Pilot
Proposed
A full-time pilot community
resource center with a stragetist
in charge and financed by the
federal government is proposed
for Mt. Vernon, according to
Joseph Cullen, Washington ele-
mentary school principal. Cullen
told the school board Monday
night of the proposal which us-
ually helps disadvantaged child-
ren.
The Mt. Vernon school now has
a part-time strategist, whose
time is shared with another
school. The strategist goes to a
resource center at Coralville to
get materials needed forthepro-
gram, or takes the pupils there.
Two local pupils now aregoingto
Coralville, Cullen said.
But transportation becomes a
problem, he added. By having a
center in Mt. Vernon, transporta-
tion would no longer be aproblem.
The service here would be shared
with nearby schools, Cullen ex-
plained.
Superintendent John Klousia
suggested that the school district
pave the Tenth Avenue entrance
to the new high school. He said
he gathered in conversation with
city officials or members of the
planning and zoning commission
that the city has no plans nowfor
opening Tenth Avenue through
from College Boulevard to Pali-
sades Road.
Klousia suggested 25-foot con-
crete paving, six inches thick,
without curb, between Palisades
and the school entrance. He
thought the firm that does the
city paving job this year might
be hired to pave this section.
He estimated black top would
cost $4,500 and reinforced con-
crete $7,500. The board direct-
ed him, at his suggestion, to
ask Anderson Engineering of Des
Moines to prepare specifications
for the job.
The superintendent said hefelt
that paving the elementary school
parking lot has top priority, as
well as a walk from Fifth Avenue
to the new high school along a
ridge by the bus barn.
Board President John Wolfe
delegated director Charles Litts,
Klousla and himself to study the
matter and report at the next
meeting.
Klousia said the pickup truck
used in transporting food is get-
ting old and needs replacing. He
said he would like to have one
with a door on the sidethatwould
cost about $2,700. The present
truck has no trade-in value, he
said. The superintendent was
authorized to investlgatethemat-
ter further.
William Meyer, middle school
English teacher, presented plans
for an eight-page program in
color for the high school dedica-
tiou and graduation next month.
It would be printed at the joint
county school printing plant, and
the only cost to the Mt. Vernon
district woulct be forpsper, Klou-
sis said.
Charles Halsey, sponsor of the
high school ecology club, report-
ed that students had done some
planting around the campus. The
school has been offered two nice
evergreens for the front of the
building, it was said. Klousia
said that Fred Lehman has of-
fared the school enough sod to
finish the front lawn.
Cullen proposed to the school
that approximately $1,700 in title
I funds which will be unspent at
the end of the year be used for
a summer program, with a tea-
cher helping students with math-
emetics. He said it might cost
the district something for trans-
portation. The board approved
his suggestion.
Wolfe read a letter he had re-
ceived from a citizen proposing
that the new school be named
West High School in honor of
the West family, from whom the
site was bought. While the
name might have a geographical
significance, it would not be in-
appropriate because the school
is on the west side of town. Mrs.
Harlan Graber suggested that
Hull-West might be a better
name.
The hoard took no action, but
instead is asking others to sug-
gest names for consideration.
The board formally approved
publication of calls for bids on
the old Ward school buildings and
site, which appear in this week's
issue of the Hawkeye.
Wolfe and John Wllch, hoard"
secretary, reported briefly about
the meeting of the National As-
soclatiou of School Boards in
California which attended
recently. Wolfe urged that other
hoard members attend future
meetings of the organization,
feeling that there was much of
importance to be learned atthem.

NATURE PARK PLAN: The above sketch shows how the
city park commission plmls to develop the new nature park
on the site of an abandoned quarry in southeast Mt. Vernon.
There will be a parking lot, a dam to raise the water level
in the quarry lake, the west edge of the quarry will be bull-
dozed and a fence installed, dead trees and trash will be re-
moved, trails established and the uplands along the west side
will be improved. Volunteers will spend next Saturday morning
on the work.
A school guidance counselor
does more than lining up people
for jobs---he does more than
people have a tendency to think,
the bit. Vernon School board was
assured by the local counselor,
Donald Swenson. The latter made
a presentation at Monday nights
board meeting.
Explaining why counseling is
needed at school, Swenson said
that things can haPPen during
pre-natal months or during child-
hood to affect aehild. Ourculfure
tends to over-stimulate the child
and the pressure may cause him
to get mixed up, he continued.
R is at this point that he needs
help.
Information that is incomplete
or wrong, or information that
the individual distorts himself
can affect him. If he could see
theworld as it is and himself
as he is and not be "uptight,"
he could make constructive de-
cisions. Our culture and our
school system have buflt-inthings
that causes him to act "stupid-
lY." He said he sees pupils
daily who make unwise respon-
ses.
Discussing his relations with
the students, he said he is neither
their parent, teacher or friend,
so they have nothing to lose in
discussing their problems con-
fidentially with him.
It's a "unique relationship,"
he declared. "They can come
to me and just explore where
they are."
In dealing with freshmen, he
likes to tell them what he thinks
he can do, and encourages them
to talk about him with upperclass-
men. "I like to get a graPe-
vine going."
"I like to be accessible be-
cause there are a lot of crisis
things coming up." His real
function is to talk with them
about things they wouldn't dare
With the Sick
Alfred Olsen has been in St.
Luke' s Hospital undergoing
treatment for the pastfewweeks.
Mrs. Fred Niehaus was re-
leased Saturday from St. Luke's
Hospital and is convalescing at
home from an appendectomyper-
formed a week earlier.
Mrs. Bess Wilson underwent
gall bladder surgery Monday in
St. Luke's Hospital. Her son
and daughter-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Bruce Wilson,' Cooe Ra-
pids, Minn ar~ved Saturday
for a few days' visit.
John Colon has returned home
from St. Luke's Hospital where
he had spent almost three weeks
and underwent major surgery.
Mrs. Charles Q. Wallace went
to Bozeman, Mont Sunday to be
with her daughter, Linda, whowas
in a Bozeman hoepltai. Miss
Wallace is a student at Montana
State Urdversi in Bozeman.
r
talk about with anyone else. He
likes to associate with them in
the hall and at lunch.
Swenson expressed pleasure
with facilities provided for him
in the new high school which he
called "fantastic." However,
he said he spends too much time
in a clerical type of work, and
wished that one of the staff mem-
bers who does some of this work
could be a full-time aid to maxi-
mize his own effectiveness. An-
other full-time counselor would
be better, but he said hereallzed
this would be impossiblebecause
of budget restrictions. He would
also like to have a library of
vocational opportunities, andthis
could be assembled at little or
no expense, since the materials
would be free.
Proposes Repeal
of Fluoridation
Councilman Frank Benesh, Sr
proposed repeal of the Mt. Ver-
non fluoridation ordinance Tues-
day night, but his motion failed
to receive a second. It was made
at a special council meeting held
primarily to discuss solid waste
disposal.
Councilman M.H. Prall said
he was flatly opposed to re-
peal, and the councilmen later
agreed informally that it would
be best to wait to learn the
fluoride content of water in the
well that is to be drilled late
this spring before seriously con-
siderin g repeal.
The council dlscusssed alter-
natives to the waste disposal
matter, but did not see a need
to be rushed into the county
landfill program. R was felt that
until a better reason is found
for changing, it would be best
to continue to cooperate with
Lisbon in maintaining the pres-
ent dump in a manner satis-
factory to county health author-
ities.
Dr. Lloyd Steffensmeler asked
the council to reconsider its re-
fusal to grant a permit for a
factory building at the rear of
his office building downtown, but
the council refused.
Dr. Prall told the council he
would like to appoint Scott Har-
rison as manager of the swim-
ming pool again this summer.
A 12-week season Is planned.
