Three New Teachers Hired for
Santiam Union High School;
Schedule Changes Are Planned
According to word received from
James B. Putman, principal of the
Santiam Union High school in Mill
City, plans to open school on the 3rd
of September were approved by the
district board at their meeting Thus-
day night.
The board gave their final approv­
al of the new high school plans
which were presented by Benjamin
F. Cave, architect of Salem. The
board also authorized the advertising
for bids for the new building, the date
set for opening the bids beirg Friday,
September 6 at 8 o’clock in the high
school library. Interested contractors
are to contact Mr. Cave at his office
in Salem for copies of the plans
specifications.
Three new tea hers will be on hand
this fall to greet the students of
Santiam Union high school. The
teachers and the subjects »hey will
teach, according to a tentative sched-
| ule, are: Gleason Eakin, a recent
graduate of OCE at Monmouth will
teach Eaglish III, World History,
and Boys’ P. E. and Health. He will
also be head football and baseball
coach. Mr. Eaken’s wife, Mrs. Jo Ann
Eakin, will teach Arts and Crafts,
Girls P. E. and Health, and, possibly.
Biology. The other new member of
jthe staff is Miss Helen Park, a re-
I cent graduate of Linfield college at
McMinnville. Miss Park will teach
1 English I, Chorus, and Girls’ Guid­
ance. It is hoped that the music
program can be expanded to include
both boys and girls specialty groups
and mixed group work. Miss Park’s
major area of preparation is in music.
She will probably assist in the dra­
matics program also.
Several changes have been made in
the teaching assignments for the
other members of the staff who have
been here previously. These people
and their assignments are as fol-
lows: Burton Boroughs will be
teaching World Geography and Orb
entation. Senior Problems, U. S. Ilis-
tory, and Boys' Guidance. Mr. Bor-
oughs will also be Athletic Director
with coaching duties of head Basket­
ball coach and assistant Football
coach. W. B. “Bill” Hoeye will be
teaching Shop II, HI, IV, and a
leadership class for those who are
leaders and those who are interested
in being leaders. Mr. Hoeye will also
be Student Finance Office and Audio-
Visual Coordinator for the high
school staff. William “Bill” Ingram
