Committee
To Interview
Site Owners
Saline Area Board of Education met Monday evening with
representatives of Binda Associates, architects for the proposed new elementary school
here, and visited all seven of
the locations under consideration for the school.
No decision was made as to
location, and the architect has
expressed no preference as yet,
Leo Jensen, School Superintendent, said.
The Board appointed a committee of its members — Dean
Burkhardt, Hugh Austin, Oliver Steiner, and Jensen — to
interview owners of the property under consideration. Two of
the sites are on the present
High School property. Others
are located behind the cheese
store, behind the present city
water tower, at the end of Highland Drive, north of Bennett
Street, and on Clark Street.
Another meeting with the architect will be called when the
committee is ready to report on

Helene Monaghan, the Saline
school system is going to seem
as flat as a bottle .of stale pop.
She will retire at the end of
this school term, after 41 years
of teaching.
Since she was 17 years old,
she has added sparkle to the
lives of approximately 1,200
students. For the past nine
years, she has taught at the
Intermediate School here.
She was born Helene A. McGinn, in Ann Arbor, and lived
at Dexter where she graduated
from the Dexter High School.
She received her bachelor of
science degree and took graduate work at Michigan State
Normal College, in Ypsilanti.
She wrote her teachers exams when she was 17 and, at
18, began her career in a school
near Dexter where her parents
had been students and her mother had taught. Later she
taught at Bridgewater'Station
School (where she had 50 students), Schumacher School in
Bridgewater Township, Short
School, and then '£>ell and Benton Schools. When the. Saline
Elementary School opened in
•1955, she came here.'. ^
.. Memories bubble up through
"the years:
"One of my happiest memories occurred on October 1, 1962
- I shall never forget my boys
and girls in my fifth grade, who
gave me a royal welcome back
to school after my absence of
two weeks in the hospital."
At one of the rural schools
(she no longer recalls exactly
which one) she was paid an extra $10 a month for "janitor
services" during the winter.
"While   teaching   at   Dell
School, there was a big snowstorm. The next day, while the
sleighing was good, Mrs. Albert
Bredernitz came to the school
with a team of horses and bob
sleigh and took us all on a
sleigh ride. On the way back we
stopped atl her home and were
treated to hot chocolate and
cookies."

Staffers, Hospital Auxiliary members, and Pittsfield
Grange members are understandably proud of the arm operating table purchased for Saline Community ..Hospital by
the.Auxiliary and the Grange. The newly-installed §200 piece
"of equipment is the latest of numerous gifts to the hospital
from the Auxiliary, and the first in which the. Grange participated. And there's more to come. The Auxiliary has au-
thorizd purchase of a $50 baby scales for the nursery, a §900
diathermy unit, a $400 emergency room stretcher, and additional surgical instruments. Ray Anderson, hospital administrator, will buy these items this month in Chicago,
while attending Tri-State Hospital Assembly. Funds for the
equipment are raised through card parties and the Auxiliary's annual smorgasbord.
Shown examining the new table, used for arm surgery
in the hospital's operating room: Dr. Fulton Taylor, surgeon-
member of the S.C.H. staff, Mrs. Robert Barnes, Mrs. Erwin
Frederick,. Mrs. Frank Riggs, Mrs. Robert Henry and Anderson.
The Auxiliary during the current '63-'64 fiscal year has
spent or allocated over $1,500 for S.GH. equipment purchases.
