How- ever. that vote was merely to maintain the status quo in school finance, with no provision for mtcting the mounting costs of inmcrials and increasuig the salaries mi teachers and other employees. We are operating 21! zt disadvantage in comparison with many other districts because we are not able to meet the sa'ary increments for which provision was made in a. Salary schedule worked out under State supervision midadopted less than two years ago. That the problem must he attacktd and solved in the near future is clearly indicated by the following paragraph- .The United States will need 100000 new elementarv tench- ers each year for the next ten years. Only 20,000 were pre. pared by the training schoals in 1948. Unless there is a much great- er response tothe call for teeth ers. our countrv will face a shameful crisis in the neat:- fu- ture. I say shameful because it is a situation that can be cor- rected by making the profes- sion more attractive to capable young people. Salaries must be increased and teaching condi- tions in general improved. The apathetic attitude of many cit- izens is sadly indicated by the fact that in last weekts election almost thirty per cent of the voteis cast negative ballots on the renewal of the 6-mill levy. They would rather see the schools closed than vrovide the means for keeping them open. Even though they do not have children or do not care for those they have. thev should realize that the survival of de. mccracy depends upon good schools. .As we approach the close of the football season. we feel that many commendable things may be deservedly said about the various groups and individ- uals that contributed 30 large- ly to a successful seasun. True, we did not win the pennant, but we kept the flies off the folks who did. You know what 1 mean. Only one team in the league can win first place. and that would not be worth the effort if the other six teams did not do their best. Our players and coaches put forth heroic effort and in the main were loyally supported by the community. Mistakes were made at times but. they were errors in judg- ment and not of intent. Our sincere congratulations go to the squad, the Coaches, the Managers, Announcers, Score Board Crew, Field At sistants, Custodians, Snack 506131 56191109 6135-3 Shack Operators, Mr. Behrendt and his staff of writers and re- porters, the Faculty Business Manager. the Cheerleaders, Ticket-sellers, and all others Group activities which will be in session include: 1'.

6W 7a 4mm .The boys of the Freshman football team have hung up their armor fur the winter and are turning to other pursuits in the sports field. Although they fell short of their main objective, thvy had a very suc- cessful season and a lot of good. wholesome fun. Much credit is due their volunteer roaches, Dick Ileura and Eddie Juskela. Unfortunately, the high school teaching staff was shurt on men who Could takp over the reaching of the Freshmen and it luuked fur a while as thnuuh the boys would have to shift for themselves. Then the light bruke through and Dick and Ed- dip.came to the rescue. Tn their loyalty, generosity, and g'iod sportsmanship is due the fine training rules that are so essential in varsity playing. These vounz coaches may have beun disappointed that their team did not win more games, but they will find real satisfac- tion when the results of their work show up in varsity teams a year or two later. We congratulate the Fresh- men on their diligence and hard work. The fact that some nf their opponents haw. been us- ing Gillette Blue Blades for a year or two and Hpack an unA usual poundage made the going a littla hard at times. Well, that is just one of those little things that happen in a world like ours.
