M ai t '* ilji.mis
The Warwick School Board at a special meeting Monday
night, adopted a $3,232,942. tentative budget for the 1969-70 school
year. No new or increase in present taxes are included in the
budget, although changes can be made before final adoption in
June. Therefore, the one per cent real estate transfer tax, the $5
per capita tax, the one per cent wage tax and the 56 mill property
tax remain unchanged.
There was some discussion at the meeting about increasing
the property tax slightly because the budget cans for a no ending
cash balance. However,, no formal motion was made.
Income
Two major income items allowed the hoard- to increase ex­penses,
but still bold the line on taxes.
Money from the state due to the passage of Act 96, which
increases teachers’ salaries, is expected to be up over fast year by
about $363,000. And, almost $224,000. income is expected when
the bond issue for the new middle school is sold. The money is
funds the school district has paid out for land for the new senool
and appears in the budget as a net increase in assets. ,
Expenses
The extra income offset two major increases in expenses.
First, a large increase over last year m teacher salaries oi about
$211,000. Tne new saiary scale for teachers, included in the bud­get,
is above the mandated minimum set by the state in Act 96,
Another major expense in the budget for the first time is
$376 000 rental for the new middle school.
The following is a revenue comparison with the last school
year showing the dollar amount and the percent change:
income Item $ Change % Change
Local $ 84,2i3. 4-6.6
State 38/,467.- - +33.5
Federal -400. -1,7
Decrease m assets* 161,o^a. +2o0 •'
* These dollars are a credit from investments of previous years
in the planning for new schools. This years “refund” covers ex­penses
for land for the new middle scnooi dating-back to 1965.
(Adding these amounts as part of the local tax eiiort makes the
iocai share of the 1969-19/0 budget 52.4%. This compares to 53%
for 1968-1869 and 52% for 196/-1868. Tins means Act 96 and its
funding has not produced any noticeable increase in tne state’s
percentage share of educational costs).

musical that was presented at

will be repeated for one
additional jierloi'mance fins Sat­urday

The decision to repeat, the

by Mr. Robert Kauffman,
the show’s director, after he had
consulted the administrai ion, the
faculty members who had work­ed
on the show, the orchestra
members, cast, and crews. .
“Ordinarily I would not even
consider a hold-over perform­ance,”
Mr. Kauffman comment­ed,”
but the response to this
show has been so great that I
am somewhat overwhelmed. I
believe that many people who
have already seen our show
would like to see it again, and
many others who were not able
to see it last weekend would
welcome the chance -to see it
this weekend.”
The show is the most lavish
production ever staged at War­wick.
Boasting a cast of 53 stu­dents,
the show uses ten com­plete
set changes on stage. In
addition, numerous scenes are
performed in front of the cur­tain
on a platform and two
towers built especially for the
show. The scenery was designed
and decorated by Mr. Charles
Sload ol the high school art de­partment
and was built by Mr,
David Hilbert, graphics teacher,
and the stage crew.
Accompanying the show is a
30 piece pit orchestra made up
of area school musicians and a
few key professionals.
Leads in the show arc played
by Terry Kepner as Gucvenere,
John Fahnestock as Arthur, Dav­id
Dei bier as Lancelot, Ted Ger­hart
as Pellinore, Joe Bender as
Mordred, Anita Gurney as Mor­gan
LeFey, Don MeClune as
Merlyn, Doug Gehinan as Tom
of Warwick, and Sue Workman
as Nimue.
The show is under the direc­tion
of Mr. Robert Kauffman.
Mrs. Jean Thomas of Manheim
serves as choral direotoress. Mr.
John Harrison, a music teacher
at Elizabethtown College, is the
musical director. Mr. Charles
Hornberger served as rehearsal
accompanist.
If the testimony of those who
saw the show is to be belived,
this show is a “must” for your
weekend entertainment. Tickets
will be on sale at the door. Re­served
seats cost $2.25. General
admission tickets cost $1.50,
