IT is time to give RESPECT to the Family that has done so much for western MD and Frostburg. I understand but do not agree to the change of names of the HS. It was instigated (planned) by a man who was not of sound mind at the time with arguments the Supt. of school did not understand and had no validity. It was a SELF SERVANT move by school board and one member. The NAME OF the School Should be NOW CHANGED To BEALL HIGH SCHOOL.
