School can be partly solved
by a stepped up program of
recreational and educational
activities at the school and
increased community involve
ment, Fred King, the new

the number of runaways to

communications with staff

"This school has one of
the finest staffs anywere,
and I intend to use their
talents to make good things
happen," King said.
