One Year $ '00 Two Years $13 00 “...To Form A More Perfect Union...” For the carping critics of Amenca. for those who want to make our Bicentennial a truly meaningful celebration, and perhaps for those who have lost some of their enthusiasm for the great American dream. Editor John Slinkman of Washington. DC.. has some words of wisdom. Mr. Slinkman. incidentally, is Editor of the monthly magazine of the Reserve Officers Association of the United States. And in a recent message to his readers. Edttor Slinkman wrote this: "It is important to remember that the Constitutional Convention was made up of hard-headed men. fully aware that human beings are not perfect. Indeed, the whole document was designed to provide balances of power to insure against the perversion by power-seeking individuals of the governmental system it created. "Accordingly, they realistically wrote in the enacting clause (which, over the years, has come to be called "the preamble") that their objective was to form, not a 'perfect- union. but a more perfect' one." This distinction. Mr. Slinkman shrewdly observes, is vitally important as we. this year, celebrate our 200th anniversary; for the very simple reason that there is not. nor will there ever be. the "perfect" Union—because is not perfect. Our founding fathers, being wise men. were not under the illusion that anything less than perfection is intolerable. Today we have among us some very foolish persons who are demanding what they call "a second revolution" and are seeking to disrupt the Bicentennial celebration because, they bitterly complain, we have imperfections in our system! No nation in history has set for itself higher goals than the United States. And because our goals were great, our achievements have also been great. Thus we have enjoyed more blessings than any other people on earth. Perhaps we will never achieve all that our founding fathers hoped for this nation. But so long as we maintain and cherish that great American dream, and keep seeking to achieve greater things, we will continue to prosper accordingly. U. S. Press Association By W. L. McPartland Nyssa Seniors Spomor Potluck Nyssa Senior Citizens Club is sponsoring a Bicentennial Potluck.

The Jr. High will have its own Home Ec room. 1 believe that for the first time in Nyssa the facilities will provide a much better program for both the Jr. and Sr. High School because each school can operate inde pendently. The Music. Art and some Vocational programs will, because of our size, be coordinated and scheduled between the entire school system. 1 am looking forward to one of our finest school years. I want to thank patrons, students, teachers and par ticularly the School Board and Building Committee for the help given in turning a very difficult experience into a very successful two years. I believe you will be very pleased with the total school buildings when they are completed. Save a week from Sunday.

Superintendent's Corner This year’s budget pre sents some problems unique to a school two years after a fire. While last year's budget did include payment on the bonds for the new building, this year's budget does reflect some of the changes and improvements. Some of the heating and power costs are the best educated guesses possible, with no experience in opera tion of the plant. Approxi mately 120.000 sq. ft. of new space to heat, light, and maintain will replace class room space donated by the area churches. TVCC and the Chadwick building.
