High School honor rolls for
the final marking period and
the semester were announced
this week, with a change in
the listing system; exact point
averages were not given. The
new procedure was explained
in the announcement, helow:
"The honor rolls for the third
marking period and for the semester follow the ranking pattern of graduation. With a double honor roll to figure, it is
difficult to rank students in the
same method used during the
school year."
"As at graduation, to be listed under WITH HIGHEST ACADEMIC HONORS, a student
must have carried a minimum
of four academic subjects and
have an A or A- average. To
be listed under WITH ACADEMIC HONOR, a student must
have carried a minimum of four
academic courses and have a B
or better average in those courses. The number of academic
courses carried was also considered in the ranking."
"To be listed under WITH
HONOR, a student must have a
B or better average in all subjects taken. Not included are:

Tourist Meets .
Unhappy End
A tourist on a flying visit
to Saline came to an unhappy
end, as indicated by a letter
received by city employee Ed
Warner this week.
The letter, signed by H. D.
Ruhl, chief of the game division of the Department of Conservation, said:
"Thank you for returning
duck band No. M34741 taken
from a duck which you reported having found dead in the
City of Saline park on May 24
of this year."
"Our records show that this
duck band was issued to Game
Haven Shooting Preserve near
Lapeer, Michigan. This band
probably was used during the
period from the fall of 1961
through the spring of 1962."
"The mallards used on the
shooting preserve are. ffee^fly-
ing birds, so it appears "that
this one took off to see the
world as it were;"- ••.*• ■■•-'"■ " r-

I Shelter Study
Finds Three
Sites Here
Saline has three locations sui-
i table for consideration as com-
'. munity Civil Defense shelters,
Col. Gerald Miller, county CD
director, reported in a letter to
the city this week. Two of them
are in the same" building — the
Intermediate School.
But even if all three were
used to their best capacity.."they
would provide shelter for'only
190 people. Saline's population
figure used in the study is
2334.
Col. Miller made the report at
the completion of phase I of
the current national shelter survey, designed to locate suitable
shelter spaces for public use,
and stock with supplies those
which meet minimum require-"
ments. The tabulation of sites
is now about half completed in
Washtenaw county, Col. Miller
said. Buildings which do \ not
meet minimum requirements
must be brought up to par —
either by the local government
or the private owner — before
they can qualify to be stocked^
The basement of Saline's Intermediate School meets the ne?
cessary requirements, according
to Miller, and was listed with
a "protection factor" of 100 to
149 in one section, and of 500
to 1000 in another. But "protection factor" has nothing to
do with the number of people
who could be sheltered; it i§'
determined on a sliding scale
with a maximum of 1000, and
less than 100 considered inadequate.
The Intermediate School
basement would shelter a* total of 56:; people-. *
Listed as" "possible" are two
other locations, the first floor
of the Intermediate "School, and
the basement of the Detroit Edison building. The school's first
floor, though it now is given a
protection factor of only 40 to
69, would accommodate 108
people. The Detroit Edison
basement would provide for 26
people, if its present protection factor of 70 to 99 were
raised to the required 100.
. No suitable buildings were
found in Lodi or Saline townships; but two suitable and two
potential ones were found in
Pittsfield township (total persons they would house: 131);
and one potential site was located in York township ~ Ypsi
State hospital.
In the entire county, 46 suitable buildings and 90 potential buildings were located, outside of the city of Ann Arbor.

Steiner Wins Third Term
On Board of Education
Calendar Watchers:
Bev, Chris Count Days
Two local girls have become
ardent calendar-watchers; they
can tell you at once how many
days, hours, and minutes remain between now and 9:30
p.m. next Wednesday.
They are Beverly Brown and
Christine MacDonald, who when
that long-awaited moment finally rolls around, will board a
plane at Detroit Metropolitan
Airport with the rest of the Michigan Chorale,, for a 7%-week
tour in Europe.
Bev and Chris will tour with
the famous Chorale for the first
time this year; as always, the
songsters will stay with local
families in the countries they
visit — Ireland, England, Holland, and Germany. In past
years, under the direction of
Lester McCoy, the Chorale has
sung its way into the hearts of
Europeans and South Americans alike.
Bev is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Harold Brown, of 257
S. Ann Arbor St. Chris is the
daughter'of Mr. arid Mrs. S. J,
MacDonald, of 9220 Sehill Rd.
Both were honor students at
Saline High School. Both graduated Thursday with the class
of 1962.
Now, as the day draws nearer,  both have  a  tendency  to
talk in jumps: "I just can't
hardly believe it ... . can't hardly? .. . well, can't." "I can
hardly wait ... we fly to Belfast . . . they keep switching
the amount of pounds we're allowed to take." "New clothes?
Well, as many as I could afford!" "I've been packing for
about six months!"
And: "We're going to climb
mountains in England ... I
didn't know there were any!
We have to climb them in dresses; we can't take informal
clothes like slacks ... we have
to take good walking shoes, as
you can well imagine!"
And: "I'm looking forward
to Ireland most ... the lake
country . . . the Giant's Causeway where a giant supposedly
stepped across . .. they said not
to take new clothes; things get
kind of rough!"
The Chorale will remain in
Belfast, in Northern Ireland,
until July 5. Then they will visit three English cities, Keswick,' Burton-on-Trent and Tun-
bridge Wells.
On' July 20 they will go to
Amsterdam in the Netherlands',
and then to Berlin and Olden-
berg in Germany. They will return to Amsterdam oh August
16 and Hy home.

Board of Education Secretary
Oliver Steiner was returned to
the board for a four-year term
Monday in a school election for

out.

Wiedman, of 7355 Warner Rd.,
by 14 votes.

RAY ANDRES
election tallies in recent years,
voters gave Steiner 101 votes
to Wiedman's 87. The vote represented only about half the
number cast last year when
three seats on the board were
open. A high percentage of the
voters Monday were rural, as
rain prevented outdoor work on
farms.

three-year terms. He is employed by the University of Michigan as a chemical demonstrator,
and lives at 7225 Saline-Ann Arbor Rd.
