Students and Citizens Cooperate in ABC With the memory of defeat of the bond issue in 1967, the Citizens Committee formed the Action for Better Classrooms Committee to publicize and to promote the bond election that was held on May 20. Mr. Don Hinton was elected Chairman of the Committee and Diane Livengood was chosen as secretary-treasurer. An executive council was also elected to discuss suggestions for promoting the ABC. Students and citizens worked hard together to help cultivate action for a better RE2 District educational system. Poster Parties were held by the students to make signs for the store windows. The senior class donated $100., to the ABC fund, Thespians gave $50., Rainbow Club gave $25., and many other clubs also contributed as did business establishments in Brush. Members of the faculty made a video tape of the decrepit conditions of the schools. This tape was shown at different town and school meetings. The ABC committee also set up a hot line which the citizens could call for further information.
