Board Meets on Monday
Three-year contracts were of
fered to all five teachers who
are in their first year with the
Marysville schools, by the Board
of Education in its regular meet
ing Monday night. All other
members of the faculty are either
on continuing contracts or serv-
ing under three-year contracts
extended them a year ago.
The five new teachers are Mrs.
Beulah Brown, first and second
grades in the West building; Miss
Mary Helen Segner, home econ
omics; Miss Wilma James, COM
merical; Miss Mary Anne Davis,
physical education; and Don
Scott, Junior high social studies.
Practically the same faculty
which served the schools this year
will be back next year, Supt. H.
w. Carr said following the meet
ing. $50 far as 1 know now, all
but two of this years staff will
be back with us next fall," he
said.
Lunches Decrease
In response to question by
one of the Board members, Mr..
Carr said the school lunch pa
tronage has fallen off 80 to 40
percent since discontinuance of
Federal aid forced price increase
from 20 to Is cents.
Most of the drop is in the Sen
ior high cafeteria" he pointed
out. 'This is probably due to the
fact that most of the rural pupils
eat at the East school cafeteria
and cannot go home for lunch.
Ii they did not eat at the cafe
terra, it would mean bringing a
cold lunch from home"
The Board authorized Supt
Carr to hire another bus driver,
at not to exceed $45 per month,
so that the fourth new board
owned bus can be placed in op-
Grafton soon. Four new buses
were ordered several months ago,
and three were here for the open
ing of school last fall. Delivery
could not be made on the fourth
one, however, and the other three
have been doubling up to take
the fourth route throughout the
school term.
Need New Text Books
Several new text books, prob
ably $1,000 worth in all, will have
to be purchased for the local
schools before next fall, Supt.
Carr told the Board. Included a.
mong the books to be bought,
provided texts better than those
used at present can be obtained,
are Spanish |, a music series, his
tory and geography of Ohio, ele-
mentary health, Senior high
health, arithmetic series for
grades three through eight, and
American history of eighth grade
level.
In order to participate in fed
eral surplus property program
with other exempted village
schools of Ohio, Supt. Carr told
the Board he had joined a recent
ly-formed organization on behalf
of the Marysville schools, for the
purpose of renting a warehouse
and getting several truck-loads
of surplus government property.
"We won't know until we get
it, just what it will include" he
pointed out, "but there is a chance
for us to get some articles which
may be of great value to us SIM
ply for the cost of transportation
and share in warehouse rental"
MCGUIRE Is Approved
Marysville is cooperating with
% other exempted village schools
in southwest Ohio in this pro-
gram, and it is hoped to locate
a suitable warehouse in some city
located in about the center of
this area.
