Citizens Committee Forms for School Bond Issue Campaign
A Citizens Committee for the School Bond Issue was formed by the Citizens Educational Advisory Committee. Co chairs are Dave Wright and William Holt with an executive group including C. E.

The proposed high school would allow a local middle school to serve grades five through eight, at a cost no more than a carton of cigarettes.
