Smooth year holds few changes Athletic participation, 4-I-I absences and property signs were just a few of the subjects dealt with by this year's school board. According to past board president, Sue Cordes, 'KThere were many proposals, but few decisions were reached. Some proposed ideas were the removal of snow days and whether graduation requirements shouldbe raised. Dr. Roland Swanson finished his second successful year as principal claiming this year ran 'ta little more smoothlyi' than last year. According to Dr. Swanson this year's enrollment went up from 528 last year to 553 students this year, an increase of 25 students. Wedding bells rang last summer as vice-principal Ruth Larkin married Jim McCarthy, a native of the Boston area. The school board's decision on the absence policy for 4-H students gave 4-H'ers up to five days of excused absences in certain situations. Speaking on behalf of the teachers, Ms. Larkin stated that 4 percent ofthe students are absent each day, and pointed out the burden this puts on teachers. However, she added, the trips are educational and essential to some of the students. by Kris Heiden and Theresa Stephens If -5 ...K 5- Q lAboveJ School board members for 1981-82 lleft to right, front rowl: Mr. Gary Meradith, Dr. Steven Thomas and, standing, Dr. Harold Rosenau, Mrs. Sue Cordes and Dr. Richard Callahan.
