From The Santa Fe New Mexican:

December 9, 1909: John V. Conway, county school superintendent, left this morning for a week's visit among the southern school districts; Cerrillos, Madrid, Golden, San Pedro, Stanley, Hyer, Otto and Fairview, and will return by way of Cienega and Agua Fria schools. Upon his return he will leave immediately for the northern districts.

December 9, 1959: A dusty steel filing cabinet found locked and keyless in a Bureau of Revenue vault has yielded more than a half million dollars in delinquent school tax claims, School Tax Director Carl Folkner said today. Folkner said that when a locksmith opened the cabinet all three of its drawers were found jammed with "debit vouchers" made out against delinquent taxpayers but never acted upon. He said their dates ranged back eleven years. Folkner said that collections based on forms taken from the locked cabinet have passed the half-million dollar mark.

December 9, 1984: Opinions on Santa Fe Public Schools' cafeteria food are as different as caviar and corndogs, but the numbers show participation is up this year. For the first time in most of the schools, students and teachers meet about every three weeks to decide the menus for their own schools. There's no longer a district-wide edict on what will be served.
