"The birds are very clean", he noted. Teacher sick The hoard took no action on the complaints when Principal 11. L. Sturgis pointed out that agricultural teacher Ron Bo- gart had been sick for the past two weeks. "The boys go out and look after the stock as far as 1 know", he said, "but I don't suppose they're cleaning it out". "Whose duty was it," chair- man Larry Snider asked him, The principal reported that except for the students no one had been assigned to look after the barn in Bogart's absence. "It's one of those things that we never thought to look af- ter", he said, "His work wouldn't be 'neg- lected if he was at school", the principal stated, "He hasn't his exam papers marked yet either", he added, "but there PeAting- lie can• do about it and We realize that, and we plan to send out the reports without the agriculture marks". Before the board inspected the barn, Laird Mickle stated that Reynolds had a good point in drawing their attention to the conditions. "We should show the youngsters good prac- tice". he said. Several board 1,11 embers pointed out that the students could not be expected to clean out the barn when they did not come to school dressed for that type of work. Give salary raise The board received a letter from the staff reporting that the salary schedule had been accepted unanimously, except they asked for an increase of 5100.00 in the minimum of ca- tegory two. The board decided to comply with the request, raising the figure from $4,800.00 to $4,900- .00. Three teachers are affected by the increase. As the two workmen sat down for lunch, one unwrapped a package 15 inches long. "What's that?" asked his companion. "My wife's away so I baked myself a pie." "Kind of long isn't it?"
