$700,000 Proposal
For New Junior High
Gets Whopping
The vote was 951 in favor
and 108 against.
Dr. Tom Palmer, superinten-
dent of schools, said today he was
highly elated by the outcome.
‘‘This is another evidence of
the support that Sapulpa citiz-
ens give their schools," Palmer
said.

School board members met
Tuesday night to canvass the
election results, and approved
a resolution to sell the bonds
at 7 p.m. on Sept. 26. The
bonds will be for a 10-year
period.
Construction is not expected to
start until early next year.
Palmer said the margin of
approval was something of a
surprise’.
"We felt that it would carry,
but had no idea it would be
by so large a margin," Palmer
said. He termed the 9 to 1 ra-
tio "almost unbelievable."
The turnout of 1,059 was term-
ed slightly heavier than normal
for a school election.
After the bonds are sold, the
project must be submitted to the
state attorney general, Palmer
said. There is a 30-day protest
period, and after that the at-
torney general can give the go-
ahead.
School board approval of the
architect's plans must also be
approved, and then the project
will be advertised for bids by
contractors. Palmer said it
would be the second semester of
the school year before actual
construction could begin.
Average cost of the bond issue
will be about $7.32 per $1,000
assessed valuation shown on
county tax rolls, exluding the
first $1,000 for homestead ex-
emption.
The new junior high is sche-
duled to provide about 40 teach-
ing stations with supporting fac-
ilities such as libraries, physi-
cal education space with dress-
ing rooms for both boys and
girls, instrumental and vocal
music, math and science labor-
atories, offices and shops.
Sapulpans by an overwhelm-
ing 9 to 1 margin Tuesday ap-
proved a $700,000 bond issue
for construction of a new jun-
ior high school._
"It is especially gratifying , „
because it was entire commun- ed b* Mr- “d Mrs- John »ar’
ity project, not just a school ris. 9081 = S; Mufog,e„e‘

Harris said was tending to his
race horses the family keeps on
the property when he heard an ex-
plosion come from the trailer.
Harris said he ran to the trail-
er and saw a liquid petroleum
bottle spewing fuel beneath the
the chamber of commerce,
there just wasn’t any group that
didn’t help us.”
The new junior high will be
built at the site of the high school,
Dewey at Mission. It will replace
the existing building at 900 E.

which the school board had call- home-
ed “totally inadequate to meet

Sapulpa To Host
One Day School
Sapulpa will host a school giv-
en by the state health depart-
ment, city officials said Wed-
nesday,
The school is in conjunction
with the certification program
for sewage and water treatment
plant employes and will begin
Thursday 9 a.m. in the com-
mission room in city hall. Four
schools a year are held with
plant employes required to at-
tend at least one of the one-
day schools, officials said.
When water and sewage per-
sonnel are hired they attend a
the trailer, and that his first im-
pulse when the fire did break
out was to jet his wife Marie out
of the trailer.
Mrs. Harris said she was
asleep in the trailer, but woke
up on the first explosion, and
got out of the burning home safe-
ly.
Harris said he hooked up the
garden hose to fight the fire
but said he didn’t have any luck
before firemen came.
The Rev. Howard Allen, pastor
of the Westside Baptist church
across the street from the Har-
ris home, said he was on the
phone when he heard the first
explosion. Before he could hang
up he said he heard two more
explosions then ran outside to
see if he could do anything to
help.
Allen said by the time he got
outside the fire department was
already at the scene.
Harris said the trailer had
been acquired only two months
ago.
The trailer has two liquid pet-
roleum bottles equipped with it,
he said. One bottle had 20 gal-
lons of fuel in it and the other
one was empty.
The Harris’ two children, Bret
Rhonda, both were in grade
school at the time of the fire.
Fire department officials said
the fire was believed caused
by liquid petroleum coming in
contact with a hot water heater
pilot light.
