School Board Allows Extra Emanoipations The b i gg e s t job the school Trustees had this year was balanc- ing the finances and figuring the budget. These men gave unselfishly of their time without compensation. Their occupations were varied. The School Board has tried to be fair in all of their decisions. This year they were presented with a student's petition. Students be- lieved that they should be given more responsibilities. The Board members finally came up with their decision which gave students some of the responsibilities but with a limit. Mrs. Maria Herrera Secretary to Superintendent Mr. Strong and Mr. Byington look over Mrs. Edna Palmer's work as they discuss the year's budget. Pausing from their busy schedule, Mrs. Clara Negri and Mrs. Carmen Stanfield chat for a few moments.

Principle Deals With Problems Mr. Luce, Falfurrias High School principal, had many tasks through- out the whole year. Some of his many tasks were making out tardy and absentee slips. Along with mak- ing out slips, he coped with many problems brought up by students. One of the major problems Mr. Luce had to work out was the petition brought up by the students of Falfurrias High School. The peti- tion concerned the dress code of the school. He successfully changed the dress code, pleasing the many students who b r o u g ht up the petition. Mr. Luce had many problems concerning the students of Falfur- rias High School, but he worked them out for the good of all students.
