jaw) and Poliomyelitis prior to ad-
mission to the first grade.
3. Each student shall have re-
ceived a re-vaccination for Small
Pox every three years following
the first successful vaccination of

Typhoid Fever prior to entering

'Shaggy Dog'
At Drive-In
This Sunday
Fred MacMurray confesses he
hasn’t worked so hard in years
as he did for Walt Disney in “The
Shaggy Dog.” But the slavedriver
wasn’t Disney. It was the dog.
“Dogs can be the worse scene-
stealers in the business, worse
than kids,” he explains. “But
this fellow is something I’ve never
had to compete with before—a dog
comedian. And let’s face it, he
has the best part in the picture.”
The movie plays at the Mathis
Drive-In Theatre Sunday and Mon-
day.
Shaggy, the English sheep dog
in the title role, portrays a teen-
age boy turned by magic into
canine shape, and the Buena Vista
release stars Fred as his father,
Jean Hagen as his mother, Tom-
my Kirk as the boy, Annette Fun-
icello as his girl friend, Tim Con-
sidine as his rival, and Kevin
“Moochie” Corcoran as his little
brother.
“This dog,” says Fred, who has
the reputation of being a master
of comedy himself, “kept the whole
cast and crew in stitches. He even
broke me up a couple of times,
and for an actor, believe me, that’s
no laughing matter. I knew I had
to give everything I had to keep
him from walking away with the
picture.”
Yet Shaggy had never been in
a picture before in his life, and
his education had been limited to
30 days’ obedience training when
Disney signed him.
“But it wouldn’t have been so
bad if he’d been just a trick dog,”
Fred says. “I tell you he’s an
actor. I never saw any amateur
catch on to the business so fast
as this one did. And he’s a natural
screen personality.”
Born in Denver, Colo., Oct. 21,
1956, Shaggy belongs to Mrs. Addie
Anderson, a clerk for the Califor-
nia State Division of Highways in
San Bernardino, who bought him
for $500 when he was a two-
months’-old pup.
Featured in the cast are Cecil
Kellaway, Alexander Scourby, Ro-
berta Shore, James Westerfield,
and Jacques Aubuchon. Charles
Barton directed the picture, with
Bill Walsh as associate producer
under Disney’s executive super-
vision.
SCOUT NEWS
Boy Scout Troop 38 held its re-
gular meeting Monday night at the

badges which entitled him to rank
as a Star Scout. Irvin Watson re-
ceived his second class badge.

Royal Service
Set Tuesday
Mrs. Pete Thyssen will be in
charge of the Royal Service pro-
gram for the three circles of the
Women’s Missionary Union of the
First Baptist Church.
They will meet next Tuesday
morning at 9:30 a.m. at the church.
School opens for approximately
1,100 students Tuesday morning at
9 a.m. for registration and a full
day of classes.
Wednesday classes meet at 8:30
a.m. for the first normal day of
school.
The enrollment on the first day
of school in 1958 was 1,173. The
total registration during the year
was 2,047 with an average daily
attendance of 1,622.21 School of-
ficials last year estimated the mi-
grant student enrollment, between
Oct. 24 and April 25, was 831.
School this year is a week late
in starting due to the delayed cot-
ton harvest. By starting school Aug.
31, the scheduled time, it was felt
that the ADA (Average Daily At-
tendance) totals would be severe-
ly affected. Texas public schools
are alloted money for teacher sal-
aries on the ADA figures. This
year Mathis estimates it will re-
ceive $213,940 as its per capita
apportionment from the state.
