Three Spring Cove teachers, Miss Sandra Petersen, Miss Donna Weyandt and Miss Ann George were partners in the ownership of trotter horses named Triplet T Hint and Triple T Happy.

One bid for fuel oil was received by the Spring Cove School District. Gulf Oil Company said the price would be 14.32 cents per gallon, up from 12.35 cents from last term, with a warning that future prices would be subject to change due to the national fuel shortage. Oil would be limited to the amount purchased during the same time last year.
