RICHLAND SCHOOL BOARD
SELECTS NEW TEACHERS
Miss Myrtle Penn and Miss Viola Will.
ley Will Not Teach Again
Next Year

At the regular meeting of the school
board Saturday evening the resigna-
tons of Miss Myrtle Penn and Viola
Wiley were read and accepted. The
board then elected Miss Vera Foisy, OF
Prosser as teacher Of the third and
fourth grades and Miss Selah Evans,
a graduate of Cheney Normal, for the
fifth grade. Considerable discussion
arose over the principalship of the
high school and the meeting adjourn
ed without any teacher being chosen
for this position. However, at called
meeting later, F. A. Friermood, the
present incumbent, was elected for
another year.
c. S. Teachout was re-appointed to
the position Of janitor for the grade
school building and C. S. Gibbs at the
high school, as his bid was SIS cheaper
per month than the present janitor.
Mr.. Gibbs agreed to do the work for
$50 per month, while Mr.. Carstens'
bid was for his present salary, SIS.
The matter of cutting out one bus
route was taken up and it seemed fea-
sible so that those bidding on routes
/ and were given another chance to
bid on combination of the two routes.
j. H. Dunning, who has been driving
the Fruitvale bus got the contract for
another year with a raise in pay Of
SIS per month on account of the in
creased number of children the board
expects him to carry and the change
in his route made necessary in order
to pick up these pupils. D. D. Mann
was given bus route No. 4 at present
driven by Neil Nelson, who did not
apply for the position on account Of
ill health.
