Local Schools Receive Free Film and Bulbs for Activities
Several weeks ago Mr WD Smithers donated a dozen rolls of conventional film and flashlight bulbs for free to area teachers. The items supported school photography during activities and some were used at the District track meet in Marfa. A calendar excerpt from El Toro lists upcoming events including FFA Burlesque Show and the regional and state meets, while Alpine High hosted a School of Mines choir program entertaining about 150 students and patrons.
