10 MAIL TRIBUNf, Medford, Or: Sunday, Dec. 13, 19S9 Board Considers Financing of School Addition Phoenix Premliminary planning and financing of a new high school addition is being considered by the Phoe nix school board, Supt. Ernest R. James said Friday. "A recent survey by school officials and consultation with the state department of educa tion indicates a need for six more classrooms and added office space next year' to handle the additional 130 students of the Talent High school resulting from the rec ent consolidation," James ex plained. "These students are to be come a part of the consolidat ed 4-year high school at Phoe nix in the fall -of 1960. Esti mated high school enrollment for next year 'is about 340 students." Four Classrooms The suggested plan calls for construction of four new class rooms and remodeling of oth er rooms to provide two more classrooms,; James said. ' '. Two rooms originally plan ned for teacher restrooms, which have been used as class room and office space, will be converted to their original purpose. Replacement office space will be added. Facilities will be retained for music and band instruction and for audio-visual instruction. ' " Present heating facilities are now operating at capacity so additional facilities . are needed to take care of any fu ture addition, James added. . The proposed building pro gram includes some remodel ing -and alteration at Talent to improve gym dressing room facilities and to adapt present high school rooms there for Junior high school use for the district. ' Housed ia Talent . ; The seventh and eighth graders of the district will be housed in the Talent building under a junior high organiza tion, - the superintendent ex plained. This would allow Phoenix and Talent grade schools containing grades 1 to 6 to absorb normal future growth without new additions. These are tentative plans, James said. The building program would be financed by a $100, 000 bond issue, according to preliminary estimates, James said. Bonds would be paid off over a 9-year period. By shortening the pay-off period, the district would save be-s tween $33,000 and $40,000 in interest charges. When paid ff over a 5-year term, the an nual bond and interest pay ments would not exceed the amount carried annually in the past Phoenix budgets on a pay-as-you-go basis. The building program would not cause any rise in the dis trict's tax mlllage, James emphasized.' "Even after passage of such a ; bond issue the Phoenix school district will still have a considerably smaller amount' of outstanding bonded indebt edness than any other first class district in Jackson coun ty," James said.' 4 ! ii4F"""mm .., inn 'ItMWWJI " HI, k.' .

But the dull view of Canada would not hold up on Grey Cup day. The Grey Cup is an actual silver vessel given each year to the winner of the. national professional football ; cham pionship battle. Cup a Symbol But it is much more. It is a symbol of Canada's wildest moment. There are not a whole lot of people in this country - some thing over 17,000,000 now - but a sturdy 95 per cent of those over six years, of age, man or housewife, grocery clerk or corporation presi dent, know few inhibitions on Grey Cup day. There are eight profession al football teams in Canada playing out of the larger cities from Vancouver to Toronto, in two leagues of four teams each. To the chagrin of loyal Ca nadians most of the players are U.S. imports but fans don't think about that. The game's the thing. Season Climax The Grey Cup is the climax of the season. Here the lead ing team from the West meets the champion of the East. The scene alternates annually be tween Vancouver and Toron to. This year it was. in Toronto. 'As western fans poured into the . nation's second largest city, the Toronto Telegram expressed the feelings of local people in a headline in four inch type: "HELP!" On the afternoon of the Saturday after the United States' Thanksgiving day, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers rack ed the powerful Hamilton Ti ger Cats 21 to 7. A great day for the West! Last year we happened to be in Vancouver the day of the 1958 Grey Cup game. Newspapers and television and radio were full of it . . . there was a parade . . . and a beauty queen was chosen. Ov er the news we heard that railroad cars coming across the Rockies from the cattle and oil center of Calgary were unhitched by exhuberant fans, that emergency cords were pulled indiscriminately, and that the trains were 5 Vahours late and lucky to survive at all. Crowds Mill The evening after the game we were eating dinner in a downtown restaurant. Crowds in various- stages of intoxica tion milled the streets out side. Hotel lobbies were bar ren of furniture or carpets as a precaution. One pie-eyed, fan from Cal gary stomped into our res taurant and yelled that Cal gary had the best men, the prettiest women and the fierc est dogs in the country. He proceeded to inquire of. two women at the counter wheth er they were married - he was and had seven kids, but a little fun never hurt, as he seriously explained. Now this was a respectable restaurant. But to the drunk en interloper the waitresses served soup and the .patrons gave smiles. Brotherly love had been granted extraordi nary power through the ques tionably holy medium of the biggest football game in North America. That's The Way It Is That's the way it is every Grey Cup day. On the other 364 days of the year, the av erage American's conception of Canada would not be far from wrong. There is an abun dance of quietness around here, if you like it, and stodg iness, if you don't. But Grey Cup day - well, it's one thing that has no equal in America, and Ameri ca could not duplicate it with all the powers of General Mo tors arid Madison Avenue combined.
