cocktail party down to the
minutest detail, and in
absolute good taste, and

arranged by Nancy
RobersonandMissie Harrell.

cessful mini-auction was
made possible by lots of
people: Tom Philips and
Marcia Clare cajoled 29
items out of businesses and
private citizens for which
we had a marvellous time
shouting out our bids...made
some money, incidently,

Not only did Norma
Dirom help line people up to
see the appraisers at the
cocktail party, she did two
TV interviews out-of

in the mornings. She also
organized and ran the
concession stand outside the

people could eat and still get
their heirlooms appraised...
not to mention helping with
the invitations to the Friday
night and Saturday events.
The invitation committee
was headed by Anne Ellis,
from design to mailing,
which was a mammoth
undertaking. She was
assisted by Majorie

Setting up the Armory fell
to Peggy Anne Vaughan who
also found 30 volunteers to
help throughout the day.
These same volunteers
helped address flyers to 8000
people.
Publicity was coordinated
by Anne Schenck who had
lots of good people talking
on the radio, being in
terviewed on TV, and ad
dressing letters to
newspapers within a 250-

Marcia Crandall as co

FARM ROAD CROSSING Waldo Winslow, contractor,
is shown directing the construction of a farm road crossing
on the Bear Swamp Watershed main channel. As illustrated,
sand-cement bags are being placed around both up and
downstream ends of the corrugated metal pipe culverts. The
area over the pipes are backfilled to create the crossings for
farm access. This is one of 19 similar structures that are a
part of the Watershed Project. According to Elton
Askew, construction inspector with the Soil Conservation
Service, approximately 62 per cent of the planned works of
improvement are complete. This includes excavation on the
main channel and five of the thirteen lateral ditches. At the
present, there is no excavation or channel work being done
due to environmental concerns. This was a scheduled stop
during April and May so as to minimize harm to spawning
fish in the canals.
the form of resolutions
during an annual business
meeting.
The first resolution asks
the General Assembly to
require that students in
private schools pass the
high school competency test
in order to qualify for a high
school diploma. Current law
requiring public school
students to pass the test is
vague where private schools
are concerned.
The second resolution
asks the Vocational Division
of the State Department of
Public Instruction to relax
its rigid guidelines,
especially as they pertain to
the new Scope and
Sequence, so that local
Boards of Education and
school officials can im
plement the kinds of
programs which they deem
best for their students.
The third resolution asks
all educators to “make
every reasonable effort to
protect the instructional
time of the school day” from
non-instructional activities.
Os particular concern to
principals is the increasing
number of activities that are
being scheduled during the
school day both locally and
from some areas of the State
Department of Public In
struction.
