Page 2 October, 1964 Where Does Our Money Go? Many students seem to gripe about this matter because no one seems to know where our money really goes. As you read on maybe you'll wonder how our school runs on the money we give it. Is it really enough? The total income of BCHS, according to the 1963-64 account, was $113,263.52. Where did this money come from? Your answer - high school tuition brought in a total of $59,524.60. Subject fees, for such departments as typing, science, and business, brought in a total of $9,119.45. Extraordinary income gifts and donations. Home and School association, Music Guild chocolate sale and miscellaneous brought in a total of $8,924.26. Our total expenditures were $116,862.29. Expenditures for group insurance and salaries totaled $72,543.51. As you look at this figure, stop and appreciate the teachers we have who give their best regardless of the low range of salary they receive, and then be thankful we have them. Other 1963-64 expenditures were as follows; Fuel $6,984.12 Office Supplies $905.68 Utilities 5,151.58 Instructional Exp. 2,289.94 Repairs 2,376.71 Chapel 129.02 Maintenance Ser. 825.25 Telephone 750.31 Maintenance Sup. 2,784.01 Miscellaneous 206.81 Equipment 8,818.49 Spec. Subject Equip. Equipment 7,331.28 Insurance 1,403.12 Defict from Revol- ving funds 900.25 Extraordinary expenditures were: Garage Rental 120.00 Debt Service 1,850.00 Not included in the above is Home and School operations, $3,848.89; Music Guild operations, $3,062.34; and the Athletic association operations, $7,500.92. In other words these figures are the total income of each of the associations. What they gave the school was listed as such. The rest was used for depart- mental or special purposes. By simply looking at the income and expenditures one can tell we don't waste our money. It is used for what is needed in a practical way.

S. on November 3, 1964. There are several basic reasons for this. The fundamental block of his power lies in the fact that Mr. Johnson does not create undue public attention as does Senator Goldwater every time he voices his opinion. He seems rather to have built up an arsenal of esteem in the minds of 100 million voters with his numerous talents and achievements. In this manner, whatever he does or orders, the people feel right in their president's de- cisions. There are other major insrances where the people will favor L.B.J. in November. Probably the one of continual prosperity looms as the domestic issue where Goldwater cannot wage an attack on the Democratic administration. In the field of business-labor, the majority of the national labor barons are afraid and are quite anti-Goldwater and express contentment with Lyndon. Goldwater continually strikes at Johnson's so-called cutback in military strength, but he has yet to prove his accusations. And he will not, because there is no expla- nation for this in the light of increased U.S. successes and production in mechanized weapons. Mr. Goldwater spoke to an audience in Charleston, West Virginia, on Johnson's war on poverty as a phony, vote- getting gimmick and a raid on your pocketbooks. West Virginia, incidentally, is one of the most depressed areas in America. Shades of Barry's speaking again - wrong speech, wrong place. And in the most important nuclear conflict, one that is slowly detracting even Goldwater's staunchest followers, the senator states firmly: area commanders should have the authority to decide on the use of nuclear weapons. Presi- dent Johnson conversely stresses responsibility and re- straint in these matters. Simply, then, the question boils down to this: would you rather have a man, dangerously inexperienced, of most uncertain discretion, on the nuclear ponic button - or would you have Lyndon Baines Johnson? I certainly would support President Johnson. Continuing, I shall again vote for Lyndon in the field of Thanks! c° ‘- “ A note of thanks goes to the faculty members who unselfishly gave up their time to chaperon our school dances.
