Several months of preparation payed
off in Trinidad over the weekend as one
of the largest crowds in history were on
hand for beth Homecoming and the
Trinity River Jamboree.
For the first time ever the two events
were held on the same weekend in an
effort to provide bonus activities for
visitors and guests.
Early in the week Tara Thorpe was
crowned Miss Trinity River Jamboree
Queen in the senior division. Jennifer
Jenkins was named Miss Jun/or M/as
and Jennifer Ragland took the Little
Miss title.
Thursday night a large crowd was on
hand for the annual Homecoming bun.
fire. Members of the Trojan football
team were escorted to the site by the
Trinidad Volunteer Fire Department.
The Trojan Marching Band provided
entertainment and cheers were led by
the high school cheerleaders.
Friday evening Penny Johnston was
crowned football sweetheart in pro-
~ceremonies. Miss Johnston was

Following the Trojan football game
against Dawson visitors had choices of
events to attend.
Students were invited to an after-the-
game reception hosted by Calvary Bap-
tist Church. A reception for adults was
held at the Trinidad Community Center
and a large crowd attended the
Fireman's Ball, hosted by the Trinidad
Volunteer Fire Department Ladies
Auxiliary.
Saturday morning activities began
early with the Trinity Trot, a 8.2 mile
footrace through the streets of
Trinidad.
Randy Betts retained his title as
champion for the second year in a row
as overall winner with a time of 36.29.
Local competitors who placed were
Hohoy Fugate and Gary Fleming.
Beginning at 9:15 a.m. a bicycle race
was held with Tim Edwards as chair-
man.
Clearing the finish line in almost a
dead tie was Hobey Fugate of Trinidad
and Bill Simpson of Athens.

po~ed. ~'
Speed pointed out to other trustees
that the entire Appraisal District area
went through a total reappraisal last
year and that process should not be
needed again for four more years. That
in itself, he said, should allow drastic
budget cuts.
MISD officials faced three different
district valuations last year from
figures provided by the Appraisal
District. Those figures caused turmoil
for the board as they attempted to
establish a budget for MISD.
Platoons told board members that
representatives from other districts
had expressed their displeasure with
the budget but said that he had no idea
what action they would take.
In a different report Plemons also in-
formed trustees that enrollment for the
three campuses within the Malakoff
district now stands at 1,000 students. As
a result of the additional one new bus
route has been added already this year
and all rooms in all campuses are at
100% occupancy. He said the district
needs to purchase two new buses and
that $4400 worth of furniture and
equipment must be ordered now to ac-
comadate the increased enrollment.
Plemons recommended that trustees
start thinking about additional
buildings and pointed out that a trend of
growth has been underway for the past
three years. He said there are 59
seniors this year and 88 eighth graders
and that if no new students are
registered the high school can expect
that much growth next year.
Trustees approved a motion for the
$4400 furniture and equipment expen-
diture, even though that amount was
not included in the recently approved
budget. Plemons was instructed to
prepare a cost analysis on the purchase
of two new buses for the October
meeting.
Trustees also approved the adver-
tisement of bids for sale of five old
buses on the recommendation of the
administration.
Trustee Terry Shelton requested that
annual salary reviews be set st one par-
titular meeting of each year so that
trustees can be prepared with infor-
mation supplied beforehand. It was a
concensus of the board that a
preliminary meeting be held in
February or March and that a final
decision on employee salaries be
reached in the May or June meeting
each year.
Trustees also approved the first
reading of a change in beard policy
concerning aide sick leave. The change
was approved by the board at an earlier
meeting but now must be included in
board policy.
