"The night of the 14th I had gone to bed early, but I was awakened (at 11:40 p.m.) when the vibration of the engines stopped. I put on a heavy coat and shoes and went out into the passageway.

I ran into a steward and asked what was wrong. He pointed to the watertight doors and told me that if anything had happened they would be closed. "I went into the salon and there were some men there playing cards and one of them said, 'Hey, blondie, what's the matter with One of them said the ship had grazed an iceberg and they went on playing." Mrs." MacKenzie started back to her cabin, but came across a ship's officer who told her to put on a lifebelt, leave everything behind and get up on the boat deck. She aroused Miss Keene and went topside with a toothbrush and a prayer book. "I was surprised to see that almost all the boats had been lowered.

There was an old couple and they refused to leave each other. I learned later it was Mr. and Mrs. (Isidore) Strauss. There was a man there with a baby that wasn't his.

I jumped into the lifeboat and they lowered the baby to me. "There were a few men in the boat and they pulled away toward a light in the distance. Then the Titanic went down and there was this scream of death, worse than any siren. A mate told us to scream, too, to drown out the sound and we did. That sound still haunts me in my dreams." i SI Ph 6437861 NOW SHOWING SO PRIVATE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT 6RAND PRIZEWINNER' TERROR FILM FESTIVAL.

JV Board (Cont'd from Page 1) "The, major exception is that a sum of $65,000 has been the high school addition and renovation project. If the project goes forward, the architectural fees which need to be advanced will be returned to the district when the bond issue is sold." The budget for the current fiscal year is $1,895,000.

When calculating revenues for the coming year, Dr. Meyers figured on a. state subsidy of $750 per weighted average daily membership. There is a bill in the state legislature that proposes raising the subsidy to $900 per WADM. "If such funds become available," said Dr.

Meyers, "that will be a pleasant surprise." Using the $750 per WADM subsidy figure, Dr. Meyers projects a budget deficit for 1977 78 (despite the tax increase) of $217,095. tf the state subsidy Is increased to $900 per WADM, the projected deficit will be in the neighborhood of $82,000. The tentative budget will be open for public inspection for one month. The final budget and tax schedule will probably be adopted during the May board meeting, or by June at the latest.

The fiscal year ends on June 30. Huggler Resigns In a tersley worded letter to the board, High School Principal Elmer Huggler announced that he plans to resign his position as of Oct. 1, 1977. During a special meeting In March, Huggler was given a $1,000 pay raise, retroactive to the beginning of the current fiscal year. At the same Dr.

Meyers was authorized to advertise applications for the principals' position. Offer Rejected The board voted unanimously to stay on record as insisting on a convention of the four county school boards to discuss the proposed county vo tech school's administrative structure. The board wants the convention to be held prior to adoption of the 1977 78 Vo-tech budget. Several questions were raised at last month's regular board meeting concerning the duties of the school's director, the assistant to the director, the coordinator of guidance services and the coordinator of diversified occupations and distributive education. Juniata Valley Director Donald who resigned at the close of last month's meeting, wondered whether the administrative set up at the vo tech school might be "top heavy." Evans' field is vocational education.

At this past Tuesday's regular meeting of the County Vo tech Joint Operating Committee, it was suggested that Juniata Valley's questions might better be answered in a private work session between the Committee and the Juniata Valley directors, rather than in a convention of all 36 of the county school board members. The Juniata Valley directors, however, were rather suspicious of that "ploy," and reissued the call for a convention. A time and place for such a convention would have to be worked out among the four county boards. Drawings Okayed Dr. Meyers reported that the high school addition and renovation project revised drawings have been finally approved by the state Art Commission.

Because of the revisions in the drawings, the board will have to apply to the Department of Education for a revised room schedule. The room schedule will indicate portions of the project are eligible for cost reimbursement from the state. Dr. Meyers also supplied the directors with a revised cost 643-6182 HUNTINGDON PLAZA ROUTE 22 HUNTINGDON FREE PARKING NOW THRU TUESDAY!

The $1.16 million estimate was supplied this past Nov. 8. Since then, inflation, as well as a number of changes and additions to the project have produced the cost increase.

Project architect Robert Suckling of Rea, Hayes, Large and Suckling, Altoona, believes that the $1,204,000 estimate will hold up "for the next six months or so," He has informed Dr. Meyers that he can have final drawings ready for bid by June or early July. Tax Exonerations Dr. Thomas Woodrow, board president, outlined the school district's position on tax exonerations, particularly for students enrolled in institutions of higher learning. The district has set income guidelines for exonerations, as follows: single persons earning less than $2,600 per year, or married couples earning less than $3,200 per year will be excused from paying the occupation per capital taxes.

Those guidelines are not ironclad, howeVer. The board need not excuse any person from paying the tax. Although some students may have been excused from paying the tax in the past, the district took the position this year that no person would be exonerated simply because he or she is a student. Exonerations are granted to persons for whom paying the taxes represents a true hardship. Woodrow added that people who apply for exoneration run the risk of paying the five per cent penalty if they are not excused from paying the taxes.

Superintendent Search The personnel committee reported that all preliminary interviews of applicants for the Superintendent's position should be completed by April 23. The committee hopes to be able to recommend a candidate, or at least offer the board a choice of not more than two or three possible candidates, by the May meeting. Board member Stewart BroWn was appointed to fill the personnel committee vacancy created by Donald Evans' resignation from the board. In a related matter, the directors were asked to come up with nominees to fill the vacant board seat by the May meeting. Calendar Adopted The school calendar for 1977 78 was adopted last night.

Dr. Meyers explained that the calendar was designed to coordinate as closely as possible with the calendars of the other school districts, for maximum cooperation in vo tech scheduling. The first day of school will be September 7, and the last day will be June 5,1978. Christmas vacation is listed as beginning Dec. 26, but that is because Christmas is a Sunday this year, and the-first day off from school will be Monday the 26th.

In other business, the board: agreed to subscribe to intermediate Unit li's computer services for payroll accounting, at a cost of about $1,882 per year, and added Mary K. Martin (home economics and art) and Carol A. Weyer (health and physical education) to the substitute teachers list. Attending last night's session were directors Brown, Chester Smith, John Beaver, Samuel Rishel, Glenn Metz, Clifford Hawn, Donald Broadbent and Dr. Woodrow.

Also present were Dr. Meyers, Huggler, Elementaf Principal Hayes Silvey and sollcitorJackSchock. Brush Fire Extinguished A brush fire of un-l determined origin yesterday burned approximately one half acre along the Penelec right of way near the old Saxton power plant. The alarm was turned in at 3 p.m., and the Saxton Fire Company responded with 15 volunteers, two pumpers and one equipment truck. Firemen were on the scene for approximately 45 minutes.
