GRADUATION SPECIAL
To parents of 1975 Graduates
We will not be making photographs
at the graduation ceremony.
Although our das* was small,
we had a tot of enthusiasm.”
The two are Mrs. Knox. who
taught Lomas in the fourth
grade in Aikman Elementary ,
and Mrs. Tipps, who Lomas
remembers from the eighth
grade in Stanton Junior High.
Lomas said that he was ready
for school when he began the
first grade, and was not scared.
He stressed the amazing growth

George pointed out that the
Gass of 1975 has been a smaller
one than most here throughout
its high school career, and
added that early in the year
there was concern about the
ability of the senior class to
provide the leadership essential
to a successful school year.

the leadership capabilities of
this class at first, but during the

Lomas said that one of the
most outstanding aspects of
the school system here is that
the teachers really try to help
the students. He said all of his
teachers have been good, but
that two in particular stand out
in his memories.

of the Hereford school system
during his 12-year tenure here.
The Hereford school system
does an excellent job of
preparing youngsters for the
future. Lomas says. The new
courses added in recent years in
the school system here helps in
this preparation, he said.
"Graduation from high school
is a big highlight, and I’m really
ready to graduate, ” Lomas said.
One of the main changes in
the school system during the
past twelve years has involved
the additions of several new
schools to the system, Lomas

What’s invisible, usually
doesn’t hurt a bit, affects
millions of Americans, is
controllable, yet when left
untreated can cause stroke,
heart failure or kidney disease?
The answer, says the State
Health Department, is high
! blood pressure—or hyper-
tension. The State Health
Department is helping call
attention to this problem in
May, designated as High Blood
Pressure Month.
Uncontrolled high blood
pressure is a major national
public health problem. It is the
primary cause of 60,000 deaths
in the United States each year.
And, says the National In-
stitutes of Health, it is a con-
tributing factor in 1,500,000
heart attacks and strokes that
occureach year in this country.
An estimated 23 million
Americans, or about 15 per cent
of the adult population, have
high blood pressure. That’s one
in seven adults, not only in
Texas but throughout the land.
The prevalence rates of high
blood pressure rise steadily
with advancing age, and every
age group in the prevalence is
higher for blacks than for
whites.
Among American blacks, not
only is the prevalence about
twice as high as that among
whites, BUT it is more severe
and occurs at an earlier age.
High blood pressure afflicts not
According to George, the
1975 senior* worked so well in
their projects that they managed
to raise $400 to turn over to the
senior mothers for rental of the
WTSU Activities Center for a
senior party following com-
mencement exercises.
"The class is paying for the
use of the building itself, which
is something unusual and a real
accomplishment. The class just
did an outstanding job on so
many of its projects,” George
commented.
The HHS principal singled
out the 1975 seniors as one of

An important thing to know-
and something your physician
can check—is that when
pressure goes above so-called
namal limit* and remains
elevated, patient* have high
blood pressure or hypertension.
With high pressure in the
arteries, the heart must pump
harder. When high blood
pressure is present for long
periods, the heart enlarges.
Eventually, under the continued
extra burden, the heart
weakens, lose* efficiency and
pumps less blood with each
