Redden of Sherman. This new
old building, Supt. Moseley stated
that the main brick building
would be closed for several years
until the trend of time would dic-
tate its future. The old gymnasi-
um will continue to be used for
physical education classes so that
the new gymnasium facilities can
be spared excessive use.
Of interest to citizens of Pros-
per, school officials have voted to
permit the old gymnasium to be
used on week-ends for the chil-
dren to play in and for, what
might be termed, a community
center for civic gatherings.
It is hoped that in the near fu-
ture, one of the frame buildings
can be moved to the football-base-

The area was teased with .08 of

ed started just before noon and
lasted most of the afternoon when

Tuesday’s total of 1.26 was the
largest amount of rain to fall
here on any one day since July

Denison Man
Dies In Crash
On Highway 78
A Denison man, Jimmy Dale
Johnson, 20, was killed when his
automobile went out of control
and crashed into a creek bed a
mile south of Blue Ridge some-
time Monday night.
Justice of the Peace Robert
Ramsay, who held an inquest
oyer the body, said that inves-
tigation revealed that Johnson,
who was a native of Collin Coun-
ty, had left Myrtle Springs in East
Texas about 8:30 or 9:00 p.m. Mon-
day enroute to Denison. His body
was found in the wrecked car at
daybreak Tuesday by a passer-by
who called officers. Judge Ram-
say estimated that Johnson had
been dead approximately eight
hours when he was found.
Investigating officers said the
car apparently left State Highway
78, traveled along a ditch on the
left side of the road and crashed
into Desert Creek where it was
not found until early Tuesday
morning.
The body was sent to Denison
for funeral services.

How about that? Grandson

Grandpa didn’t forget it either.
As a matter of fact, we purpose-
ly waited a while and then made
another request of Grandson, very
carefully adding the word
“please” at the end of the sen-
tence, and he jumped right up and
did whatever it was we wanted
him to do without a word. Some-
body has been teaching that lit-
tle fellow some manners—that’s
for sure.

cident it reminded us of how of-
ten most folks neglect the little
courtesies of life—little things
that make living much more plea-
sant for those with whom we
come in contact every day. Just a
simple “please” or “thank you”
costs so little in time and energy
and mean so very much. We re-
call the lines we learned in school
many years ago—lines most of us
would do well to rehearse oc-
casionally just so we won’t for-
get: "Politeness is to do and say
the kindest things in the kindest
way.”
None of us is so busy or so in-
volved with the business of liv-
ing that we can’t take time to be
courteous and polite.

senting the Southern Association
of Secondary Schools and Col-

Under the chairmanship of Dr.
Arthur Witt Blair, Dean of the
School of Education at North
Texas State University, the team
of twenty-two teachers and pro-
fessional people began their study
Monday.
Purpose of this visit was to
make recommendations for the
improvement of our schools fol-
lowing a self-evaluation study
made last year. The group met in
the high school auditorium for
orientation before visiting the Ju-
nior and Senior High Schools and
Doty school.
Serving with Dr. Blair as a team
of advisors and assistants were
Dr. C. S. Blackburn, Dr. Frank-
lin Elder, and Dr. Herman New-
some, professors of education at
NTSU, and Dr. William E. Bar-
ron of the University of Texas.
Taking part in the evaluation
of the various departments were

surrounding it. Several new
homes have already been built
near the school and prospects look
good for more in the near future.
Superintendent W. H. (Pete)
Moseley states that the present
enrollment of Prosper schools is
237, a figure which is steadily
growing each year. There are ac-
tually four separate wings or
buildings within the structure,
each connected by a new type
concrete and multi-colored stone
enclosed hallway.
The full twelve year school
housed on one campus divides its
buildings into one elementary
wing (grades 1-6); one high school
wing (grades 7-12); one gymnasi-
um unit; and one unit for ad-
ministrative offices.
In May, 1962, the voters of
Prosper Independent School Dis-
trict approved the sale of $320,-
000 in bonds for the purpose of
remodeling the Rock Hill Negro
School (grades 1-8) and the erec-
tion of the new school building
and gymnasium. The school of-
ficials sold all but $5,000 of this
amount and work began on the
new school last February.
Supt. Moseley, who is beginning
his fifth year in Prosper, has spent
32 years in the school business in
Collin County. He, along with P.
C. Gilliland, board president, and
other trustees and officials are
extremely proud of the new
school home.
There are a total of fifteen
classrooms in the new school
building including 8 high school,
6 elementary( and 1 library. There
is plenty of space around the
existing units for expansion as
time and growth demands.
Architectural firm of Stanley
Brown and Associates of Dallas
designed construction with Ar-
chitect Gene Watson of this firm
working directly with school of-
ficials. The builder was Lloyd
Farrish of Irving.
According to Supt. Moseley, the
new buildings are designed to
house 400 students. Class schedule
for all grade levels is the same I
—8:30 to 3:30 each school day.
