The New
High School
When the doors of the new Nevada Union
High School opened Monday a new chapter
in Nevada County educational history
began.
Asa community, we have every right to
be proud of our new structure. We also
have a responsibility to aid in the landscaping program, and can expect the cooperation of civic-minded organizations in
taking their share of the task.
Students who moved into the new building this week no doubt have a feeling of
pride in it. School sprit this year should
be atanall-time high. The student council
has. already shown by work crews that the
students are eager to aid in work that is
yet to be done on the site.
We are sure the high school board of
trustees will be among the first to point
-out that there are additional facilities
needed to complete the new school. And
they willalsoagree that before many years
the school will need the planned expansiontobe abletohandle its proposed limit
of 1500 students.
Yes, we are proud of our new school. But
structures are only a vehicle for education.
Our school board must furnish the necessary equipment, our administrators and
teachers must give of their experience and
talent in bringing forth the full opportunity
to learn, and our students must take advantage of this opportunity.
The school spirit that we expect to see
exhibitedin extra-curricular activities
must also permeate the classroom.
In the final analysis, we want to be
proud of our graduates as well as the plant
in which they matriculated.

September SongIts'a long, long while from May to DecemberAnd the days grow short when you reach SeptemberAnd the autumn weather turn the leaves to flame..
These are notes on the busy summer of 1961 a summer
that was all too short...
Ruth is through with hg@r'd watching. Many
times I have written of her dedication to
her feathered friends. She is a member of
the Audubon Society. She has attended
could better understand their songs and
eating habits. She has fed the western
wood pewee and has protected the nest of
the bush-tit.It's like having your hand bit
by those you feed. Lack of gratitude, that's .
what it is. Now Ruth is through, THROUGH!
While walking in Union Square SF last
week, a City bird, a pigeon, scored a direct hit a bullseye!
Far and away the most facinating of our week-end
guests was a perfumed marcelled apricot blond hussey
who arrived at our redwood cottage wearing a chastity
belt. I assure you that it was not at all necessary, All
the Nevada City dogs are gentlemen. They may be
mongrels but they got manners. The dog predicure, the
trimmed pom pom tail and the jewelled collar was all
too much for Paddy. On Goco's arrival, the grandest
$375 French Poodle I have ever laid eyes upon Paddy
just took a look didn't wait around to sniff canine

about and we meet the films unending flow of corrupt
humanity the bored wealthy, neurotic film stars,
gigolos, prostitutes, hypocrites, homosexuals andfaise
intellectuals. z
The film is brilliantly cast and photography and
musical background are perfection. Two schools of
thought have quickly developed about this controvessial
masterpeice -is it a very immoral film or a very moral
film? You will have to decide for yourself. Word of
caution to the Grass Valley Movie Committee: Recommended for the mature adult only.
onions a real skill..I'll never forget. the
first time my German bride foldedthe dough
over the meat-potato-onion segments. the
monstrosity came out of the oven looking
exactly like a Shriner's slipper.
Movies? We viewed two memorable ones LA DOLCE
VITA AND FANNY,
LA DOLCE VITA is the
story of a young reporter in
today's Rome coverning a
series of parties and sensational events for a scandal
sheet. Violence, depravity ,
beauty, foolishness and emptiness are all portrayed. A
presumed miracle in which
twochildren who think they
have seen the Virgin is horribly exploited. As the hero
in the story pursues Rome’
upper and lower depths for
items cheap and gaudy (followed by a fiendish pack of
photographers) he is progressively swallowed up
in the sin that he writes
La Dolce Vita The Sweet Life
Is La Dolce Vita one of the ten greatest
pictures ever made? Or is it a phony? San
Francisco movie goers are trying to find
out by paying $32,000 a week and filling
two theaters twice each evening.
FANNY is a wonderful fable of love.
Here aré the young lovers Horst Buchholz
and Leslie Caron
FANNY isabig, cheerful, full of nonsense move withLeslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Charles Boyer and
Horst Buchholz. Chevalier is a wealthy merchant seeking a wife in the autumn years of his life. His friend,
Boyer, runsa wine shop on the water front and is a card
player for fun, and is the father of Buchholz, the lover
of Caron, Buchholz runsaway to sea unaware that he
has left Caron with child, Chevalier accepts the child as
his after his marriage to Caron. It's a happy fable of love
and the entire family should see it. The sound of the
movie is as appealing as the picture itself, photographed
in France in rich color, You hear the music but not the
words of "I Want You" as Caron's lover runs away to sea,
and "My Restless Heart" answering the mysterious call
of the sea, Those who enjoyed Fanny as a musical
comedy stage presentation will recognise "Love is A
Very Light Thing” and "Oysters, Cockles and Mussels” .
My sister Estelle Tracy gave the best capsule review
of FANNY said Estelle-"It was so wonderful I wished
it couldhave gone on for another hour". Any of you remember Estelle? She was Goddess of Liberty in the Nevada City 4th of July parade in 1916, She is just as
ptetty to-day as she was 45 years ago. Has been on the
office staff of St, Matthews Episcopal Church in San
Mateo for the past 25 years. Make the movie FANNY a
must when it shows at the Del Oro.
AState Park atthe Malakoff in the North
Bloomfield area could be one of the finest
things that ever happened to the merchants
of Grass Valley and Nevada City. The
Committee appointed by the Board of Trade
to look into the entire park possibilities
for western Nevada County is an excellent
one. The California Beaches & Parks program has something for everyone and every
area big locations small locations.
Spent two days in Mendocino County on
my vacation checking into their State Park
system. MendocinoCounty, that long ago
learned the good of going after progress
collectively like NC and GV can, has 11
state parks -a national forest-and a state
forest. Talktoany merchant in Mendocino
in any town and he'll tell you-without the
camper and the tourist "wecouldn't
survive."
My SF spies report quite a sight in Trader Vic's Hong
Kong Room, Who but PlazaGrocery merchant John Sbaffi, in SF for a Giants game sittin with aplomb and
splendor talking to Herb Caen about Nevada City and
being served for free by Trader Vic himself Vic's
special fresh scrod flown in from Boston,
Sothe summer ends. Andthe more things
change the more they are the same. Eons
and eons ago, even before Mary Clutter
Jones Wallis was a babe in the crib, Postmaster Wallace, inthe early evening hours,
used to play his horn on the porch of the
Red Castle on Prospect Hill the sweet
music would drift zephyr-like down into
town a sound that all was well in NC.
Now there is a new sound coming from almost the same spot on Prospect Hill-a
sound justas sweet and just as peacefulthe sound of bagpipes palyed so harmoniously by Dr. H.A. McPherson.
