Enrolment Up
At High School; PTA To Meet First
Grades Increase Meet September 10
School was under way at Santiam
Union High Tuesday with a first day
enrollment of 127 students. On hand
for the first day were 32 freshmen,
26 sophomores, 26 juniors, and 43
seniors. Supt. Putman stated he an­
ticipated ?n additional enrollment of
18 students.
Due to the recent change in re­
quirements making it necessary for
students to have two years of math
and two years of science in order to
graduate from high school, classes in
general science, biology, physics, gen­
eral math, algebra I and II, and
geometry were crowded, while some
of the elective courses had a light
enrollment.
Students at high school had mixed
feeling* over the new time schedule
calling for school to start 10 minutes
earlier in the morning and provid-
ng for a half hour activity period
from 11:45 to 12:15. which allows just
30 minutes for a lunch period. The
purpose of the activity period is to
reduce the number of times it was
neccesary to interrupt classes, to pro­
vide time for class meetings, student
body meetings, club meetings, and
assembly periods.
The activities for the day included
opportunity for the students and
teachers to meet each other in a gen­
eral assembly held the first thing in
the morning. A series of announce­
ments by faculty members, a regis­
tration period, and just before noon,
a 10 minute class schedule. Students
were dismissed at noon Tuesday so
necessary
teachers could complete
arrangements for regular class work
to begin Wednesday.

To Be Used to Train Drivers Here
Driver Education
Training Is Now
Available Here
This fall Santiam Union high
school students will have the oppor-
tunity to partake in the driver edu-
cation training program offered in
the state. This fall the state of Ore­
gon will begin giving financial as­
sistance to Oregon high school driv­
er education. Standards will call for
a minimum of 30 hours of classroom
instruction given during one semes­
ter to be supplemented by six hours
of behind-the-wheel practice driving
in the dual control car.
This summer Gleason Eakin of
Santiam High faculty was one of
instructors given schooling in
driver-teaching course. There were
five of these teacher preparatory
courses held this summer.
It has been proven that drivers
who have completed driver education
courses in school have 50 percent less
accidents that those who do not take
the course.
Supt. Putman stated Saturday the
course will be given to sophomores
and all upper classmen, who can ar­
range their schedules to enable them
to participate. One advantage of the
course s a lower rate of car insur­
ance for those who complete the driv­
er training course.
