Mr. Nelson's Reading classes at Roque Guerra Elementary had a reading unit on
Farm Animals. Seven students in third and fourth grade made a 100 percent on the
test by getting all 60 fill in the blank questions correct. Each of these students
received a trophy. In the front row from left to right are Jessica Guerra, Miguel
Pena, Adrian Martinez and Erick Sepulveda. In the back row, left to right, are
Shallon Gonzalez, Refugio Hinojosa and Juan Benavidez. Jorge Cantu won a trophy
in a Spelling contest.
Were it left for me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspa-
pers without a government, 1 should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
