Band Holds Review
ON FAVORITE MEMORIES, REUNIONS AND HOME-
COMINGS: In a current Country-Western hit Merle
Haggard sings, “The first time I met you is a favorite
memory of mine.” Isn’t it nice to recall the good times -
like when you met your sweetheart, going to a circus,
getting your first job? With our selective memories, we
can remember the good times and forget the bad.
Recently my husband and I returned to Abilene
Christian University, our alma mater, for Homecoming
and the Reunion of our Class - the Class of ’66. There
have been many changed in the 15 years since we
graduated.
Our alma mater sits on a hill in Abilene, Texas. Gone
or changed are familiar landmarks we cherished. The
auditorium where we attended daily chapel (held in two
shifts to accommodate all the students) is now used as a
small theater for drama. Instead students now attend
chapel in a huge colliseum which is also used for
basketball games and P.E. classes and facilities are
connected. Many new and modern buildings are in place
where smaller and older ones once stood. A student
union building now holds the post office boxes, book
store and cafeteria. Fifteen years ago a tiny grill,
bookstore and post office served as a meeting place
between classes. This building is gone, making way for
an extension to the Science Building.
--Gone, too, is the pharmacy across the street from the
campus where my husband and I had our first date, a
coke after church. -
It is a bit of a shock to go back and see changes. Our
memories tend to put a “stop motion” on things leaving
them in our memories as they were when we last saw
them - ten, fifteen, twenty years ago. It is hard to see
gravy hair or no hair on the guy you remember as a
20-year-old football hero. (At least, he’s still a hero to his
kids.) It is hard to see a wrinkled face and a few extra
pounds on the girl who was selected “Most Beautiful.”
(She still has good looks, but in a more mature way.)
Isn’t it funny how we replay the movies of our mind
making the good times a bit better than they really were?
And forgetting the unhappier times (like staying up all
night writing a research paper or how bad we felt when
the college basketball team, after winning district, lost
the bi-district game by one point.)
Homecomings are nice. It’s always fun to see old friends
and old familiar places. It’s also good to see the changes
so we can realize it is a changing world we live in. We
can’t stop the change - only hope that it is change for the
better.
For my college alma mater, the changes are for the
better. When I graduated, it was only a college, but now
it is a unversity. From a student body of 2,000 in 1966, it
has grown to over 4,500 students. There are many new
buildings which have replaced old ones. For many years
after World War II. wooden Army barracks housed male
students and wooden Army hutments served as houses
for married students. A few of these wooden buildings
were also used for classes. Those “temporary” buildings
served ACU for 20 years and are now replaced by fine
dormitories, apartments and modern classrooms.
As for favorite memories, they are stored away for
instant replay whenever needed or wanted.

and not much defense,” said

Fines Set To Aid
Animal Control
In order to enforce the
animal control ordinance,
the Howe City Council has
adopted a schedule of fines
to become effective Dec. 1.
The fines begin at $10 for
the first offense and the fine
will go up $10 each time the
same animal is picked up
within a six-week period to a
maximum fine of $50.
The purpose of the increase
of the fine amount is to
help control the situation of
dogs running loose and
tearing up trash and
threatening the citizens of
Howe.
City Administrator Joe
Fenton emphasized that the
cost of the trash collection
contract might be raised
next year if the dogs are not

both taken to a hospital in
Mesquite where they were
listed in fair condition.

surgery.

The Howe 8th Grade Bull-
dog football team won the
District Championship.
The team defeated Bells,
31-6, on Nov. 5, in the last
game of the season.
Mark Wheeler took the first
kickoff and ran to the 41
yard line. Then Andy Turner
made the first down at the
24. Bells intercepted the
next play but then fumbled
the ball and Howe recovered
on the 5-yard line. Andreas
Liss carried the ball to the 2
yard line and Richie Nored
made good the TD. The PAT
was no good for Howe to
lead 6-0.
Bells tied the game at 6-6.
Their PAT also failed.
Turner next ran to the 2
yard. Then Liss had to punt
from the 30. to the 1 yard.
After a few plays Bells had
to give up the ball. Liss
made several good runs.
Turner ran 8 yards and then
into the end zone for a TD.
The PAT failed.
On the halftime kickoff,
Liss kicked it on sides and
David Hendrik made the
tackle. Mike Scribner made
some good yardage. Hendrik
then caught the ball and
made it to the 14. Liss ran in
for the TD. PAT was no
good as Howe led 18-6 with
5:38 left in the third quarter.
After receiving the kickoff
Bells fumbled and Hendrik
recovered the ball for Howe.
Liss pitched to Nored for 20
yards and then made a TD
run. PAT was no good and
Howe was 24-6 with 4:47 left
in the third.
In the fourth period every-
thing went wrong when
Howe was penalized for 39
yards and they had to punt.
Then Bells fumbled the ball
and Howe came up with it.
Liss passed to Scribner.
With 48 seconds left Turner
ran into the end zone for a
TD. PAT kick by Liss was
good. Bells took the kickoff,
but a pass was picked off by
Keith Berry and the clock
ran out.
All members of the team
did much to carry the 8th
grade to the District win.
Coaches for the team are
Tom Skipworth and Mike
Wheeler.

collectors have to spend
extra time retrieving
scattered trash, he said, that
would be taken into consid-
eration when the contract is
negotiated.
Section 2 of the Animal
Control ordinance states
“owner or harborer of any
dog shall keep it under res-
traint at all times and the
dog shall not be permitted to
run at large within the cor-
porate limits of the city.”
Section 5 of the general
provisions of the city code
(or ordinance) book provides
for a penalty of up to $200
per day for violation of city
ordinances.
Due to deadlines, the
following items were omitted
from the Nov. 12 issue’s
story on the Nov. 10 City
Council meeting.
Council opened bids on the
1979 Chevy police car. Only
one bid was received - Jack
Berry for $375. Council
rejected the bid and plan to
advertise again. A second
police car will be available
for the next bidding.
Council agreed to reduce
the taxes, this year as in the
past, on property in the city
limits that does not have full
city services (sewer and
water). However, next year
the reduction will be taken
in consideration on the
appraisal of the property. A
list of the properties is to be
supplied to the appraisal
district and letters to the
property owners advising
them of this action were to
be sent.
