Modoc County Festival
For Students Scheduled
ALTURAS. Modoc County's
unique and third annual academ
ic festival for elementary school
students will be conducted the
afternoon of March 17 at Veter
ans Memorial Building and Altur-
, -as Elementary School.
t The event has been planned to
include four major areas of study.
They are arithmetic, penmanship,
science and spelling.
The first festival was conduct
ed in the spring of 1959, as an
extension of the annual county
spelling bee. About 150 youngsters
participated then.
Last year's festival attracted
more than 300 youngsters, and
school authorities are hopeful of
a 'corresponding increase this
year.
The object is not to isolate and
elevate outstanding students, but
to Idcvelop general interest in and
elevate the status of academic
achievement, say educators. The
festival in no way will attempt to
rate or evaluate skills of the vari
ous teachers, they add.
Here are rules governing the
science fair:
Contestants each may enter
only one exhibit. Teachers and
sponsors may advise the students,
buj all work must be done by
the student.
Exhibits may be no larger than
2' feet front to back and four
fe'i't wide. Alternating 110-volt cur
rent will be provided, but gas and
running water will not. Battery-
operated circuits are acceptable
without restriction.
The spelling bee:
Each school may enter up to
two contestants and any elemen
laij school student may represent
his school. Word lists will be
made up of words in the state
series spelling books and words
from a word list compiled by the
county office staff and available
to schools for study.
Fifty words will be pronounced
to '.all contestants for the written
portion of the test. Twenty will
be: pronounced during the oral
test, Contestants will be scored
on; results of both and the con
testant with the highest overall
total, will be the winner.
In case of a tie, additional
words will be pronounced for oral
spellmg until the tie is broken.
Contestants during the oral test
wilt -not be allowed to write the
words before spelling them aloud.
The math match;
Students are eligible in the
tarns manner as spelling bee con-
f M
tcstants. The test will be entirely
written and will include addition
subtraction, multiplication and di
vision of whole numbers, fractions,
mixed numbers, decimals and per
centages.
The test will examine fundamen
tal knowledge more than siwed.
Thirty minutes will be allowed fori
completion of about 50 problems.
The order of finish, however, will
be noted as papers are turned
in. The earliest paper will win in
event of a tie.
The penmanship exhibit:
Each teacher may submit one
example of a student's work from
each level he or she supervises.
Any subject matter may be sub
mitted and the subject should lit

Profits Decline
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -Southern
Pacific today reported
consolidated net income for 19601
totaled $66,425,000, or $2.41 per
share of capital stock, as com
pared with 1959 earnings of $69,
750.000, or $2.57 per share.
President D. J. Russell said the
net income in 1960, without tax
referrals, would have been $1.95
per share as compared with $2.13
a share in 1959.
Russell said the drop in earn
ings resulted primarily from
smaller revenues as carloadings:
fell off after the first quarter of
1960, reflecting declines in gen
cral business and construction activity.
Advance Class
Is Arranged
McCLOUD John Pcracchino,
McC'loud Junior High School prin
cipal, said the eighth grade math
ematics class had been divided
into two groups in the local
school. Purpose of the division
was to place the more advanced
group in an advanced class and
to place the other .students in a
regular class.
The teachers have asked the
parents' cooperation in the proj
ect and are making plans for a
pare"'?' workshop session one
night a week for a four-week pe
riod. They will explain the eighth
grade program and better equip
the parents to understand what
they are trying to accomplish,
Peracchino said.
