Sometimes good intentions, concerning those articles
which we feel rre news worthy, go astray, such as in
two articles appearing in last week’s edition. The first
error concerned a mix-up on Christmas trees which we
stated were being sold by the Jaycees. The Christmas
tree lot, located near the Enterprise Building is being
sponsored by the Lake Area Pet and Garden Center,
manned by Ron VanVors and Mike Arnold. The second
error, which probably brought a lot of Christmas spirit
to the Pirate Band, concerned information in the school
board news about an allocation of $20,117.33 for band
fund purchase orders. The typesetting gremlins were
apparently at work and the allocation should have read
for bond. Sorry Pirate Band. We tried.
Garrett Cramer mailed his letter to Santa in plenty of time for Christmas. He made his
list, counted it twice and tried to remember if he has been a good boy all year. Garrett
reminds local residents that there are only five shopping days left until Christmas.

Horticulture students in
Mannford High School have
gotten down to the basics in
learning. No longer confined
to a classroom and limited to
education in text books, they
are putting their knowledge
to work in the planting of
garden seeds in their green-
house for the first time.
The history of acquiring the
4,060 square foot structure,
dates back to three years ago
when it was a second-hand
federal grant. The dismant-
ling and rebuilding which
was necessary for moving
was completed by students,
making the building their gift
to the school by their con-
tributions in labor.
Currently, students are
seeding plants normally
grown in early spring and fall
garden crops, making prep-
parations for the seeding of
bedding plants for use both
at school and at home.
According to Claude Jones,
horticulture teacher, the
need for energy conservation
would prohibit the growing
of warmer weather and more
exotic plants. Only sufficient
heat will be used to prevent
freezing.
The structure is expected to
be used much more than just
for horticulture, according to
Jones.
