors. This year they are to be given in a different way. Instead of the tests being given in the auditorium as . before, the class will be divided into four groups. Each group will go to one of the following rooms: the girls gym, the boys gym, the auditorium, or the cafeteria. The tests are scheduled sometime next week. The student council, head ed by student body president, Dale Forsee, held an informal "gettogether" at the home of Lou Elsa Voegtly Sept. 18. Pre-school organizing of com mittees, and various duties of council members were dis cussed. . Also, members were able to meet their advisor, DeVere Taylor. The morning of Sept. 26, the council held its first offi cial meeting. President Forsee gave a brief outline of the calendar of student council events and introduced Jerry Vice, chairman of the con stitutional committee. Jerry then explained that the pur pose of- his committe was to investigate school constitu tions and to later rewrite our own so that it will be more up to standard. Also discussed was Torna- dia week, which will be held the week prior to our last home football game that with Klamath Falls Oct. 17. The next student council meeting will be Wednesday. The student store, at its new location in Room 31 ac ross from the boy's gym, is now open in the morning from 8 to 8:20 and also after school from 3:20 . to 3:40. It is under the sponsorship of the Future Business Leaders of America this year and of fers a range of school supplies for student purchases. , A map showing the area from which students will need special permission to drive cars to school has been placed in the showcase across from the office. This area is within a mile radius of the school. Unless the student lives outside this area or has re ceived special .permission he will not be permitted to drive a car to school or use student parking facilities. Spaces in the parking area have not yet been assigned as school officials are wait ing for the cafeteria to be com pleted before, restricting the students. When it's completed a new driving policy will be given the students who drive to school which must be sign ed by his parents and approv ed by Lester D. Harris, prin cipal. ' .

For several years the old building had been overcrowd ed to such an extent that the auditorium had had to be con verted into two make-shift classrooms, which made it necessary for all school activi ties to be held at the Grange "tall about three quarters of a mile away. ' A bond measure passed by local voters in 1956 made it possible for plans to get under way for the addition of three new classrooms and the re modeling of the existing building. Accordingly, early in September, 1957, ground was broken and the new building started. During the process of construction, work stoppages were encountered, due to weather and a labor strike involving plasterers, but in August of this year the complete job was turned over to the school district. Original Amount The original amount of the contract was $129,975, and total expenditure for the new building and improvements to the old was $134,644.26. Prior to construction, $5,000 was ad vanced to the school district by the county school board for use in unforeseen expendi tures. " Square footage in the new building is 3,957, and in the old portion, 4,559. Work done in the old build ing includes the restoration of the auditorium, with over head floodlighting replacing the footlights on the stage; a new kitchen with electric stove, refrigerator, a new sink and counter top and a pass through to the auditorium; a new office; new rest and study room for the teachers; a completely new and newly furnished sick room: new heating plant, and the tiling of the walls in the lavatories. A recessed trophy case also has been added in the hall way. Conducive lo Studies in coniormance with pro fessional studies and research, each ' classroom has been painted shades considered most conducive to study, and offering the least reflection, and consequent eye-strain. Robert J. Keeney of Med ford was the architect, and A. J. McMurry of Yreka the con tractor. The original area of the school grounds was ZVa acres, ana an additional SV& acres have been acquired which provides adequately for ath letic fields and future expan sion. Fencing the newly ac quired adjacent property was included in the building proj ect, as well as paving the yard, landscaping, and plan ning the play areas in accord ance with the expanded school ground area. Other Problem The building project was by no means the only problem facing the elementary school board over the past three years. The other most press ing problems included trans portation for pupils in outly ing districts, and the lack of suitable drinking water in the school. The need for adequate transportation was para mount. A system of private vehicles employed in, the ca pacity of busses had obvious drawbacks, which left the board with a choice of alter natives: either to continue to contract student transporta tion at a cost considered by the board to be exhorbitant, or to purchase a bus. When the latter course was decided upon, additional fac tors were encountered. Aside from selecting a driver whose dependability and integrity Phone SP 2-2022 GREEN-STAMPS had to be -above reproach, there were the additional problems of adequate insur ance and compliance with in numerable laws designed to protect students while in transit. , New Bus . The school district now has a large, new 54-passenger bus with a specially designed Car penter body on a Ford truck, ample insurance coverage, and a transportation program based upon . probable future expansion. Driver of the bus is Louie Fteitas, who also is building maintenance man at the school. The problem of suitable drinking water could not be solved through a budgetary redistribution, as was done in the case of the transportation program. The state was appealed to for aid in achieving a satis factory, water condition. This resulted in an allocation of $1,000 to drill another well, in the same area as the old sulphur . well. When 'it was drawn to the attention of the state engineers and planners that another well in the same area would conceivably result ' .y-m 1 Ji .

Grey, 8-18. in another well with water unfit for use, joo additional funds were made available for explorations or other means of supplying suitable water. Filtration Systems" Faced with the certainty ol another sulphur well, the board made a study of filtra tion systems, and ultimately engaged a prominent and rep utable firm to install a heavy duty plant at the school, with the stipulation that unless the . filtration system proved com pletely satisfactory, the manu facturer would remove it at no cost to the school district. A Permu-Tit Water Condi tioner was installed by E. C. Amidon and Son of Medford. The system has proven to be as good as the manufacturer claimed. For the first time in many years the water at Hornbrook school is palatable. Community Effort Considerable community ef fort and cooperation have gone into the solving of these problems, as well as the latest academic and scientific meth ods and means. On Sept. 11, an open house was held for the public, in order that those interested might see a progressively mo dern school. You're beautifully suited in IMPORTED 1698
