W. Bushong, who since the starting of the new Nyssa high school last fall, has held the post tlon of principal, Tuesday night handed his resignation to the Union High school board. The resignation will take effect at the end of the present school year. Bushong said that he had been approached by the high school board of Bend, Ore., and had ac cepted the prlncipalship offered there. The school is a Junior and senior school, having an approxi mated 850 students. Th school board accepted the re signation. The board has no one under consideration, one member of the board said. The board also contracted to buy another school bus body, bringing the total number owned by the dis trict to three. This was deemed nec essary due to the increase in stu dents since the start of the school year.
