In this system of free public education, our Board of Education is a good example of democratic representation and procedure. The members who comprise the Board receive no compensation other than the satisfaction of rendering services to the youth of Port Arthur. As a policy-making body, and the official body of the school district, the Board of Education has the responsibility of providing funds through the levying and collecting of taxes for the construction of school buildings, purchasing of supplies and equipment, and the maintenance and operation of all phases of the school program. The employment of all school personnel is clone by this organization through recommendation of the Superintendent. Members are elected for a two-year term. The Board elects its own president and vice president, the maior officers of the organization. The president appoints two or three members to each of seven standing committees: Executive ewhich is headed by the vice presidentD, Finance, Teachers, Supplies, Property and Building, Public Relations, and Health and Sanitation. Regular meetings are held each second Tuesday of the month and are open to the public and the press. MR. A. T. MILLER Our Principal I looked upon a sea and lo r'was deed Ail tributary streams found here their grave Because that sea received and never gave. -ANONYMOUS These lines perhaps describe better than any other the philosophy of our Principal, r. A. T. Miller, for it is his belief that education must be moving, living, and growing, else it dies of stagnation. One must so use the experiences gained that at the close of his high school life the habits of learning and growing will continue to challenge and stimulate him wherever he goes and whatever he does. Mr. Miller, a native of Fort Worth, Texas, is a graduate of Prairie View A8xM College, with a Bachelor of Science degree, and recently received the Master of Science degree in Education Administration from the University of Wisconsin. His eighteen years of experience in the field of educaV tion has been most diversified. He has been coach, and teacher of Mathematics, English, the Sciences, and, since 1947, principal of Lincoln School. An avid sports enthusiast, he finds his greatest relaxation in golfing and fishing. He is friend, counselorvalways available to those who need him despite the pressing administrative duties which claim so much of his time. That he is an advocate of the moral and spiritual advancement of our community can best be judged by the number of civic and religious activities of which he is an integral part. 1954; . 195.3. .

Probably the toughest resistance the Lincoln boys encountered in the district contention was against the Galveston Bearcats. The Bees and the Bearcats stood number one and two in the district, respectively, at this point. However. Coach Posey's split T manuevers finally paid off, enabling the Bees to ram their wav to a 12-6 victory and the DISTRICT 3AAA CROWN, CORPUS CHRISTI, Dec. 6 . . . BEAUMONT, Nov. 1 . . . A most graceful Bumblebee eleven ran, kicked, and passed to smother the Hebert Panthers 57-0 before a homecoming crowd of 5,000 fans. With this third straight conference win under their belts the Bees stood in number one position for the District Cham- pionship, with Yates of Houston and Central of Galves- ton tied for second. HOUSTON, Nov. 12 . . . Despite the frantic efforts on part of the Yates Lions, and the TD eariy in the first stanza, the Bumblebees rumbled forth to chalk up a 26-6 score and grab : strangle hold in the District 3AAA League. Two touchdowns and a conversion were scored in the first quartert Two more in the fourth period. PORT ARTHUR, Nov. 22 t . . A fitting climax to the ioyous homecoming festivities was assured when the Charlton Pollard tBeau- monD Bulldogs succumbed to the bombarding of the Bumblebees for a score of 50-0. Solomon Coles's Green Hornets' passing attacks literally passed the Bumblebees out of their chances at the State titleship by a score of 27-12 The Hornets had made it a 21-0 lead in the third quarter before the Bees were able to rally for an 80-yard scoring playt Then followed a fourth TD by Corpus, as a result of a pass interception to push the score to 27-6. But in the last minute the Bees, still fighting desperately, managed to score a n at h e r touchdown. However, it was too late to stop the Hornets and the game ended 2742. Daniels captures a Tiger in the Tiger- Lincoln affair. The Bumblebees ended the district play with an impressive 6-0 count, and possessed a 9-2 mark for the season.
