WRIGHT BRINGS NEW LEADERSHIP TO DISD Coming from an assistant superintendents posi- tion with the Houston ISD, Linus Wright assumed duties as General Superintendent in December. Of immediate concern to Mr. Wright was the top- heavy central staff which he has planned to reduce through retirement and reassignment. The students are our most important natural resource, stated Mr. Wright. We have a moral obligation to serve them to the very best of our ability. Mr. Wright felt immediately at home on Ross Avenue, and commended the 14,000 DISD employees for continuing their work without interruption. Right: General Superintendent Linus Wright speaks to a fac- ulty meeting concerning his goals for the DISD.

WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF THE 'GFZOVEH' Representing Pleasant Grove and Spruce High School on the Board of Education is Mr. Gerald Stanglin. Mr. Stanglin teaches political science at Abilene Christian University at Dallas and at Rich- land College. He is a long-time resident of Pleas- ant Grove who believes we should be proud of our heritage and strive to show the world what we can do. In response to educational concerns, Mr. Stanglin said: I think the BOAT test points out some areas of need that we can concentrate on. We will not bring our expectations down, but will encourage each student to reach his greatest potential. Principal R. J. Robinson also showed concern over the BOAT, stating that one of his educational objectives for Spruce was that a better percentage of students pass the BOAT. Mr. Robinson commended our business commu- nity for assisting us throughout the year, and assures us that we have a great educational insti- tution for both the vocational and college prepar- atory student. l -
