Area schools show ee Nevada county schools are having growing That is the general consensus following a recent survey of all the area schools. However, this should come as no surprise since the area population has increased by leaps and bounds since the'1970 census — 25.3 per cent. And, according to a recent survey by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the population will jump another 4.1 per cent before Jan. 1, 1976. Current population figures reveal 31,700 people; the 1976 prediction would boost that figure to 33,000. This comes, despite a general statewide slowdown in the home construction industry. Joseph Thoman, principal and teacher at Chicago Park ‘School, says his district has more than doubled in the past 10 years, as has San Juan Ridge District. Chicago Park’s present enrollment is 101 students, as compared to 96 in October of 1974 and only 44 in 1964. Thoman explained an “addition must come if the present rate of growth continues,” adding that the district hired a fourth teacher last year. He feels that when schools “become too . cramped, they turn into factories and teachers are unable to do an effective job of teaching.” L San Juan Ridge, formerly the Cherokee and North San Juan Districts, boasts an enrollment of 124, compared to 55 in 1964. The current figure is down one student since October, according to a spokesman for principal Pietro Milano. Another dramatic upsurge since the active enrollment report of Oct. 1, 1974, falls in the Nevada City School District which now has 1,016 students as compared to 988 in October. That is an increase of 22.1 per cent since 1964 when the district had 832 students. The district, which currently consists of Nevada City Elementary. School and Seven Hills School, has proposed an override election for May. If approved, it will be used to construct a six-room complex to relieve the overcrowded situation. . Superintendent Dan Woodard recently informed the board that ‘‘a minimum of four classrooms is imperative.” Projected preliminary costs would be about $396,000 for the six additional rooms. Woodard also told the group that “every class is overloarded and growing steadily,” with a conservative projection of 1,030 students at the end of the current school year in June. A spectacular jump in enrollment is shown in the Pleasant Ridge Union School District. Their present enrollment is 546 students, compared to 522 in October and 218 in 1964 — a growth of 150.5 per cent in 10-years. District voters okayed a 25-cent override in November for additional facilities. According to David Knapp, tendent, seventh and eighth grade classes, principal-superin' -consisting of 150 students, will be moving into the old Arvin Elmer Stoon building in September. Still another district with a great increase in the past 10 years is Union Hill. Principal James Mansinne said the present enrollment is 199, down from 202 in October but up from 163 in 1964. “We hope to break ground for our four new rooms before June,” Mansinne said, referring to a school addition okayed by voters in November when they approved a $225,000 bond “ issue. : Pleasant Valley District now boasts enrollment of 70 students; down from 87 in October but up 141.4 per cent from the 29 students in 1964. They are asking district voters to approve financing, on the March 4 ballot, for an additional ' ‘building to house their youngsters. “We are at capacity now,” said principal Edward Reier. Enrollment has nearly doubled in Clear Creek District, according to principal Sars Clifford, who advised they are now building three additional rooms. Their present enrollment is 42 and was 36 in October. Facilities housed 24 students in 1964. The big number at Ready Springs School is 305, according to principal-superintendent William Lock, . who said they are “having growing pains, as are all the other districts.” Their enrollment is down slightly from the October figure of 310 but up sharply from the 172 students they had in 1964. ‘‘We lost a few over the holidays but we will be getting more,” Lock said. Washington School enrollment does not appear to differ much over the years. Their current figure is'14, down one since October and down three during the past 10 years. The one-room school is presently being remodeled with new rooms being added, in order to comply with the earthquake field act. According to a spokesman at Superintendent Gerald Gelatt’s office, enrollment at Nevada Joint Union High School District is 1,945 students in the ninth through the 12th grades, as compared to 2,947 in 1964. The difference in figures is attributed-to the fact that the district no longer operates a junior high school. , Enrollment is comprised of ninth grade, 544; sophomores, 512; juniors, 442; and 317 seniors. This district was another that received voters’ approval for a $5 million lease measure to expand facilities in November. Enrollment at the Empire Continuation School is 130 students. A spokesman for the Grass Valley School District relayed figures showing a moderate climb in enrollment. The district, comprised of Bell Hill, Lyman Gilmore and Hennessy Schools, has total enrollment of 1,524 compared with 1.514 in October. In 1964 the district had 1,221 students, however seventh and eighth graders were attending a junior high school so were not included in the reflections. Bell Hill has 238 students; Lyman Gilmore, 586, and Hennessy 700, according to Superintendent Herbert, Ambrosius. Allin all these figures show that Nevada county’s growth is on a continual climb, even though some districts in more metropolitan areas of California have been forced to close some of their facilities because enrollment has decreased drastically since 1964.

Boating increases Any worry about the economic situation apparently has not deterred pleasure boating in California, said State Motor Vehicles Director Herman Sillas who noted that the number of registered pleasure craft in 1974 increased at a greater rate than in previous years. Sillas announced that pleasure boat registrations at the end of 1974 totalled 483,315, up 22,020 over the 1973 — figure. Registration increases in the past five years have totalled less than 20,000 annually. “Scarcity and higher prices of fuel didn’t frighten anyone away, either,’’ said Sillas. “Only 6500 of the new registrations were sailboats and auxiliary craft.” Total vessel registration in California at the end of 1974 reached 498,204, up from the 475473 at the end of 1973. In addition to pleasure craft, the total registration count includes commercial vessels, government equipment and dealers’ and manufacturers’ craft. The year-end DMV data on vessel registrations shows that /more than half of the craft registered in the state, 283,879, are under 16 feet in length while 182,302 range in length from 16 to 26 feet. More than 24,000 range up to 40 feet in lergth and 3,200 are up to 65 feet. Only 95 vessels registered in the state are over 65 feet long. Sillas also pointed out that plastic is by far the most popular boat building material in the state with over 266,000 registered vessels in that category. Wooden hulls lag far behind with only 104,000 while aluminum, -steel and other material .account for the balance. The Department statistics, which include everything from outboard motors to jet boats and canoes, show that outboards are the most popular motive power with over 300,000 registered. vessels. Inboard-outboard combinations have reached a par with straight inboards at 50,700 each and there are now over 12,000 of the recentlydeveloped jet boats registered in California. A $2 registration fee is collected annually by DMV for each of these vessels. Wed.,March 12,1975 The Nevada County Nugget 7 huge growth — a, CLASSIFIED ADS 10. Crafts and Services ROBERT L. ROSS, JR.
