Cartoons: ' Qlor/aSm/lh Suff Writer*: Faye Rogers, Vincent Fortunato, Thomas Tuna, Jeannetle Caines, Jim McBride ONE OF THE HIGH SPOTS o t our week was the F.H.S.

It was not the T ^ Y SAVAIAS’ autograph we received (we already had one ■e e magnetic TV and movie great bestowed on Editorial When only 12% of the parents of Free port's school stiiden^ sent in-fteir **in- stnictional materials fees* * by cariy last week; the Board of Education could feel.that the . : fnistradon and anger had turned into a firm ness that transcended those few who had— 7 used the sttuaBoh for p o li t ic puiposds.l^TST” to pay and so on two scores it is inequitable tioation.

We’re hold ing that photograph untU next week, so all you Broems fans {and we are finding out they are legion) can see it while enjoying her columnl Look foe it In our issue of Oct. 21...Telly came with his side-kick from the “ Kojack” show, whom Freeporters remember as VINNIE GROSSO (class of 1950). Present also was TV sports commentator DICK SCHAPP, '51. Present Supt. of Schools DON CO S H O W sat among his former students reminiscing of the. days h e was a teacher at the school (which was then the now Junior High Sdtool, before the renovatioQ}. Other teachere present were COACH A SB1£T and MR. AUGUSTINE, who had been ^ a ir m a n o f the Healdi Department. They came as far aw^y as Florida and Denver and as near a s Freeport, Those we rccog- nired (but not from their yearbo<A pictures...oooh,. how they’ve changedi) were MARTHA CORDARO OESALVO, DICK MULDOWN- NEY, RICHARD MTITHAUER, FRED SCALAMANDRE, LES HELDSA, PAUL PEREZ, WALTER PEIERSON, ANTHONY PUMA* VERA, TED PORKER, BOX WHIIE, KEN COMBS, WES CARMAN and AUDREY HENDBlCKSON».»not all were the class of ’SI, but near to them. a ^ b l e and respons&Ie group of education- caring ihdividuais, bad begtm asking ques tions several months before and now in both letters and conversarioss with Board .mem bers and administration officials appeared to . show an unwillingness to accept the fee T ^ final blow, appeared to be a ’’show cause'* order (sec THE LEADER, Oct. 7) whidi named Freeport, two oUier school districts, County ;(pomj^sioner o f Soda!

While we do not like fee payments and find neither them nor austerity any solution to the problems of taxpayers, we are not happy with the. School Board's dedsiori. - - We had rather hoped that a court case could ^ U l t in a . jandmaH: legal. decision • which would throw h u t the property tax as a basis for funding dlucatipn. The property tax is p e r t l y not, and can never be con- , sideriW,' a fair tar hased upon a person's ^ i l ^ to pay. It has c a lled poor districts to . go oh austerity ani^or cut-the education ' .they can offer to their young. It is also not based upon an indmdual taxpayer's.ability and next year's supplies— prodded a budget passes. ; If the School District finds itself able to pay for the inMiuctional. supplies out of this year's austerity budget, it will lead to.smne increased lick of credibility. After all, yrith two^udget defeats'before the final one, ih e - public had yelled loud and clear, ’‘tighten your belts, as we are doing.\ If the ^ o o V District finds the $150,000 needed or finds they don't need that mnc£, they could have so determined those fects badk in August. And what wfll happen next year? If School Districts back down this year and no dedsion is reached in the court case already being heard for tiie pari few months, where are we then?
