The New l-Jigh School During the month of January, public meetings will be · ·1 f' h Id' · h f . . I1e Id 111. t 1e 1ve sc oo 1stncts for t e purpose o acquamtmg school patrons with the senior high school plan. School heads at Parkland, Midland. Central Avenue, Col!ins and Woodlawn at their annual Christmas programs announced that preliminary plans for the new district had been completed. and were ready for presentation to the residents in the five school districts at public bearings. No one will deny the fact that the South End is ready for a senior high school. With approximately 600 students in high schools and another 1,500 in grammar schools, we are at a point when we must make plans to establish a high school within our area. That is a community obligation. When five districts come together to form one high school district, there are apt to be many problems; and many different opinions because one won't find several thousand people all satisfied with the same plan, the same organization. Location of the new school will also bring varied opinions, even though the school beads in their preliminary meetings have decided to leave the tough job of selection of site to an unprejudiced committee comprised of state educators. Each and every patron should make it a duty to attend the open hearings so that his opinions can be weighed in forming an over-all program,. We hope that individual prejudices will be laid aside for the good of the community so that the senior high school can become a reality during the year

**** An Urgent Need Two weeks ago President S.
C.
Eastvold of P.L.C.
sounded a plea for furnished apartments or furnished rooms. These housing accommodations are being sought for returning veterans (with families) so that they can continue their education and take advantage of the G.I. Bill of Rights: The college, at the present time, has no accommodations for married couples. Therefore. they must rely on the Parkland. Brookdale and Spanaway communities for such housing needs. We realize that housing is very scarce: in fact there is none to be bad at the present time. But we do feel that there are people in this vicinity who have an extra room or two. No kitchen facilities need be available, since the college can feed the ex-soldier and bis wife in the college dining hall. Won't you make a survey of our housing conditions and see whether you can spare some rooms? Remember it is for a former G.I. wh-o fought for two or more years so that you could enjoy security at home. Call the college if you have the room to spare.

---o---
With Jan. 31, 1946 ... the last day on which men now in the service n1ay reenlist and hold their rank is less than four weeks off Many of these soldiers are now Army minded, having spent from three to six years in the service and have but a comparatively short time to serve and retire under the new 20-year retirement plan announced recently by Congress. Any discharged veteran has 20 days to reenlist and. keep his grade held at time o·f discharge, and any soldier in the Army of the United States may request a discharge for the pmpose of reenlistment and retain his grade. Periods of enlistment are one year, 18 months, two and three years. A three year enlistment en· titles a man to choose his overseas theater of operations, whereas any reenlistment period" means a soldier may reenlist to fill his own vacancy. Family allotments w'ill continue for the period of enlistment.
