50 YEARS AGO: It was reported that a policy barring married students at Ceres High School from participating in extracurricular school activities had been tabled by Ceres Unified School District, Board of Trustees. The trustees tabled the policy to determine if it was legal and asked the district’s superintendent, M. Robert Adkison, to obtain a written opinion from the Stanislaus County Counsel’s Office. Mr. Adkinson told the board the counsels office told him, by phone, that it believed the policy was illegal, based on the opinion from the state attorney general’s office.
