TALK OF THE TOWN The Talk of the Town was about Ness City Grade School and Ness City High School. There were three administrators, 44 certi- fied staff members, 16 uncertified staff members, and 336 students in USD 303. They were governed by a seven-member board of education. Again this year, shortage of space neces- sitated the grade school students and their teachers being crowded in their classrooms or being located in another building. The walls of the new elementary school building did not go up until February, 1988, and at the close of the school year, progress had been such that the occupancy date was projected to be August 27, 1988. the first day of the 1988-89 school year. The school year began with people be- coming acquainted with each other and adjusting to schedules and routines. Certain events during the year occurred to give everyone something to talk about. In Sep- tember the rebirth of the Eagle mascot was made by the junior high students. USD 303 celebrated the 200th birthday of the U.S. Constitution in December. A non-alcoholic after-prom party was a first for the juniors, seniors and guests in May. U.S.D. 303 Ness City Public Schools

Terry Karlin, Superintendent ADMINISTRATION With the regular agenda of events and decisions, the members of the U.S.D. 303 School Board have during a school year, they also had many decisions about the new building. On February 7, 1986 the Board of Education made the decision to evacuate the sixty-four year-old red brick building because of its unsafe structure. After many hours of planning and after the pas- sage of the bond issue, the old red brick building was demolished within two days. In August the construction crew started building. The projection date for completion is July, 1988, and the occupan- cy date is August. Superintendent Terry Karlin and the board members wanted an excellent facility. Students, staff, and patrons will greatly appreci- ate their efforts for years to come. Dr. Chet Ross resigned his position, having recently retired as pastor of the United Methodist Church.
