Medford Contractor Only Bidder for Yreka Swim Center Yreka - A Medford con struction company was the only bidder on the Ringe Me morial Swim center at the Yreka city council meeting March 2. Mvers Jones Construction company submitted a bid of S109.800. The bid exceeds available funds by about $28,- 000. There is a possibility it could be reduced by $3,150 by eliminating alternates, , A balance of $81,309 re mains of Ringe funds. The land cost the . city $5,500. About $2,300 has been paid to Oscar Piemme in fees for preparatory work. Piemme had estimated the cost of con structlne the pool at $00,000 Councilman Harry Fried man said he was disappointed that there was only one bid der for the job. He said he and the r e c r e ation commission would not like to see any pool features eliminated. "The pool as designed is a minimum pool for the present size of Yreka and anticipated pool use," Friedman said. "T h e pool should be a place Yreka can be proud of and one be fitting the generous bequest to the city by Mrs, Ringe," ho added. Yardstick Piemme, city engineer and designer of the pool, said, "If there had been more bidders we would have some kind of yardstick to measure with. I'm not sure the bid we have is not out of line at all. Some bidders simply knew there the job done and that's why thev didn't bid," he said. Piemme recommended that the council wait 14 days for further study before accepting or rejecting the Medford bid. Councilman Ed Doyle suggest ed a bond issue to pick up the difference. Friedman said the reason for the lack of bids should be investigated to see if steps could be taken to remedy the situation. He also said the possibility of obtaining funds through governmental agen cies should be Investigated. One Yreka contractor said hn had Intended to bid but saw it couldn't be done with the money available. He indi cated other contractors In the area felt the same. The coun cil voted to postpone action until the March 16 meeting. A report on the city sales tax was presented and showed that, to date, the city has col lected $26,082. In other business, the coun cil heard a bid of $26,650 from Vernon Young, Yreka contractor, for installation of 29 street lights. The Interest rate would be 6V4 per cent, bringing the total cost of the installation to $24,952 on a seven-year basis, ihe agree ment would be a lease-pur chase type. City Attorney Joe Correla recommended delaying action until he determined if t h e matter had to be advertised for bids. The council voted to hold the light measure over wasn't enough money to get 'until the March 16 meeting.

A list of chairmen heading exhibits will be post ed soon at local stores. Infor mation may be obtained by calling UNion 9-2195 or UNion 9-2233. Mrs. Frank Boothby an nounced that the Prospect li brary would be open within a few days. This is the first per manent public library at Pros pect. Mrs. David Neville will be the librarian. The library is located next to the fire sta tion. . Mrs. Pat Goodman, presi dent, announced that, in ac cord with their program for school improvement, the PTA would purchase awards to be presented by the school to out standing students in various achievements. These awards will be given ' during open house in April. Roscoe Larson, superinten dent, gave a summary of the problems facing the high school in raising the achieve ment level. He stressed that according to the Conant re port, one hour of homework each night is necessary for seventh and eighth grade stu dents and two hours for high school students. He asked that parents cooperate in seeing that students have a quiet place to concentrate. He stated that the attendance record was showing an 8 per cent lag and asked that parents co operate in bringing this up. Members voted that the nominating committee for 1961 officers be Mrs. Charles Denney, Mrs. Duane Payne and Mrs. Hazel Gardner, chairman. Marc Smith, principal o the grade school, suggested that the PTA write a letter to Stanford Hansell, slate senate ways and means chairman, urging the passage of the Zieg- ler-Hoyt bill, calling for a raise in the per census child fee from $105 to $130. The Prospect schools would bene fit financially from its pas sage. The members voted that this letter be sent. Mrs. Carol Drake, chair man for Founders Day, in troduced guest speakers. The first speaker was Mrs. Frances Pearson, who was a student, teacher, and later a PTA pres ident in the Prospect school system. She mentioned that 100 years ago only a few Indian families lived at Prospect, but that about 1870 the first homesteaders entered the re gion. Among these homestead ers was Chauncey Nye, whose wife, Amarantha Nye, had been a former teacher In the Roseburg district. She ran the first schoolhouse as a free community service. The schoolhouse is gone now but the name Schoolmarm creek is still used to designate the creek which ran by the school. The first organized school dis trict was started by Squire Stanford Aiken in 1889. Lum ber, labor and land for the school were donated by A. H. Boothby. The school was built on the present site of the Prospect schools. It was called Dcskin school, but on Nov. 9, 1889, the little hamlet of Des- kin changed Its name to Pros pect and the school was i known as the Prospect school. This school was open from July to October. At the begin ning, there were often as many as 16 children in at tendance. Within a few years the .population fell off and often a teacher was hired who came from a large family of little brothers and sisters who would bring them with her to swell the attendance to the necessary four to six level re quired to keep it open. These first teachers received $20 to $25 a month and did their own janitor work. The heat for the building came from a cast-iron stove. According to present ideals, some of these teachers would be con sidered sub-standard. Often they had not completed high school. In 1910 the school term was extended to six months and the teachers' salaries were ad vanced to $40 a month. At that time a modern school was built consisting of one large room that could be converted into two by pulling some fold ing doors. Heston Grieve, a member of the first class to graduate from high school, continued the history. He told of the year he and all the members of the eighth grades of Jack son county participated in a mass graduation on the old Chautauqua stage in Lithia park.' He entered Prospect High school by pulling the folding door and moving to the other side of the room. In contrast to the present championship basketball team the five boys who composed the entire high school student body learned their basketball out of a book with the aid of a woman teacher. Along with two substitutes from the seventh and eighth grades, they had to practice on a dirt floor court 20 by 30 feet. Needless to say their first year in competition resulted in a last place finish. In 1926, they finished second in the league. 4-H Guide Dog Club Program To Be Held Applegate Valley - With a view to forming a 4-H guide dog club in the Applegate area, Clarence Phaffenburger, member of board of directors of Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. of San Rafael, Calif., will meet with parents and chil dren at the Ruch school Tues day, March 7, at 7:30 p.m. Phaffenburger will present dogs now in training at the Siskiyou Guide Dog club at Ashland, according to Mrs. Darrel Mitchell, who trains dogs for the Ashland club.
