October 1, 1960 Dear Sirs: It has been brought to the at tention of the Board of Education that O'Neill once had a larger high school than it does today and therefore does not need a high school. The true picture is only com plete when we check enrollment figures and teachers in the entire system at that time. The annual report of 1943 to the County Superintendent re vealed the following figures. Three hundred grade students with nine grade teachers. Two hundred and eight in high school with 12 teachers. Compare these figures with today’s figures. In 1943, 300 elementary young sters with nine teachers, in I960, 460 elementary youngsters and 17 teachers. The high school shows 208 students with 12 teachers. Tuition students in high school that year showed 100. This means that the O'Neill district put 108 into high school that year. This year, high school figures are 173 students with 12 teachers. This year the O’Neill school has 55 tuition students and 118 students from the O’Neill district. The elementary increase of 160 students and eight elementary teachers required the administra tion to take rooms from the high school and change them to ele mentary rooms. It is true the dis trict built four rooms in 1955. This did not even last the 10 years that the survey committee had indicated it would. In reviewing the figures again you will note that in 1943 the in put into high school from the O - Neill district was 108 and pro jecting the actual high school in put in 1965 the O’Neill district will put in 194. This is an increase of 86 from the O’Neill district It will not be possible for O - Neill district No. 7 to educate youngsters that live outside of the district after 1964. If the school has classes that are larger than 55, the classes will have to be divided three times and it is im possible to find rooms to accomo date that many classes Presently the school is teaching language in the home economic room, English in the commercial room, social studies in the science room. Under these conditions you can not keep good teachers, neither, can you expect teachers to do superior teaching. It will he too late to try and solve the problems in 1964. Action must he taken right now and if everything moves smoothly the building will just barely be completed in time. M J. Baach Superintendent Prairieland Talker (Continued from page 1.) you to meet these young men from the Frontier.” Leaving the Meals' place we again headed south as Mr. Saun ders pointed out landmarks along the way. Across Holt creek. Dry creek and the south fork of the Elkhorn we reached his beloved flowing well country around Amelia. The old-timer treated us to an ice cream cone at Lindsey’s store in Amelia and while we munched the cone we were in troduced to Miss Florence Lind sey, her mother and many others of the community. Our return trip took us through Chambers where Mr. Saunders pointed out his old ranch house that had been moved to town and remodeled. After the trip we found our selves strangely exhilirated and enthusiastic about life and our work -all because of our sh irt period of companionship witji this Prairieland Talker. It was fortunate that we should have the privilege of Mr Saun ders’ company at the beginning of National Newspaper week and hear some of the history of local journalism from the lips of the man who helped make that his tory—the old Prairieland Talker himself.
