ROTARY TO HEAR
BANK ECONOMIST
Dr. Arthur Smith, economist at
the Dallas First National Bank,
will be the speaker at a meeting of

Corp. on Belt Line Road.

Suspended Boys
Told to Gel Haircuts
Six boys from Turner High School
were suspended from classes Mon-
day by the School Board ‘‘until they
get their long hairdos cut.”
The board termed the long hair
as ‘ detrimental to the good of the
school system.”
“This board has not changed and
does not anticipate changing its
policy on (long) haircuts,” said
Board President William R. Linn.
The boys were sent home from
school Monday under school board
orders. They appeared at a special
board meeting to appeal their cases.
Terry Richardson, 15, spokesman
for the group, pleaded with the
board to change its policy because,
for one reason, they need long hair
if they are to be successful with the
rock-and-roll bands in which they
play.
In addition to Richardson, other
boys suspended were Duane Med-
lin, 14, Rick Webb, 18, Bobby
Tucker, 17, George Boston, 1G, and
Bob Seay, 17.

events, we have one we are sure

man for the sponsoring groups.
