One Year S '00 Two Years SI3 00 The tong months of speculation and planning are over. and the school board has awarded final contracts far the reconstruction of our schools. Now we can watch the buildings take shape secure m the knowledge that we wWI have e tee lent facilities to replace those fast almost two years ago n the June 5. 1974 fire. The high school classroom building wil soon be finished, perhaps before the end of this school year Footings for the gymnasium auditorium are bemg poured, startmg today And no« contracts have been awarded for the eiementarv multi purpose room and cafeteria. We have mentioned tt before, but we don't th mi enough apprecmoon can be given to those individuals who have sorted so tong and so hard » provide these facilities Meeting almost every week, and sometimes more often, these past two years has been a time-consnmuig effort of true dedkanoa. The yob was so large because these people were n t charged • th the responsibility of replacing fust one building but »th the job of planning for replacement of almost the entire school system. That the job has been frustrating at times goes without saying Site planning, prehmmary estimates, and approval of a bond issue all took tune Then before plans could be drawn and bids opened, inflation had taken its toll and actual costs were higher than estimated Compromises have been made, plans changed, and options ehmmated Out of a all. though, have come dense ns that are right, and we wdl have a school faculty second to none in our area. We would like to name the people responsible for these decBons. They are the ones who have put tn the tong hours, and it is impossible in news stones to give each of them the recognition that they deserve School board members are Mark Hartley. Gene Stunz. Vic Habwchak. Bill Schilling. Gerald Stmantel. Don Bullard. Keith Langley and Don Engstrom Budget Board members are Don Dtrksen Vai Garner. Richard Mejia. Joel Mitchell Fame I Peterson. Harvev Wiroot and Duane DrvdaJe Building Commatee members are Dick Tensen. Bob Wilson. Arieigh Adams. Janetta Gamer Marge Jackson. Woodrow Sewell and Cy Bock These are the people who. tn addition to Superintendent W L McPartiand. and Principals Gene Chester. Dan Mann and Mel Munn, are responsible for a dedicated and excellent job. They deserve our thanks and appreciation.

Nipsa. Niece-a and even Noose-a have graced each of our ears at least once I was delighted at the posntve response I received from that article. In fact. I was so-o-o-o- encouraged, that on a recent trip to Port Townsend. Washington. I decided to uncover every mis-pronouncution of Nyssa, no matter where they might occur, no matter where the chips might fall Stupid me I started on the wrong person. “Wei." said my Grand father. “How do vou like Niece-a*" “AHA!!?" I was very quick "111 have you know it's not niece-a. it's Nvssa'" Oh . Well. I'm sorry to see you so upset. Jan I apologue for making the mistake How is Nyssa, then*“ ■'Apologies do not undo the wrong done the town's name and honor ” I was really crusading. "Please never say it wrong again And. it's fine ” Now. Grandfather is a delightful person Not only had I been rude to him. I had also forgotten he b just that much quicker than mvself tn the was department I should have suspected something Feeling a bit admonished we continued on. and be. had me try to pronounce some more river» the Hamma Ham ma the Duckabush. the Lilrwaup the Skookum and Skockumchuck. the Wafts ncka. the Potinch, the Boga- sfoeL the town of Pvsht. and finally, the WuWentxlam "Gee whiz. Grandpa.” after we'd started back home. "I'm sorry about jumping you the other day And I'm also sorry about butchering these names al LOW WEIGHT STAKING TODAY ong the way today. ." "Apologies will never an do the wrong done Ihn? communities and bodies of water! ' he responded. "Pl ease never say them wrong again!" And then, after a year-tong pause. “By the way. it's o k." So I said a few names wrong.. Gee whu' How picky can vou get’ when we went for a nde the next day Somewhere along the Hood's Canal. Grandpa pointed out a rivers name on * ‘«n “How d you like to go over there and fish a while?" "The. ah. urn er...ah. the Dupsvwalltps* L'mmm.
