Some of those memories are so precious, some

I also worked at Pitkin's Drug Store, first as
a fountain girl, then a cosmetic buyer from 7 a.m.
'til noon -- bike to Duck l^ake -- then return to work
from 3 p m. til mid-night.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Pitkin always taught us Sale
the custoTur was always right and that "all" the
people in the White Lake area were the real Cham-
ber of Commerce, so our attitude was very impor-
tant. the summer resorters were very important to
the local economy -- we really met some great peo-
ple during those summer months, some which still
remain friends.
School was fun. 1 was editor of the school paper,
a cheerleader when the basketball team went to State
and lost in an Dver time game -- but we won best cheer-
leaders in the State — what a thrill. About school, I
like to tell my children I was in the top ten -- 1 don't
mention there were only 17 in the whole class.
There were a lot of Saturday night parties, most-
ly at "Baynes". We all brought something and they
let us roll up the carpets and dance. Sunday we had
to go back, after church, and help clean up. but that Famous Maker
was another excuse to all be together again. Thank
you Martha Bayne for giving us a place to play and
a place to grow, also for seeing the good in all of
us and always having time to listen to us.

New superintendent should be strict
By HELEN PANZL
MONTAGUE -- Although the Mantague Board of
Education had sent out 15 invitations to various local
organizations and announced a special meeting through
the news media, their effort to give the general public
a voice in choosing the qualifications most desired
in a new school superintendent resulted in the attend-
ance of only seven residents.

Stormy weather was undoubtedly one of the rea-
sons for a poor turnout. Was general apathy or a feel-
ing that their voice wouldn't count anyway another rea-
son?
Those who did attend strongly emphasized that
the new superintendent should be a strict disciplin-
arian above all.
Kim Taylor, president of the Montague Teachers
48 Education Assn., listed eight requirements deemed
essential in a new superintendent by this organization.
They are: Prior experience as a superintendent;
MONTH
an age range of from 45 to 55; experience with m:J-
lage campaigns; ability to handle public relations;
sensitivity to and awareness of the public opinion of
the district while working for district improvement;
CAR
interest and ability in curriculum J»velopmon'.;promised
continuance and improvement of the present shared
classes program for Montague Whitehall. Shelby and
Hart; and constant visibility among students and teachers

in the district.
In stating his own, private opinion, Taylor spoke
about the disciplinary problem prevalent today.
"It's the main problem in all schools " he said.
"Somehow parents should be made responsible for their
children's actions." Board President Henry Roesler went
one step farther to citing "It's appalling to see parents
not caring enough about their children to accompany them
to disciplinary hearings. They just don't care." He
also deplored the apathy in the district which does not
even support the PT\ anymore.
Roesler also suggested "The erosion of school
with
board control to federal and state regulations and the
liberal interpretation of nrsdemeanors by the courts
make the administration of disciplinary problems dif-
ficult to act upon."
Simple Interest Also voicing his opinion at the mreting was Rev.
Douglas Bartlett of the White Lake Baptist Church
which will open its own school in September. Rev.
Bartlett spoke of the lack of discipline and morality
now a major problem in larger cities which is stead-
ily creeping into smaller communities He suggested
that an element in the district would welcome a dis-
ciplinarian and a conservative man.
