L-L school board solves
kghotty busing problem
A knotty transportation prob-
leas neatly resolved by the
Lake-Lehman School Board at
its regular meeting Nov. 10
when it approved a plan to
permit two first graders who
must ordinarily walk to school
along a hazardous route to ride
a school bus. Although the
youngsters live within the mile
and one half limit established
by the State, the school board
voted to make the exception,
after learning that there is
space available on a 72-
passenger bus which passes the
children’s home each morning.
‘We recognize that a problem
of safety does exist,” Board
Chairman Edgar Lashford told
Harry Banahan, father of one of
the two children, and we will
make this exception out of con-
cers for their safety.”
- N®. Bonahan had offered at
last month’s meeting to pay the
school board for bus transporta-
tion but was informed by Solic-
itor Charles Lemmond that the
board is ‘prohibited from ac-
oie any money for any
special consideration or ser-
vice.” The alternate solution
proposed by the school board
was readily accepted by Mr.
Banahan.
The assignment of 17 student
teachers from College Miseri-
cordia to the Lake-Lehman
School District was approved by
the board. Ten young women
will be teaching in the high
school, while seven will serve
during the second semester at
the elementary school. Super-
vising Principal Robert Z.
Belles noted that the board re-
ceives $75 from the college for
each student teacher it trains
and that the monies are deposit-
ed irs the general fund and ear-
mafWed for in-service training.
Coaches for winter sports
were named by the board, with
Michael Sharok listed as head
coach of the boys’ basketball
team; ‘John Oliver as head
cod of the wrestling team,
and Wilma Schierer, girls’

basketball coach. John R.
Thomas was named to coach
the junior varsity basketball
squad and John Comitz will
head the junior high school
basketball team. Junior varsity
wrestlers will be coached by
George Curry while the junior
high grapplers’ mentor will be
Edward Ladamus. Salaries for
head coaches are budgeted at
$750; the other coaches of boys’
teams will receive $550. Salary
for the girls’ basketball coach is
set at $400.
A pleasant surprise for the
school board came in the form
of a bid for diplomas from the
Jostin Company. With other
bids ranging from $2.10 to $2.36
per diploma, Jostin’s bid on a
five-year contract for diplomas
was unexpectedly low at $1.61.
This figure, noted Secondary
Schools Principal Anthony
Marchakitus, is $.09 less than
the school district has been
paying for the last 10 years. The
‘ board promptly agreed to ac-
cept the quotation.
A letter from the Robert Laux
Insurance Agency asked that
the school board remit $265 to
the insurance company as a re-
sult of an error made by an em-
ploye of its firm in quoting in-
surance premiums for senior
high school football players. In-
stead of $22 per player, the
letter stated, the cost should
have been $27 per player. In
addition, the insurance firm
sought the remainder of a
premium payment due on. 55
junior high school football play-
ers. The board voted to pay the
latter premium but took no ac-
tion on the former request.
Dr. Mary Russin was granted
approval by the board to help
Dr. Lester Saidman perform
student physcial examinations,
and school board secretary
Eleanor Humphreys was
directed to write a letter re-
questing approval of Dr. Russin
from the Department of Health
in Harrisburg.
The names of Thomas C.
Skovronsky and Rose Ann
Radzinski were added to the
substitute list.
The names of Merlin C. Nallo
and Leslie O. English were pre-
sented to the board for consid-
eration as substitute bus driv-
ers. The board granted approv-
al of the men upon presentation
of necessary credentials.
The resignations of Ethel
Engelman and Anna Mae Smith
as cafeteria workers at Lake
Elementary School were ac-
cepted by the board, and Violet
Kitchen was hired for cafeteria
service at that school. Marguer-
ite Cauda, formerly a teacher’s
aide, was hired to work in the
Lake Elementary cafeteria
also. Rose Cumens will replace
her as a teacher’s aide.
John Miliauskas was granted
permission to attend the Penn-
sylvania Music Educator’s
Conference Dec. 3, 4, and 5.
Calvin Kanyuck was intro-
duced to the board as the chief
negotiator for the Lake-Lehman
Education Association. The
school board will hold a special
session Tuesday, Nov. 24, to
meet with Mr. Kanyuck

Stella’s standing beside her Starlite extension telephone. She remem-
bers how hard it was to settle for just one of the six beautiful colors of-
fered by Starlite. She thinks she'll order five more in each of the other
colors. She's found the nightlight handy many times. And the lovely Star-
lite is so trim and small, she had no trouble finding space for it. Stella
might even write a song about it. Contact Commonwealth's business
