School Board
Meeting Notes
The Nome School Board, at its
regular meeting last evening, dis
cussed the tremendous use which
the school skating rink is receiv
ing. It is quite apparent that the
rink is a great success, with
easily 125 students skating daily
and on weekends. The Board
voted to provide occasional truck
loads of water to help maintain
the surface of the rink, since up
keep is proving expensive to the
sponsoring PTA. This action will
be carried on pending further
plans by the PTA at their next
meeting.
The School Board manual has
been slightly altered, to provide
for public notice of intended
policy changes. This will enable
any interested parties to appear
before the Board to discuss pro
posed changes before they are in
corporated into the manual. The
School Board Manual, published
just prior to the holidays, sets
forth all the rules and regulations
of the Nome School Board. Copies
of the Manual are now available
to interested parties.
The Board went on record as
supporting the draft legislation
as prepared by the State Dept, of
Education concerning the estab
lishment of school administrative
districts. The draft legislation fol
lows very closely the outline pre
sented in the Ford Foundation
study which was presented by
the State Board of Education
early last fall.
Following adjournment, Board
members and visitors enjoyed a
film explaining the basis of the
new Distributive Education
courses which the Nome school
will offer for the first time next
September. This program is being
developed under the State Voca
tional Plan, and the salary of the
teacher - coordinator will be sup
ported entirely by funds received
from the federal government thru
the State Dept, of Education.
The next regular meeting of
the Board will be on Jan. 23 at
7:30 p.m. in the Remedial Read
ing Room at the school.
Conrad Potter, superintendent
of schools, requests that all of the
questionnaires which were sent
out by the school, be turned in
immediately so that the survey
can get under way.

Secretary of Army Stahr
Says Military Buildup
Accomplished Readiness
FT. RItLEY, Kan. Uh — Secre
tary of the Army Elvis Stahr Jr.
says the military buildup Presi
dent Kennedy ordered last July
has accomplished a degree of
readiness unsurpassed in Ameri
can peacetime history—“a blood
less effort to win a war that must
never come.”
Stahr reviewed the buildup last
night at a dinner sponsored by the
Central Kansas Chapter of the
Assn, of the U.S. Army.
“Should we succeed in our ef
fort to preserve freedom without
war,” he said, “it will be be
cause the enemies of freedom can
see that our intention to stand
firm is backed by the military
ability to do so.”
