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.

The beginning of school
saw much activity and ex
citement during first week.
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-

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

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

students. When it's completed
a new driving policy will be
given the students who drive
to school which must be sign

Hornbrook Grade School Opens
With Completely New Plant
By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Hornbrook When Horn
brook grammar school chil
dren returned to school early
this month it was to a com
pletely new plant.
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

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
