A Mr. E. B. Masur, Superintendent MR, E, B. MASUR is responsible for maintaining the accred- itation of the Mathis School system, a rating which is very im- portant in the supervision of any school. Since he became Su- perintendent in 1959, the scholastic enrollment in high school has increased from 190 to 330, This condition has raised the Mathis Schools to AA in the Univ ers ity interscholastic League. Mr. Masur received his Bachelor of Arts Degree and his Master's De- gree in Education from Howard Payne College. EACH SCHOOL SYSTEM must have a motivating force to insure operation. The School Board accomplishes this require- ment. It consists of seven members who file their name for bal- loting and are elected by the people. An election is held every year and two new members are elected. The length of their term is three years. In regularly scheduled monthly meetings, the board works for precise planning to benefit the students and welfare of the school. MR. CHARLIE MILLER is greatly appreciated by the student body of Mathis High School because of the interest he shows toward students, helping to guide them in becoming good citizens. He serves as advisor for the Student Council and aids in planning for extra curricular activities. This year Mr. Miller has approved student projects which helped to supply fans and lecture stands for the classrooms. Mr. Mil- ler has served in many professional organizations and is a past pres id ent of the San Patricio TSTA f1961-621. Mr. Miller received a Bachelor's Degr ee from Howard Payne College in 1949 and a Master of Sci- ence Degree from Texas A. Sr I. in 1956.

The guiding force behind all activities of the Mathis Independent School District was the seven-man school board. Each of these men filed for election and was elected by popular vote. The school board sponsored a bond election to build extra school buildings which were finished this year. The faculty of Mathis High School includes three Masters degree teachers, thirteen Bachelors, and of these Bachelors, five have hours toward their Masters. The curriculum at Mathis High School has been re- inforced through several recent improvements. Among these is a new science building, including lab and equipment, a new Vocational Agriculture building and equipment. A gre at help this year was the use of the DA-MASTER television, a self-contained film viewer, This was used in the social studies, science, and P.E, departments to illustrate points in discussion.
