concern heard from bene-
factors to Noah's Ark, they
chose to end its relationship
with Sanger.
During the work ses-
sion, some finer points of the
agreement were explained.
The termination notice pe-
riod, monthly payments and
a start up amount, and the
schedule of fees were clari-
fied.
Matthews said he has
some hard costs such as
welding, new drain plates
and more kennel areas.
The fee was set at $75 for
an owner, plus $10 a day.

SANGER - At last

lead a discussion on a po-
tential amendment to the

Iliff was accompa-
nied by Steve Watkins

Taco in Sanger.
Iliff began by propos-
ing a special zoning area
for the business area ex-
tending outward a short
distance from the inter-
section of Interstate 35
and Chapman Road.

SANGER - Anna Fran-
cis Hinzman Cogburn, who
attended the Ex-Students
Association “Back to the
Future” luncheon on Satur-
day, remembers with fond-
ness many youthful experi-
ences of growing up in and
attending school in Sanger.
“Everyone knew me
then as Anna Francis,”
Cogburn said. “Back then
everyone was called by two
names. My married name is
Cogburn. Now they just call
me Ann.”
Ann, who now lives
south of Lindsey attended
TWU which she said the
boys called TSCW, for
“Texas’ Sweetest Collec-
tion of Women” university.
Ann was worked at the state
school for girls, then went
on to be the librarian in
Lindsay.
She met her husband
while a worker at the state
school. They lived in Lind-
say, where her husband,
Doyle Cogburn, was mayor
until he died in 1991.
Her first three years
of school were spent at St.
Mary’s in Gainesville with
her grandparents. “After my
parents moved to Sanger,
they realized I would have
to walk a mile to the bus,
so they sent me to Gaines-
ville,” Ann said. “When
my brother started school,
I came back and went to
school in Sanger in 1943.”
“It was a three-story
building near the square.
I remember pulling up the
first day after Halloween
and I was so impressed,” she
said. “Those naughty boys
had put an outhouse on top
the building with a bouquet
of flowers around it.”
Ann said she never
could figure out how they
got the outhouse way up
on top. She added that the
building has since burned
down.
“My third-grade class
numbered about nine or
10,” she said. “We gradu-
ated seven. We were going
along pretty well. Some girls
left to get married, and some
just left.”
Ann said every day
back then was a bad hair
day. “We had to wear it up
in pin curls, so you would
wash it and probably sleep
on it. There was no control-

SANGER - City Coun-
cil voted unanimously
Monday night to approve a
contract with All American
Dogs to supply animal ser-
vices to the city.
During the preceding
work session, after some
discussion and a question
and answer period with Bob
Matthews, co-owner of All
American Dogs located in
Pilot Point, the contract
got the nod in the following
regular city meeting. Scott
Stephens moved to approve
and Russell Martin second-
ed the motion.
The action was taken
after Noah's Ark, located

This is a proposed new sign
for Fuzzy’s Taco Shop for
more visibility with 1-35.
“Many of these
businesses in the area
are doubled stacked,” he
said. “Such as Family
Dollar behind McDon-
ald’s, but they have pretty
good visibility.”
The director was
more concerned about
businesses on the east
side of 1-35 around the
Fuzzy’s location. He told
council that while there
isn’t a build up in front
of the building housing
Fuzzy’s, it will just be a
matter of time before it
happens.
Watkins concern
was that since Taco Bell
built nearby, many other
national chains and even
a hotel chain will now

Hinzman, class of1952, reminisces about school years in Sanger
and a short, two longs...but
it didn’t make a difference
because you knew everyone
on the line was listening in.”
She said there was one
woman who always butted
in and corrected conversa-
tions. “She always had to set
things straight.”
Cars were getting more
popular while Ann was in
school. “At first all the cars
were stick shift,” she said.
“Then, some of us saw our
first automatic.”
Ann said the boys were
always feeding us lines and
told us they were for one-
legged people.
The town doctor, Dr.
Sullivan, a 1907 graduate of
Sanger, never got the hang
of driving his stick shift said
Ann. “He would rev it up
between each gear shift, and
we were sure parts were go-
ing to start flying out.”
Ann said Chevys had
the first automatics in
Sanger, called a “Power-
Glide.” “We would see
one and say they had The
Glide.”
Dr. Sullivan, according
to Ann, was a wonderful

She recalled a time
when word came that the
girls in Valley View had
head lice. We all had to
wash our hair. And the next
time we played girls basket-

had to wear scarves to cover
our hair. “We were pretty
