Josephine School Board Recommends
Construction Totaling $1,616,300
Grants Pass A total of $1,
616,300 must be raised by a
bond issue if building needs
of the Josephine County Unit
School district are to be
adequately taken care of.
This figure does not include
legal fees, estimated at about
$8,000, or complete archi
tect's fees.
Included in the total figure
is construction of two Junior
high schools, one In the south
ern part of the county, to
handle seventh, eighth, and
ninth graders from Williams,
Murphy, Jerome Prairie,
Wlldervllle, Selma and Fruit
dale elementary schools. A
second one to be built in the
northern part of the county,
would include pupils from
Oak Grove, Merlin, Hugo,
Wolf Creek, Sunny Valley
and Fort Vanney. In addition,
since the Junior high enroll
ment in this portion of the
county is not as large ss that
in the southern portion, there
would be included In this
building, rooms for mentally
retarded children which the
county, by state order, must
include in its school system.
Also included would be sev
eral elementary grades from
the Merlin area making it un
necessary to add classrooms
to that school. It was felt that
this plan for the addtlonal
Junior high in the northern
part of the county would best
take care of future building
needs in that area, as well as
provide for children the ad
vantages of the Junior high
system available to students
In the southern section ot the
county.
In accordance with instruc
tions given at the previous
board meeting, school board
members reported at Monday
night's meeting on the indi
vidual building needs of
schools in their areas, both,
from an Immediate standpoint
as well as probable ones in
the future. In such a manner,
an attempt will be made to
handle, in one bond issue, such
needs as appear most likely
to develop rather than to be
forced to present a second
bond issue to the voters in
the not too distant future.
In addition to regular board
members attending, Jack Ed
son, architect from Medford,
was present to answer the
questions concerning improve
ments needed in the form of
additions to several schools,
as well as to give necessary
estimates of tosts In connec
tion with the two junior high
schools.
At several schools in the
county inadequate shower fa
cilities for students taking
physical education must be
remodeled. Money originally
allotted for the projects in

Central Point schools had '76

Harry L. Meyers has been
Central Point's own "music
man".
Although Meyers devoted
the years 1938-42 to Phoenix
and Talent schools as well as
Central Point, growth of the
Central Point band was great
during that time. Teaching
chorus, orchestra and band in
the beginning, Meyers de
veloped a practically non
existent music department
into a major cog in the educa
tional machinery of Central
Point schools.
Meyers came well qualified
for his Job, leaving the ranks
of professional performing
musicians because he felt
the musical education of our
youth to be more important.
He began his career in music
in his birthplace, Amster
dam, Holland, studying at the
Music Conservatory in The
Hague and in Germany be
fore coming to America in
1916. After serving In the
U.S. Army during World War
I. he became a U.S. citizen,
settling In the midwest. In
1923 he married Martha Hoff
man at Minneapolis, Minn,
Their daughter, Mrs. J.
Lynch, resides with her fam
ily in Medford.
Although he played for the
Seattle symphony orchestra
and with several traveling
groups In the United States
and Canada, Meyers is proud
est of the fact he was consid
ered good "pit" musician,
which requires the ability to
play any piece ot music put
on the stand without having
i it before, and play it

the trumpet and string bass,
he plays every Instrument.
Mew Band
. Every year Meyers starts a
new Dana, giving me rac-
Crerry musical aptitude test
to fifth grade students. There
are 48 beginners this . year,
while the sixth grade band
has SO pieces. Entering the
seventh grade . students be
come members of the Junior

ment, as well as their daily
band class. Members ,of the
Junior high band are also
eligible for the pep Dana,
which has 30 members, and
plays for assemblies, athletic
events and other special occasions.
The last 12 years the junior
high band has attended the
Southern Oregon Music con
test, and received a one
rating. Three concerts are
presented annually, at Christ
mas, at the schools open house
and a spring concert, Jfiacn
year the band entertains at
Hawthorne park in Medford
for the presentation ot awards
for the Pear Blossom festival.
Writes Songs
In addition to his teaching,
Meyers has found time to
write words and music for
several songs, including
operetta, write arrangements
for different instruments, and
until recently, repaired and
rebuilt the instruments of all
the schools in southern Ore
gon and northern California
His entry in the 1960 Centen
nial song competition, "Ore
gon Waltz", won second prize
and was published. Another
unusual accomplishment It
not having missed a day ol
school in his 23 years at Cen
tral Point.
Though Meyers is now eli
gible for a well deserved re
tirement, he has been asked
by many parents and school
offlcals to stay at least
another year.

at Frultdale, Murphy, Hugo
and Kerby.
The bond issue will Include
money for a gymnasium at
Merlin and at Fort Vannoy,
where a physical education
program has been carried on
with difficulty for the past
years due to lack of facilities.
Jerome Prairie, in addition to
shower rooms which it does
not have at all, needs a new
kitchen. Its present one is In
adequate for preparation of
meals for almost 400 children.
Even with the seventh and
eighth grade students being
removed from Frultdale and
sent to a county Junior high,
two classrooms will be needed
there In the near future since
children now attending Dis
trict 7 on a tuition basis
would be sent to Frultdale un
der the new plan. Addition
of these rooms will necessitate
addition of auxiliary heating
systems. The system now in
the school is at its limit for
circulation of heat. Also mon
ey is being tentatively allot
ted to this area to attempt to
purchase more land to extend
the school grounds. The acre
age there is short of state re
quirements which require five
acres for 100 children and
one acre for each additional
100. At Williams the cafeteria
and two olassrooms are to be
remodeled and repaired and
the gym completed. Edson
recommended that insulation
be installed along -with the
ceilings of all gyms.. This
would provide a tremendous
saving In fuel costs, he said.
At Selma, where one of
four classrooms has been used
as an office, enrollment has
increased so that this room
will have to be used as a
classroom in the very near
future. It will be necessary to
build an office and a more
adequate health room.
At Illinois Valley High
school, there is a need for
two more classrooms, due to
increased enrollment. One of
the rooms will be a science
room. The gymnasium needs
to be completed and further
equipped with seating facili
ties, and plans for a field
house which will have the
necessary equipment and fa
cilities for athletic events
have been approved. Also,
the board followed the sug
gestion of the budget com
mittee and- has included
$2,500 for a tractor for the
FFA group at Illinois Valley
to be used lor teaching pur
poses.
It was decided to ask the
law firm of Balderee and
Calvert, of Grants Pass, to
handle the legal matters in
connection with the bond Is
sue. To further clarify, exact
expenses and make any sug
gestions in line with efficient
building, the board requested
Edson to accompany Elmer
Fleming, superintendent, to
some of the schools mentioned.
The Issue will be discussed
further at the board's next
regular meeting, June 12.
