        The Proposed

School Consolidation


Consolidation seems to mean all
things to all people. However,
there are some things it does not
mean. It does not mean putting
all of the 5,000 pupils of one dis-
trict into ONE building. It does
not mean tearing down all the
existing buildings and trans-
porting all pupils to some un-
known, remote spot and putting
them under one roof.
This new district would have
about the same enrollment as the
Steubenville City Schools. Are
ALL of their pupils taken to one
location and placed in one build-
ing?
The existing buildings in the
three districts would have to be
used. Elementary pupils would
continue to use the same build-
ings for years to come unless
some    unforseen  catastrophe
should arise.
Many of the existing buildings
are nearly new. No one in his
right mind would advocate their
destruction merely to  build
others. School houses are built
for school purposes and do not

  The Wintersville Citizen Bowling Team of tMe Town and Country League at Sunset Bowl,
crushed all opposition in the Steubenville Womans Bowling Association Annual Tournament. The
Association is composed of teams from Steubenville, Wintersville, Follansbee and Wellsburg.
  The team, sponsored by The Wintersville Citizen, won out over 135 other teams and did this
  in convincing style, as they bowled an actual of 2608 and a handicap score of 3055 to score a
Grand Slam of both actual and handicap. This is a rare feat.
  Members of the Championship team are: (left to right) Jo Ann-Sample (514), Pat Maus (532),
Virginia Quattrone (586), Clara Blue (455) and Nancy O'Neil (521).
Virginia Quattrone led the Citizen team with a fine 586 series on games of 191-231-164.
This is Virginia's third year in a row as a member of the Championship team.
  The team menmbers will receive individual trophies at the Steubenville Womans Bowling Asso-
ciation Annual Bantuet.
  The Wintersville Citizen is quite proud of the girls and wishes to congratulate them on their
Championship.

That no careless act of mine
Shall take that gift away.
