School News
At a regular meeting last Tuesday
night the Trustees of the Rocksprings
Independent School District re-ap-
pointed all teachers now employed by
the school. As usual, some resignations
are expected before the beginning of
next school term.
Rocksprings High School rated high
in the Four County Tennis Meet held
in Junction last Saturday. Our boys
and girls won 28 points to take second
place behind Junction, who made 30
points. Jackson Babb and Buddy Thur-
man won first in the Senior Boys
Doubles and Lyda Babb won first
in the Junior Girls Singles. Barbara
Lowe and Wanda Matthews were sec-
ond in Senior Girls Doubles, Nancy
Weaver and oj Belle Newsom were
second in Junior Girls Doubles, John
L. Dibrell and Bailey Bird were second
in Junior Boys Doubles, and Keith
Bradford was second in Junior Boys
Singles. We were proud of the fact
that we had six teams in the final
matches. All the losses suffered by
these boys and girls were extermely
close, all sets being deuce sets. Jack-
son and Bddy will represent us in the
District Meet in San Angelo in the
early part of April.
NOTICE,OF ELECTION FOR
SCHOOL TRUSTEES
The Junior Class of Rocksprings
High School wanted to do its share in
helping win the war and in aiding ag-
encies sharing in the war effort, so the
class members voted to give their mon-
ey to the Special Red Cross War Fund.
A check for $15.00 was turned over
to the secretary of the fund this week
as the class’ contribution toward
paying the fare to Tokyo.
Beginning March 30, school will go
back to the old schedule used before
the change to War Time. That is, our
school will begin classes at nine o’-
clock instead of nine forty-five as at
present. The days are getting longer
and we believe we can all get to
school earlier, therefore get out at
four o’clock insteda of four forty-five.
