Meetings were held at both the Alvo and the Eagle gyms to explain to the people of the community the need of such a plan and it's advantages. Trips were taken by the board and community members to visit other schools which had tried similiar plans to see how they were advancing. Reorganization also took place within the board itself. The new officers are: Wayne Weyers, Chairmang Ray Bowmaster, Vice- President, Marguarite Leaver, Secretary, and Harry Robertson, Treasurer.
