Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes and Sen.
Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr., D-Tex.,
have strongly endorsed Temple

speculation that Barnes and

The two must prominent nam

ture Teachers Association.
Students assembled in front ol the
school at 8:15, with the 128-member

wine, in the field across from the
school driveway.
Senior Linda Ley welcomed the stu-
dent body. Denise Arndt, a junior

actual flag-raising chore.
The Gobbler Band played the Star*
