Oak Hill petitioners seek
school bus route change
A petition signed by approx-
imately 100 residents of the Oak
Hill area was presented to
Lake-Lehman’s School Direc-
tors at their regular monthly
meeting Feb. 9.
According to Thomas
Yaniski, spokesman for the 10-
member group which attended
the meeting, the petitioners
- seek modification of the school
bus route presently in use in
Oak Hill. Students from the Oak
Hill development are picked up
now at the corner of Park and
Oak Streets. Mr. Yaniski main-
tained, and inclement weather
and poor road conditions fre-
quently make walking to the bus
stop hazardous for young chil-
dren.
He and his group asked that
the school board change the bus
route to include the entire loop
in Oak Hill, with four or five
stops along the way.
School . Board Chairman
Edgar Lashfor pointed out that
school bus routes—including the
Oak Hill route—are revised at
the beginning of each school
year with an eye toward the
overall needs of the school dis-
trict.
Anthony Marchakitus, assis-
‘tant supervising principal,
agreed. He noted that an in-
creased student population has

communication essential,
guidance counselors state
Guidance counselors of
Dallas Senior and Junior High
Schools were guest speakers at
the February meeting of Back
Mountain Association for Better
Education.
Thomas Carr, senior high
counselor, and Gordon Schlier,
junior high counselor, talked of
their duties, methods, etc., and
later in the session answered a
number of questions asked by
members of the audience.
Formerly a physics teacher,
Mr. Carr has been at Dallas 15
years. This year he is handling
over 700 students, with 229
seniors, most of whom are
applying to three colleges. He
said it was his duty to prepare
some 500-600 transcripts and
notations.
soil level
effects trees
Trees can be damaged many
ways during construction. Only
a few inches change in soil level
causes some trees to die, says J.
Robert Nuss, Extension ornam-
ental horticulturist at The
Pennsylvania State University.
Piling soil around a tree, even
temporarily, or building a
paved driveway close by may
weaken it by suffocating the
root system.

Other duties include conduct-
ing orientation sessions, testing
programs, college boards and
achievement tests. He is also
responsible for transmitting
information to armed services
intelligence, employers, F.B.1.,
Social Security and Medicare;
he also holds parent conf-
erences and student meetings.
He said his philosophy was
“that if a person is not hanov
doing his daily chore there’s not
much meaning to life.”
Mr. Carr is the father of four
teenagers.
With 20 years experience in
teaching and related fields, Mr.
Schlier said’ he handles 820
students, which is twice the
number recommended by the
state.
In his remarks he suggested
that many academic problems
should be solved in grade
school; the sooner problems
were spotted, ‘‘the more suc-
cessful you are,” he said.
He listed three critical
problems: (1) too many
students (one shot counseling
for follow-up); (2) lack of good
testing programs in grade
school and lack of counselors
with time to pinpoint problems;

(3) the need for more testing in
junior high and more time to
work with the results of testing.
Dr. Owen Faut, association
president, asked Counselor
Schlier to explain tests given by
him. Mr. Schlier gave detailed
information on four tests.
In answer to a question Mr.
Carr said he felt Dallas school
system was doing an above--
average job. Sixty percent of
last year’s graduates went on
for further education in
colleges, nursing schools, he
stated.
The consensus of both guid-
ance counselors was that
communication is good between
junior and senior high schools
but that little communication
exists between the elementary
and secondary schools.
