Fairfax School Board
Re-eIects Robinson

The Fairfax County School
Board yesterday reelected Fred
w. Robinson of Herndon as chair
man. 1t will be his 11th year
as presiding officer.
Reelected with him was Vice
Chairman Alex L. Haight of Fair
fax, while w. Clement Jacobs and
Miss Mary Alice La Due were re-
named clerk and deputy clerk, re-
Spectively.
The school board decided that
all eighth, ninth and tenth grade
students from the Mclean area
who are attending Falls Church
High School will be transferred
to Fairfax High School next year
to relieve overcrowding in the
Falls Church school.
The change will be optional for
18th and 18th grade pupils. The
group then dropped consideration
of a similar transfer of pupils
from the Chesterbrook area.
Rain cut short a school board
visit to several proposed school
sites in the Belle aven-Bucknell
area, but the group dropped con-
sideration of site on Quander
road after finding it would mean
condemnation of land now used
by colored families who have no
other homeSites.
