COOLIDGE HIGH SCHOOL GETS
UNDER FULL STEAM AHEAD
few OBSTACLES ENCOUNTERED AT OUTSET
IRONED OUT, TEMPORARILY DELAYING
PROGRESS, BUT ACTION STARTS ANEW

Plans for the organization
Of a new high school in this
district took on new life
with vigor Monday when
Superintendent John j.
Bugg posted necessary noti-
for that purpose.
II will be remembered
that an election for this pur-
pose was held April p in
the Coolidge. kenilworth
and Mcdowell districts.
which carried overwhelming
~. On May 4th an election
was held in these districts 20
determine the site on which
the new high school build
ing would be located. In
this election the kenworthy
site OF twenty acres In West
Coolidge was chosen. Then
everything was IN readi-
ness for the appointment Of
temporary trustees and the
calling for the bond election.
Though the kenilworth
district is most friendly 20
the Coolidge district, they
reasoned that on account of
the rate Of taxes added 10
their already heavy burden
il would be 10 their interest
20 remain in the Florence
high school district. Here
the situation became COM
plicated. Plans for dissolu-
ton were discussed by both
districts whereby this could
be done 20 preserve har-
mony among neighbors and
serve convenience. IL was
realized that new high
school district had been
legally created and il was not
within the power of either
or both TO set it aside. After
legal advice and research 1t
was found necessary TO bring
some technicality in a friend
ly suit before the court in
order 10 attain the desired
end. Accordingly Superinten-
dent Bugg appointed a board
10 constitute a business
head 20 accept this service.
This was done and the mat
ter settled as was desired.
Then additional territory
was added to the Coolidge
district to replace the kenil-
worth district.
IL was then necessary 10
start over as though nothing
had been done. New petit
tions for the organization Of
were circulated at once and,
having secured the required
signatures, were presented to
Mr.. Bugg who at once called
an election 10 be held on
June 7th 20 vote on the or
ganization of a new high
school district for the dis
tricts of Coolidge and Nc
Dowell. making a new start.
The plans call for using
PWA funds which has been
approved by the planning
board. When the project
first started the district was
required To repay seventy
per cent, with four per cent
interest, to the government,
which has been changed
since that time; now re-
quiring the repayment OF
only fifty-five per cent with
three per cent interest,
which is quite an advantage
TO be taken into considera-
ton and will mean much in
the $4,000 building pro-
iacf MANNED.

COOLIDGE CAMP FIRE.
GIRLS ENJOY OUTING.
INTERESTING TRIP is
MADE TO GRANITE
DELLS CAMP

ne IOlloWlnR leCter from
Mrs. Eisenhart who acomp-
anied a bunch of merry
Coolidge girls on d few days
outing best tells the story of
the trip:
To The Editor:
1t is my pleasure to write
about the girl Camp Fire
trip taken to Granite Dells,
near Prescott, last week.
First of all | want to say
to each mother that there
never was a smarter bunch
of girls any place than right
here in Coolidge. Their
spirit of love and coopera-
ton can well be a lesson to
us who are adults. While /
have known most of these
girls since they entered
school here, / have known
them only as a teacher
knows her pupils, but on
this trip | went as a pal and
friend. | value my experie-
nee very much. To me it
has been a huge success.
We left Coolidge with a
bounce Sunday morning, the
9th, with Mr.. Christensen,
who was so kind as to do
nate his time and our trans
portation. | wish he had
been at the Pay'n Takit
when we arrived home to
hear the girls yell, 1.-TWO,
four, six, eight; who do we
appreciate? Mr.. Christen-
SEN"
We arrived in Prescott
before noon, and were very
pleased to see our camp. Mr..
Payne, who is in charge of
Granite Dells, helped us to
get settled in our new home
and was very kind and
Thoughtful of us throughout
our stay.
There were seventeen
Camp Fire girls who were
able to go, and six adults.
Miss Helen Fulkerson had
charge of the activities,
which included hikes and
swimming. Miss Dorothy
White made out schedules
for the girls to follow in the
kitchen work. Miss Ellen
Williams took charge of the
morning and evening ex-
ercises and the first aid
classes. Mrs. Joe Sheriff.,
the girls guardian, con-
Quoted the chapel services
each morning and the coun-
Gil fire in the evening; also
arranged for the food sup
ply. The girls are very CRATE
full to Mr.. Dunway for dona-
tion of food. BY the way,
don't say squirrel" to those
girls; it's a real bad word.
Mrs. Max Anderson was
truly a mother to the girls.
As for me; well, | just went
because / wanted to, but the
girls agreed that | could
take the fire builders
rank.
The girls won many ad-
ditional honors, the most
important being the camp
honor. At the first council
meeting their camp was
named "Waziyata," which
means Tall Pine Tree" We
made a symbol a triangle,
made of brown leather, and
painted a green Pine tree
with a w under it upon the
triangle. These symbols are
to be seen upon their cere-
monial gowns to represent
their camp honor for this
summer. Several girls made
up original songs about
their camp which were sung
around the council ire.
Honors were given for these
songs. Wednesday after
noon, Mrs. Potters of Kirk
land Junction came with her
truck and took us to Pres
colt where we went to the
Charolette Hall museum and
learned many interesting
things about old pioneer
