Good evening... .. nd on the local scene And in the local news tonight, we tune in to Red Oak, Texas. Estimated population of Red Oak at this time is 3,000. The city of Red Oak put up the first traffic light this year. The light slowed traffic and probably many wrecks that might have occurred at this four way inter- section. Red Oak also added many new businesses such as Delightful Donuts, Munchics Deli and Cards and More. These became popular places for students. Along with the city of Red Oak, Red Oak High School was making the news. The school has grown a great deal in the past few years. The enrollment was 450 four years ago and it was as high as 810 this year, pushing them up to 4A. John Sullivan, principal, was named Administrator of the Year by the Association .of Texas Professional Educators. He was selected on the basis of a scrapbook, applications and an interview concerning his philosophy of education. Also, the high school received their first bomb threat. Students had to sit in the football stadium' for over an hour. NHS students sold candy during this crisis. Congressman Joe Barton spoke to students in an assembly about past and present politics in April. He spoke of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Students asked him questions about .3 3 spolitics. The high school also had foreign visitors. Joerg Pfluger senior and Birgitte Hansen, junior, were exchange students. Joerg was from Germany and he stayed with English teacher Sandy Morton. Birgitte, from Denmark, stayed with the Worley family in Red Oak. Many clubs took field trips. The Science Club went to NASA in Houston. The Spanish Club visited museums and went to Spanish plays. Drama also went to see a play in Dallas at Dallas Baptist University and FT A went to a convention in Fort Worth. That's all for the local news tonight and that's how it was.
