Board puts Class C proposal on hold

The Unified Board of School Trustees, at a meeting Monday evening, decided, at least for the present time, not to petition the Montana High School Association to be moved from Class B status to Class C.

“The Board decided that Broadus should stay in Class B, at least for the present time. We’re looking at possible influx of students, and thought we would wait to see what happens,” said Broadus School System Superintendent George Bailey.

The Board will reconsider the proposed move next year, Bailey said. If indeed the proposal is made and accepted by the Montana High School Association, the move to Class C would not take effect until the 1992-93 school year.

By Bernice Canon

The ninth annual Quilt Show sponsored by the Stitch and Chatter Quilt Club of Broadus was a pleasant success.

Nearly one-hundred interested visitors and exhibitors made praising comments on the quality of the show.

Mechelle Allen won the Beginning Quilt Book for the drawing on the 12 inch block made by youths twelve years and under.

Interesting and educational demonstrations were given by Dorothy Edwards – Crazy Quilt and Carolyn Dusatko of Sandhills Sewing of Miles City - Machine Embroidery and Monogramming. Cynthia Saunders of And Sew On from Gillette, WY, showed how to piece the pineapple block. The last demonstration of the day was done by Mary Lou Craig of Gillette, called Kaleidoscope.

The Exhibitor of the Day award, a quilting book, was won by Edith Jones.

First place winners in each category were: Pat Parcell, Baby Quilt and Wall Hanging Division; Hallie Janssen, Bed Quilt; Laura Shook, Clothing; Audrey Flanigan, Pillows and Other Articles division.

People’s Choice top award went to Pat Parcell with her beautiful appliqué quilt.

Awards were given and pictures taken to close the 1990 show. Door prizes were given away during the day.

The Rail Fence Quilt completed for the Jaws of Life Project was won by Verna Jo Brewer.

The Stitch and Chatter Quilt Club will meet September 25 at 9:30 a.m. for the workshop “Ohio Star” at the Community Center. Members are to bring food items for a pitch-in salad bar. The workshop will be presented by Betsy Williams and Thelma Taylor.
