James Bradley, am 20 years old. I was born in Manistique, Mich, and moved to Mackinac Island at the age of six. I graduated from Mackinac Island High School in 1970. I was married last April to Miss Loretta Cowell and am presently employed at Mackinac College. Being on a small island like Mackinac, our school has problems which many other schools never come across.

For several years now we have been trying to decide whether to send our high school students to the mainland or remain with our present kindergarten through twelfth grade system. When I graduated two years ago, it was the first graduating class in twenty years from Mackinac Island. Before that time our high school students ivere sent to the mainland. During that time our school had the highest drop-out rate in the whole state of Michigan. BRADLEY I feel that we can do better than that by having a high school on the Island, by giving it a chance to grow.

I honestly feel our students will grow and benefit from it greatly. It's hard to define a good board member and possibly there are too many wrong definitions. Personally I feel a good board member should always put a parent or student first. If a "troubled parent or student calls a board member with a problem, the board member should not take it in stride. I he should help by calling the superintendent or the president of the school board.

He might possibly bring the problem up before the board himself. Board members should also visit their schools while they are in session. I feel this will show the member many things including the relationship between teachers and students. This would also show students and parents that the school board does care about the community.

MYRTLE BUTTON Following is the statement of Myrtle Hutton, candidate for the Brimley Board of Education: Biography: Because Brimley had a good school, my aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs.

Robert Nelson moved to Brimley. I graduated from Brimley High School, received a teacher's life certificate from Eastern State University, a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master of Arts degree from. the University of Michigan. I taught in rural schools at Payment. Iroquois Point Lighthouse, Bay Mills Indian Reservation, Wynn School and Raco and also thirty- nine years in the Brimley Public Schools.

Views: The local school districts ought to be able to control their own schools through the school boards they elect to represent them. However there has been an alarming shift from local to state and federal control. The more centralized the control, the harder it becomes for the people to change conditions which may seem ideal to someone in an ivory tower at Lansing or Washington but are really detrimental to the growth of the child. We cannot contend that a local school district should be forced, against its will, to consolidate with a larger, school district unless we believe that the Soviet Union was justified- in over Lithuanea and Estonia. If.

children are herded into larger and larger schools until an individual child is merely a number in a teacher's classbook, we can expect 'to have more and more problems. The rich send their children to small private schools, but the majority of the children are forced to attend the public schools. Schools should be small enough for every child to know other children well and to have at least one teacher to whom he is important as an individual. If children are to grow tall and strong, loving and respecting others because they love and respect themselves, they must develop in an atmosphere of mutual love and respect under the guidance of teachers who "gladly learn and gladly teach" and with parents and teachers who love them enough to discipline them. Myrtle Hutton Following is the statement from Mary Beth Coon, candidate for the Sault Area Board of Education: Hello, let me introduce myself.

My name is Mary Beth Coon. I am a native of Michigan and now reside at 1200 Superior Street in the with my parents Mr. and Mrs. Tom Coon. I graduated from Sault High as an honor student in 1964.

The Board of Control Scholarship to Northern Michigan University at Marquette was awarded to me. I graduated from Northern in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science Degree.

Meta S. Geyer Secretary, Board of Education MARY BETH COON College where I still enjoy my teaching position. My fellow educators at the College paid me the honor of electing me to the Faculty Senate this year. Many of you may associate my name with the Sault Summer Swim Program. I have been involved in youth recreation programs since 1963.

I organized and directed the summer recreation program at Michigan Technological University in Houghton for a number of years. Two summers ago. when our new pool was ready for operation, I organized the Sault Summer Swim Program and directed it. I love working with children and feel I am young enough to bridge any generation gap between students and mature enough to understand the present difficulties of the teachers, being one myself. I have tried to the best of my ability to aid the community.

I have served, since 1969, on the American Red Cross Board. The Pierre Marquette Division of the Red Cross in Milwaukee honored me with an Outstanding Achievement Award. I am a member' of the Business rind Professional Women and recently was elected to a state office of that organization. I was selected, and my name appears in the book ''Outstanding Young Women America" in 1971. I attend St.

Joseph's Church of the Sault and, at present, serve on its Liturgical Commission. If elected to the Board of Education on June 12, I feel I can greatly contribute to its successful operation, for my life is dedicated to education. I have a new and young approach to old problems. I endorse the present millage 'or one year and feel from the federal and state governments we will soon be seeing tax reform laws to assist education. My principle reason for being a candidate to the Board of Education is to try and give the Sault Area Schools the right to be the best anywhere in Michigan.

Mary Beth Coon WILES Following is the statement of Robert Wiles, candidate for the Rudyard Board of Education: Education is one of the major responsibilities that a community may provide to the students of that community no matter what their age. The Rudyard Area School System is among the finest rural systems in the state when it comes to facilities, administration, and staff. Many of the ac complishments Oi the system are due to a conscientious school board that was capable of establishing policies that were manageable. Th's development of policy and provision of adequate facilities are the major 'board responsibilities as I see them. Competent administrators and staff, open communications, and rational decisions will go a long way in providing a successful program.

I believe that my experience of teaching in the Rudyard School system (1P64-67), livingV in and knowing the since working for the In-' termediate school district 1S6S, being associated with state, school operations, and being concerned, interested citizen qualify me for a position on the board of the Rudyard Area Schools. If you are a qualified voter in the Rudyard Area School. District and you want have someone with educational experience, youth, interest, and desire serving and your district needs then vote for P.obert W. Wiles. In any event, Vote June Robert Wiles SCHMIDT Following is the statement from Paul J.

For the past 7 years, I have been manager Neale Wholesale Electrical Supply, formerly Jorgensen's. We are also Organic Dairy Farmers.
