Adults Showed Devotion - Even Without Pay cc have a devotion to the education process, stated School Board member Eugene Youree. The Sherman School Board was the decision-making organization that consisted of seven non-paid members led by school adminis- trators. These adults governed many problems and issues that faced hundreds, if not thousands, of faculty, students, and families. To tackle such a responsibility, gratis, was unmistakably admira- ble. The School Board met the first Tuesday night of each month to address specific issues such as the drop-out rate, attendance and drug problems. The programs on the drop-out rate we've been implementing will definitely have a positive affect of the drop-out rate, said member John Kittrell. Also definitely having a positive effect were attendance initiatives offered to students during the month of October. Superintendent Dr. Beryl Mackey agreed, Our attendance has been better thus far than last year. Even though School Board members were not rewarded monetarily, their devotion and concern earned the respect of the community and the gratitude of the students. V Every school board member is very dedicated to a good education for all students, Herman Stoner Dr. Michael McDougal if 'ili MM i Assistant T Q .T ,- .

Controllin Traffic Inside Th l'm really pleased with this year's City I l v 1 students They ve done what we ve asked Tommy Hudspeth, Principal Q Principal Tommy Hudspeth. v After a hectic day at Sherman High con- trolling a student body of 1600, Mr. T. Hudspeth and Mr. L. Scott enjoy a brief moment of conversation, Limits Q Q herman High is like a little city, states Mr. Hudspeth. Crowded bathrooms are like Tom Thumb's intersection- too small to get in or out without risk- ing life and limb, pep rallies are like Christmas shopping three days before Christmas, and crowded hallways are like 5 o'clock traffic on Highway 75. In his second year here as city manager , Mr. Hudspeth ac- knowledges, lt is a big responsi- bility to take care of 1600 stu- dents under one roof. Why would someone want this responsibility? After twenty- eight years of coaching, I was ready for a change. I felt like I could use my coaching skills to be a good administrator. He said eight of those twenty- eight years of coaching were spent here in Sherman High as head football coach. In 1977, he lead the Bearcats to the Quarter- final District. After he left Sherman, he served as head coach in Mesquite for five years. Coming back to Sherman is like coming home to me, he said. C Mr. T. Hudspeth has no problem help- ing Sabrlna Walker since he has exper- ience as a coach and a superintendent. He really enjoys helping students whenever they need it.
