PASS SCHOOL
REFERENDUM
Authorization for District To
Sell s36O,OOO Worth of
Bonds Passes 204-2S
WORK TO PROCEED

Officials of the Smyrna Special
School District have announced
that the recent referendum for
the purpose of authorizing the
district to sell S360,000 worth of
bonds passed easily with 204
votes cast for the bond issue and
% votes cast against the bond
issue. This z to 1 victory for the
building program was very SINH
lar to the voting of a year ago
when the district passed a smaller
bond referendum by a vote of 235
to 27 and a five cent local tax
increase by a vote of 229 to 33.
The district is now able to pro-
ceed with the necessary work
prior to actual construction. Pre-
liminary plans were presented to
the State Board of Education
Tuesday for the high school gym
nasium. Preliminary plans for the
elementary additions had already
been approved, pending passage
of the referendum. Work is pro-
crossing for the preliminary draw
ing of the industrial arts shop.
Donald Wason, architect, and
Warren Gillespie, industrial arts
teacher, have conferred on the de-
tails of this building. 1t is ex-
pected that the State Board of
Education will approve prelimin-
ary plans for the elementary
school and the high school gym
nasium this month so that work
on final drawings may begin. The
architect firm of E. William Mar
tin plan to try to have bids ready
to submit by December of this
year. Another item in the chain
of necessary work is the sale of
the bonds. The district is trying
to sell these bonds as soon as
possible consistent with good fl
nancial practice. The entire build
ing program of the district has
been based on the needs resulting
from increase d growth and
change over of the present COM
bination elementary-high school
to an all Junior-Senior high
school. The evaluation of the high
school last year by the Middle
States Association of Schools and
Colleges pointed out the need for
certain additional facilities and
for the need of certain renova-
tions. The district has been MAX
ing rapid progress in reaching the
goals set by this evaluation.

FOOTBALL AT
SMYRNA HIGH
Eagles Team To Play Host
To RehObOth Sea Hawks
Tomorrow Night
GAME BEGINS AT s PM.

The Smyrna High School Eag-
les football team will play host
to the Sea Hawks of Rehoboth
Beach High School tomorrow
night on the local field with the
game getting underway at 8 pm.
This will be the ninth meeting
of the two teams with the Beach
boys holding a decided 6-2 edge
in the win column. The only de-
feat handed the Smyrna team
during the 1955-1956 seasons was
a 1876 loss to this same Rehoboth
team last year. Coach William
Horney and his assistant, Rich
ardson Tritt, have been drilling
the boys all week in defensive
play in hopes of stopping the
running of Jay Stein, one of the
leading down-state scorers last
season. Another standout on the
Beach boys team is tackle, Bob
Vignola. Vignola made all-state
team last year and his coach
Frank Coveleski expects him to
duplicate the feat this year. The
Rehoboth team has won the only
game it has played this year, a
$50 win over Millsboro. The loc-
al team has split even in two
games, defeating Middletown 1876,
and losing to Alexis I. DUPONT
26-6. Coach Horney is expected
to make some changes in the
starting team for this weeks
game as quarterback Bob Spen-
Ger and center Bruce Pearce were
injured in the A. l. DUPONT game.
The Eagles will have Harold Mof-
fett and Zane Robinson at ends;
Larry Ellery and Ralph Warner
at tackles; Frank McGinnis and
Richard Savage at guards; and
Richard Hudson at center The
backfield will have Barry Pritch-
ard at quarterback, Ronald Nc
Coy and Donald O'Neal at half
back, and Bob Boyer at fullback.
With injuries and the flu depleat-
ing the squad from day to day,
the starting team is subject to
change. This will be the third
straight home game for the Red
and White and they hope large
crowd will be in attendance. The
new electric clock and scoreboard,
donated by the classes of 1856
and 1857, were in operation for
the first time this year at last
weeks contest.
