some trouble in the schools at Alpine
with the students. Supt- A h.
Hughey was asked what he knew Of
this report and he said: Yes, when
Mr. Fowler was superintendent OF

ences with the students early in his
career, but he remained as superin-
tendent for two years after that and
could have stayed longer"
The trouble between Mr.. Fowler
and the students recalls a similar
