Whose Mud Pie?


lie School teachers don't care any,
more! And Why7 Because the kid
dies do not this year, carry in on
their feet literally tons of mud, as
of yore. everVime it rains enough
to wet the playground thoroughly.
The extensive new sandy surfaced
play areas, the blaCk-topped ba sket
ball and soft ball fields and drive
ways bear eloquent testimony TO
what community effort, we'll or
gamzed, can accomplish for its
children. And whether Principal,
parent, teacher pupil or caretaker
is the happiest. it would be impos-
sible to say.
The whole project originated in
the mind, first, of one of the par
ents, Otho Portion, an Adult Ed
ucation teacher with the Bureau of
Indian Affairs. who got FED up with
hearing his wife "a Public School
teacher) and his children COM
planning about HI wing to wade mud
and clean up Classroom floors.
Or. maybe he just got tired Of
buying new shoes SO often. Be that
as it may, Portion came to a PIT A
meeting in the midst of the worst
melting snow and rainy sea son, in
January, determined that some
action should be taken at once.
Other conc ncerned parents and teach
ers with whom he had been talking,
came with the same idea and what
had started out as a modest plan
for a PTA project soon branched
out into full-fledged community
affair--parents, school board
members, BIApersOnnel--every--
one in the community wanted to
"sticka finger in the pie--and what
an enormous mud pie they had to
deal with! One poster displayed in
every available public place read;

you should see the Public School

and help US clean it ups, and was
most appropriately illustrated by
Junior High art students who knew
the sickness of our particular
brand of mud, first hand!
Out they came, bright and early,
on the following Saturday morning,
many by seven O'Clock, in high
boots and with shoVels and spades.
Saturday after Saturday on foot. on
tractors, on leaders, and trucks,
men and equipment rolled into the
schoolyard and teachers rolled out

onslaught against our common
enemy--mudi The entire surfaceof
all play areas was dug out TO an
average depth of one TO one and
half feet. hauled away in leaders and
dumped. This surface had been
built up when foundations we're dug
for the present school building and
was largely clay and as sticky and
gumny as glue when wet. New solid
earth was hauled in TO fill up the
entire playground, rolled and
rolled until firmly packed and then
