This year was one of decision making for the Board of Education. In August the members voted to enroll all students at Carver High in Levelland High School. Later in the year the Board decided that, beginning in September of 1965, Negro junior high students will attend LJHS and any Negro elementary stu- dent may attend any grade school if he lives in its district and desires to enroll there. Pettit Schools consolidated with the Levelland School System this year also as the result of an election decided by citizens' votes in both communities. l'Top rightl O. R. WATSON, pres. MRS. C. C.

A Da at LHS Begins . . . As the 8:30 bell rings, the students hurry to class and the daily round begins: class, bell, class, bell, class, lunch, class, and so forth. It isn't all monotony, though. Chemistry and physics labs are stimulating, and the foreign language lab provides a change of pace. Mrs. 0wnbey's classes type to musicg homemaking classes are always cooking some mouth-watering dish. Sometimes lunch is the bright spot of the day for a student! English classes see movies and listen to records! Speech classes are livened by speeches and skitsg the civics classes conduct the student council officers election. Actual experiences and work interest the vocational students, and P.E. is always en- j oyable. When one thinks of all the activities included in our classes, he realizes that the year isn't monotonous at all. ST UDYING is an important element of the dayg Mary Worley and Janice Ramsey find the library's books and quietness help- ful in some collaboration about Mrs. Winningham's latest assignment. AS THE LAST STUDENT leaves, the halls take on an unfamiliar silence. It is soon broken by a rehearsal, a meeting, or a dance, howeverg and another school day quickly follows that. ze.
