Did someone say equal facili-

School District?
The other day Barbara Har-
rison visited the two-room
school house on Riceville Road
just West of- Brae Burn Coun-
try Club as she has done
periodically for many years
since she and her family moved
out to the “country.”
This time she was greeted
excitedly by the principal.
“I’m so glad you came to-
day,” the principal exclaimed,
“We are going to have a pic-
nic to celebrate this special
day”
“Celebrate what?”
“That!”
The teacher pointed to
‘that’—a set of World
Books.”
“Of course,” went on the
principal, “I have informed the
children that hands must be
washed before the encyclopedias
are touched, and their deport-
ment grades must be high enough
to warrant the use of them.”

“In The Arcade"
Each day, says Principal Har-
lan Andrews, the cockles of his
heart are warmed by the co-
operation from the parents of his
Bellaire Hiffh School students and
by his fine student body.
When things get rough during
the school day—and things do
get in a bind in record time
sometimes, he thinks of this in-
cident a couple weeks back:
He was driving through the
gate at the High School Stadium
for the last Spring football
game, and flashed his princi-
pal’s card for indentification.
“You’re the principal of
that new high school in Bel-
laire?” asked the attendant.
“We’ve been wanting to tell
you something- We’ve talked
about this all year and want
you to know you have the
nicest bunch of kids that come
here.”
Many things are requested of
a newspaper, many time an ear
is singed by irate readers,
an ear drum all but shattered
by indignant telephoners, and
the mail often brings short and
to the point letters.
But Martha Merritt, our ever
efficient bookkeeper brings by
a missive she received. It con-
tains some wonderful scribbling
on a white piece of paper. On
the reverse side are A-D-U-I-
L-C-A laboriously printed.
Nothing more
With son, Porter, now in
Aggieland, Henry and Maxine
Everts appreciate fully this

Everyone still shocked over
Juvenile Officer Robin Elliott’s
death in a car-truck crash
Thursday night. And no one
feels worse than the Road Run-
ners, the hot rod club members,
and many other boys with whom
Officer Elliott had such a warm
comradeship in seven short weeks
as a member of the local police
department- He was returning
from a conference on Hot Rod
Clubs when he was killed.
While Principal Andrews was
handing out bouquets to parents
and teachers last week, he tossed
a posey for “the outstanding job
of helping us with the things
not included in the budget.”
For instance, instruments for
the Bellaire Belles, and robes
for the Choral Club. Thanks to
the hard working students (and
teachers) and the willing par-
ents who have forked up money
for magazine subscriptions and
tickets to various school shows,
the Belles have raised over $4000
since September and the Choral
Club over $700.
