Raborn says of the occasion of

hope my testimony helps some-
one." "Although all my life I have
had all the material things that
I could want" Raborn says "I
was so weighted down by sin
and so terribly unhappy that in
desperation I turned to God."

in a family of Christians. His
father taught a man's Bible class
in the First Baptist Church in
Orange 20 years.

tional AAU five years placing
second in the junior shotput di-
vision in 1948 he was an AAU
weight-lifting champion an in-
tramural swimming and handball
star at Texas and was a member
of the Longhorn baseball squad
one season. While in the Army
he was ping pong champion at
Fort Sam Houston.
Starting his sports writing ca-
reer while at Texas he was
sports editor of the Daily Texan
was a correspondent for Associat-
ed Press United Press and Inter-
national News Service and work-
ed two summers on the Beau-
mont Enterprise. He was on the

quet. Charles Stewart a mem-
ber of the art department will

lowed by speeches given by the
coaches.

gram will be entertainment from

tin Ave. Brownwood. Organ
