School Supply
List Is Inside
Cedar Hill Ele-
mentary school sup-
ply list is on page two
of the Smart Shopper
section of this issue
of The Chronicle.
Disregard the
other school supply
list on page four in
that section, Duncan-
ville's list was added
to Cedar Hill's paper
by mistake.
year's prices were
650 and $2.50.
Lunch prices for
adults (employees of
the schools and visi-
tors) were increased
200 each on a daily
basis from 750 to
950, Weekly cost
for this group was
increased only 150 (
per lunch on a five-
meal weekly basis,
however, from $3 to
$4.25.
Rising food costs
were given as the
principle cause of the
increased lunch
prices.
In a policy change,
the Board approved a
a recommendation
from Superintendent
Dr. Paul Brooks that
the annual junior-
senior prom at the
end oi eacn school
year be conducted lo-
cally only and that no
underclassmen be al-
lowed to attend.
The latter means
that CHHS junior and
senior students may
invite outsiders as
dates, but lower
classmen from CHHS
will not be allowed to
attend as dates and/
or guests.
The action came as
a result of reported
drinking of alcoholic
beverages at past
proms by students.
High school Princi-
pal Charles Hawkins
told the Board that a
faculty member had
been drinking at the
most recent prom.
In the same regard,
the Board approved
Hawkins' request that
he be allowed to ap-
point class sponsors
in high school. In the
past, each class has
elected its faculty
sponsors,
Hawkins intimated

Elementary Boundaries
Boundary lines for
attendance at Cedar
Hill's two elemen-
tary schools (grades
one through five)
were changed early
Wednesday, August 7,
reports Superintend-
ent Dr. Paul Brookst
The new dividing
line between South
Hills and Bray Ele-
mentary Schools will
run south down the
center of Highway 67
from Belt Line Road
and east down the
center of Belt Line
Road from Highway
67.
In other word, stu-
dents living east of
Highway 67 and south
of Belt Line Road will
attend the new South
Hills. All others will
attend Bray,
The former bound-
ary line ran down
Highway 67 through
the entire District.
Only students ef-

are those living both
north of Belt Line
Road and east of
Highway 67. They
now will attend Bray,
instead of their form-

Nine Win In Sub Contest

merchants to fete
Cedar Hill Chamber of Commerce will honor
the city's 5,000th resident in special cere-
monies Tuesday, August 13.
Not only is the mark a population milestone,
it is also a legal one. Having 5,000 residents
will allow the City to adopt its own Home Rule
Charter, should a majority of the voters so de-
sire. Home Rule Charter would allow the City
more control in governing itself.
The 5,000th resident will be honored in front
of City Hall Tuesday, August 13, at 6:30 p.m.
Merchants are being asked by the Chamber
to donate merchandise gifts to the 5,000th res-
ident. The gifts will be presented at the brief
ceremony Tuesday night.
All Cedar Hill merchants are asked to con-
tact any Chamber director immediately and re-
port their donations.

291-1551, Larry Fox at 291-4626, Joe Potter at
291-4292 or City Administrator Chris Hadjison
at 291-4211.
