The film conisted of 1,500 feet of sound motion picture film, 600 still pictures and four 90-minute cassette tapes. Although every effort was made to recover the film, it seemed lost forever. In May of this year, almost two years to the date of the loss, he received a phone call from a man in Long Island, N.Y., who in­ formed him that he had something that belonged to Smith-the film. The caller related how he had pur­ chased the film at a flea market and after having several rolls developed, realized that this was not something that someone would throw away.

Emphasis on disciplinary measures, with stronger terminology-that was the message evident as the board of High School District 156 perused the 1979-80 Parent Student Handbook at its last meeting.
