'Y0UR SCHOOL AND YOU"
Special 28-Poee Section
Next Sunday in
The Star Pictorial Magazine

Who really knows what's going to
happen in your next term of school?
The best person to ask would be a
student who has just completed that
term. And that's how The Star
tackled the problem. First, we in
terviewed local students of all ages.
We found out what they really
wanted to know about their next
term. To get the answers, we went
to older students. For example, a
panel of college sophomores answer
the questions in the minds of high
school graduates who are about to
enter college. There's the same ques-
tion-and-answer advice for high
school, junior high school and busi-
ness school students. Even the kim
dergarten set is included. An edu-
Gator and child psychologist answer
questions for parents Don't miss
this unique special section. It's big,
colorful, full of good advice, good

Refunds Made To
Retirement System

Five City employees have made
full restitution of accumulated con-
tributions withdrawn from. the City
retirement system. The funds were
withdrawn when the new retire
ment plan went into effect on De-
cember %, 1853. The refund pay
ments amounted to $3,46O and COW
cred 35 years of retirement serv-
ice. The City's supplemental re-
tirement plan was voted in along
with the social security coverage
by Phoenix voters in a special elec-
ton held on December %, 1858.
The accumulated contributions
held in the old retirement system
either had to be refunded to the
members or transferred to their
credit in the new plan. Employees
who elected to transfer to the new
retirement plan received credit for
all prior service. Records indicate
that 4O4 or 45.4 per cent of the
members of the retirement system
received refunds totaling $208, ,914.
Through these refunds 2,166 years
of accumulated retirement serv-
ce were lost.
The amendment to the City
Charter set July 1, 1855 as the
final date for making repayment.
BY bringing social security into the
City retirement system, employees
| gained increased benefits at a
saving of $4,000 or more annually
