Superintendent of Schools James G. Huckaby has executed his tremendous responsibilities with the skill born of 35 years experience as an educator. He graduated from San Saba High School, has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas, and a Master of Arts from Sul Ross College in Alpine. He has been in Fort Stockton 23 years, including 12 as superintendent. He and his secretary, Mrs. Jeanne Shackelford, direct the various phases of the school system. Among his responsibilities are serving as the chief executive officer of the Board of Trustees and as the administrative head of all departments of the school system. He recommends the number and types of positions required to provide proper personnel for the operations of the school program; and nominates for appointment, assigns, and defines the duties of all personnel with the assistance of other administrators. A key man in the operation of our school is E. F. Triplett, Business Manager of the Fort Stockton Independent School District. He and his secretary, Mrs. Betty Vannoy, perform the vital duty of direction of the extensive financial business of the school district, which is two and one half times the size of the state of Rhode Island. 7

To Mr. Mac, We Proudly Dedicate the 1965 Panther Dear Mr. Mac, Eight years ago a stranger entered the halls of FSHS. None of us realized he would become endeared to the hearts of us all. Through hard work, fair judgment, understanding, and genuine interest in student and faculty affairs, he gained not only our respect but our friendship. This dedication is our way of saying thank you for eight wonderful years. The Panther Staff

School Operation Is Big Business SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS are Mrs. Philip Robbins. Sim Reeves, Jr.. Bert Kincaid. A. J. Jake Broyles, John L. May, George Pina, and Gerald Porter. NEWLY APPOINTED PRINCIPAL Joe Moring tries out the chair offered him by Ken McAllister, whose resignation was accepted with regret. Covering 3,006 miles and serving nearly 2,500 students, the Fort Stockton High School district is a tremendous operation. With an annual budget of more than one and a quarter million dollars, it is also big business! Behind the scenes, insuring smooth operation, is the Board of Education. At its head is A. J. Jake Broyles, who owns and manages farms throughout West Texas. Vice-president is Bert Kincaid, rancher and owner of a stock-feeding pen. George Pina, Secretary, is a printer and shop foreman of the Fort Stockton Pioneer. Others who give freely of their time to serve as members are Mrs. Philip Robbins, homemaker; Sim Reeves, Jr., rancher; John L. May, independent oil operator; and Gerald Porter, rancher. All are accustomed to seeking facts and making decisions. Thus they are able to oversee the operation of five schools, staffed by 173 employees including 116 teachers. This is, indeed, big business, and it could not operate smoothly and successfully without hardworking and dedicated School Board members.
