Quality Index Places
Kress At Top Of Class
Kress went to the head of the class in "quality index."
Instructor Floyd Simmons was "really pleased" when his industiral technol-
ogy education class (formerly "industrial arts") tied with Tomball for overall
first place in quality index among Texas schools of all classifications. Contests
were judged late last week.
This was the first year for the quality indexing.
In addition, Kress won a Superior rating trophy for Class 1-A schools.
SISEMORE OUTSTANDING PROJECT
There was more as Reagan Sisemore was judged as having the "most
outstanding project in the entire contest" among students from schools of all
classifications. Projects entered in metal working, drafting, technology sys-
tems and other fields were included in judging.
A Kress High School senior, he is the son of Betty and Bobby Sisemore.
Simmons said the department’s traditional open house would not be held
this year. Instead, projects are to be on display at Kress National Bank. One-
half of the projects are to be viewed at the bank "about a week and a half' before
being replaced with the other projects.
Alcohol Involved In
Most Police Arrests
Alcohol was involved in most arrests
made during the past week by Tulia
police.
Lawmen were given an assault report
about 10 p.m. Thursday in the 200 block
of South Austin. This involved a father-
son altercation.
An ambulance was summoned, but
the father refused to be taken to the
hospital and was treated by an ambu-
lance attendant. The victim allegedly
was intoxicated and bleeding from the
mouth.
The son was brought to the Police
Department for questioning. No charges
were filed.
An intoxicated subject was arrested at
1:54 p.m. Friday for public intoxication.
He was inside a parked vehicle and
"obviously would have been a danger to
himself and others" should he have at-
tempted to drive the auto from its loca-
tion at the intersection of 1-27 and 6th
Street.
Another person was apprehended at

Wright and Irma Cisneros with his
bowling shot. The nine members

have been bowling without
charge each Thursday morning
since October at Tulia Bowl.

2:48 a.m. Saturday for driving while
intoxicated. This was in the 200 block of
SE 2nd.
Police were notified of a wrecked
vehicle on South Dallas Street early
Saturday morning, but found the auto
abandoned. No serious injuries were
believed to have resulted.
Lawmen were informed last week of
a person seen at 6:07 p.m. on the High-
land Elementary School playground.
The man w«*s "having trouble walking
and was thought to be injured." Officers
learned he was intoxicated rather than
injured and arrested him.
A few hours after this arrest, another
subject was arrested at 12:34 a.m. in the
500 block of N. Maxwell for driving
while intoxicated.
LICENSE PLATE TAKEN
An individual discovered at 9 a.m.
Friday that a license plate had been
removed from a 1986 GMC pickup. The
license number is 1286GJ. The plate
was taken between 6 p.m. Thursday and
9 a.m. Friday and could have been stolen
either in Lubbock or in Tulia.
A report of an assault with bodily
injury was received about 1 a.m. Satur-
day in the 100 block of N. Hale. A
woman, who suffered a "cracked nose"
in the domestic disturbance, drove her-
self to the hospital emergency room .No
charges were filed.
