Resignation To
School Board
J. 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.
