SCHOOL IS OPEN IN EAST
FAREWELL
East Farewell – The Regional School District opened all schools
for the 1958-1959 school year on Monday. The high school seniors walked
confidently into their last year and the youngest let go off their
Mother’s hand and entered the halls of learning for the first time. Enrollment
is up again this year, the third year in a row enrollment increased by over 2%.
The senior class broke the 200 mark with 203 seniors in this year’s class. The
enrollment is expected to increase each year for at least the next two years.
Unlike last year there were no new classes added to any grade but class size
has been increased to a new limit of 20 students per class.
Students will
be offered some new classes this year. The science department is offering a
senior class in astronomy this year and the elementary schools have revamped
their reading programs. All grades have received new textbooks and the
gymnasium has a new floor.
The teachers
had a reception last week where the newest teachers were introduced and the
older teachers were able to share their summer experiences with each other over
a wonderful luncheon under a huge tent on the football field. This year the
school district hired three new teachers, Miss Molly Shannon, Miss Beth
Reynolds and Mr. David O’Malley. They will be teaching second grade, fifth
grade and high school biology, respectively. Each is in their third year of
teaching and expressed great excitement in beginning their new careers. They
were welcomed by district superintendent, William Baxter.
Classes open
right on time on Monday morning and the students got right to work after they
found their classes and greeted their friends again. It was a promising start
to a new academic school year.

SPORTS
TRAVELERS SILENCE HOWLIN’ FRANK FOWLER
Bedford – The Travelers continued their blazing rampage around
the league on Saturday. The latest victim was the Bedford Bears and their
pitching ace, “Howlin’” Frank Fowler. The Travelers were able to tag Fowler for
5 runs while their own pitcher, Joey Alfred only let in two runs. Fowler, who
is no relation to Travelers manager Sam Fowler, earned his nickname by letting
out a howl after each of his strikeouts. On Saturday he was not howling very
much, he only registered five strikeouts throughout the whole game. That is
half of his normal of 10. He holds the league record of 17 from back in 1955.
The Travelers were able to get 13 hits off Fowler who was not as sharp as
usual. “I don’t know what was up with him today, but he was not on. His stuff
was just a little off and we were able to really take advantage of the,” said
Traveler’s star Johnnie Cloos after the game.
Cloos was able
to add to his sizzling stats by going four for four with two singles, a double
and a homerun to bring his average up to a dizzying .396. Tony Dimero was not
far behind Cloos with a three for four day including a two run homer. Bobby
Watson also sparkled on offense by hitting two doubles and scoring three runs.
The Travelers
defense was sharp, too. There were two double plays and two outs caught
stealing with pinpoint fireballs from catcher, Joey Brown to second baseman,
Artie Archibald. Alfred was able to keep the Bears off the base path by
striking out four and only allowing seven hits throughout the game.
The Travelers
move on to Coring next week and will probably face their ace Bill “Smoke”
Black. The Travelers will try to extend their winning streak to eight when they
CGW in an evening game that will begin at 7:30PM in Corning.
