Although Mr. McAllister smiled when he registered the many new students, behind the smile was a headache brought on by the consequentially crowded conditions. ANOTHER YEAR BEGINS Once more Fort Stockton High School comes to life. The halls echo the talk of400or more students. But the preparation for the '59-' 60 school year began in the middle of August. The band began its practices; the football team started its workouts; and the Panther Staff gave its autograph party. Mr. Mac has always had trouble with registration, and this year it was even worse with the flood of new students. He might not have got through without the able assistance of Mrs. Faulkenberry, his newly-added secretary. The many clubs are reorganizing, and officers for the coming year are being elected. The Science Club is larger than ever, and other organizations such as the Player's Club, the Spanish Club, and Library Club are forging ahead. Not many days passed until the students relaxed into their bad habits, such as leaning against the cars, and never cracking a book. Yes, the 1959-60 school year is really under way in Fort Stockton High School. 8
