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.'

Noisy, Uninhibited Grey Cup
Day Climaxes Football Season
By DON ROBINSON
Regina, Saskatchewan, Can
ada Canada may occupy a
place in the mind ef the aver
age work-eat-watch TV and
sleep American as a place
vast, full of snow, but not
very exciting.
- The poor man of such a
mind cannot be blamed for his
meager impression. 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.
