of the same arSferfint which
expired this year. Said Girbaeh: "There would have
been a much larger turnout
if the millage request had
been higher." Although eight
candidates were vying for
the two board seats, only
936 persons voted, as compared with more than 1,600
who turned out earlier this
year t o reject a proposed
bond issue for a swimming
pool.
Unsuccessful candidates
were Albert Gall, with 276
votes;   James Knight,   Jr.,
247; Allan Grossman,-242;
Mary Woods, 224; Daniel Lirones;'116; and Raymond
0&fint 32.
Girbaeh said today that he
is "pleased that the millage
passed. We are greatly in
need of it for operating. I've
been told that spine people
feel that the amount wasn't
adequate, but the board believed that was as much as
the people could afford." It
will cover, operations including salaries of new teachers
and teachers' raises, he said.
He added: "It was nice to
have so many candidates in
the race to bring out so ma-
ry different views and ideas,
some of which can be used in
the future. I want to thank
the people who had enough
confidence in me to vote for
me after I've been on the
board this long."
Coe said: "The number of
candidates in this election is
indicative of the interest and
concern in every area of our
school system. I am fully
conscious of the responsibilities, the decisions to be made
and   the   work   involved   in
