SCHOOL OPENS AT
REGIONAL SCHOOLS
East Farewell – The school year started this week as all the
staff warmly welcomed the eager students with all new educational supplies and
freshly refurbished buildings and grounds. The School Budget this year included
reissuing all new books and completely refurbishing every building with new
paint and new landscaping. The student body has once again set a record for
enrollment. The total student body is now 849. This includes the two elementary
schools, the Junior High School and the Regional High School. This year marked yet
another record enrollment for the district and four new teachers have been
hired, one for each school. New courses have been added to the High School
curriculum. This year the students will be offered three new courses in the
mathematics and science departments.
Advanced mathematics which includes college prep physics, geology and
extended physical science have been added to the high school curriculum.
The High School
will host its largest senior class this year with a total of 157 students in
the class. This is by far the largest class to pass through Regional High’s
doors but it will be surpassed next year and each year for the next four years
if predictions of estimated student body size hold up. The large increase in
students reflects the population increase in the East Farewell area. The town
is becoming more than just a “Destination Station” along the Mighty Keystone Railroad.
The town has enjoyed continuous growth for the last three years and it looks
that things will keep moving ahead into a very bright future.

position. If the Travelers win the title it will be the third championship in
the last five years for the team. This is an exceptional record for any team

down the Anglers for the first six innings and Anglers ace, Joe Finn keeping
the Travelers in check for the first five. The Travelers bats finally came to
life in the fifth with a three run surge capped by a long blast by Johnny
Cloos, his league leading 27th. The Anglers came back in the sixth
scoring their only run with two doubles by Wilson and Heart. That was all the Angler
could muster but the Travelers were not finished, they went on to score two
more in the eighth with four more hits by Francis, Dunham, Brown and Archibald.
The Travelers
go to Corning next week were they hope to extend their lead in the standing by
besting the second place CGW nine. The game starts in Corning at 1:30.

DYNAMITE TRAGEDY IN MICHIGAN –
NIXON LIKES TV – IKE WILL NOT CUT MILITARY – COMO DEBUTS AGAINST GLEASON
In Mt
Pleasant, Michigan, an angry husband carrying a bundle of dynamite with a sputtering fuse, walked into the farm home of his daughter and dragged his estranged wife into the yard just
in time for the two of them to be blown to bits. Versal Dunn, a 50-year old
factory worker from nearby Shepherd, had attempted reconciliation with his 39
year-old wife Blanche since Tuesday. A neighbor, Guy Brooks, said Dunn dragged
his screaming wife into the front yard and was 10 feet from the house when the
dynamite exploded, shattering windows in the house and blowing a hole six feet
deep into the ground.
Vice President Nixon predicts that the whistle stop form of campaigning in the 1956 Presidential battle will be “less
used and less effective. He said he believes TV technique is most effective
when a candidate’s aims and views are presented simply, unrehearsed and
spontaneously and in a conversational tone.
The Eisenhower administration “will
never put our desire to balance the budge ahead of our determination to
maintain adequate military strength,” said Vice President Nixon.
Perry Como makes his debut on NBC-TV

Saturday nights.
