Deaf Smith County Commissioners
approved a request Wednesday morning
by the Hereford Lions Gub to use the
Bull Barn Aug. 2 for the Tommy
Overstreet Show with the provision the
show would be entirely sponsored by the
Lions.
The action came in a called meeting at
10 a.m. at commissioners' court.
Lions representatives Jim Hale, Nolan
Grady and Wayne Lady said their
organization had an opportunity to book
Overstreet’s show through Halo Studios,
which wanted a 10 per cent guarantee of
the net profit. Hail said he estimated
2.000 tickets would be sold for the event.
The commissioners, restating policy
prohibiting use of the Bull Barn for
commercially-sponsored events, said
they would allow the Bull Bam to be used
only if the 10 per cent guarantee were
dropped from the request.
Hale, Grady and Lady said they would
confer with the Lions Gub Board of
Directors and advise the court of their
decision.
IN OTHER business, the commission-
ers approved a jury of view’s judgment
that $14,182 be paid by the county to
KPAN Radio for damages incurred by the

settlement, if accepted by the radio
station owner, will be made from state and
county funds, with each paying half of the
total.
The commissioners denied Halo
Studios of Hereford’s request to use the
Bull Bam Aug. 2 for a country-western
music show featuring recording artist
Tommy Overstreet in accordance with
general policy limiting use of the center
to non-commercial purposes.

Sheri Layne Young was named
valedictorian of the 1974 senior class
Tuesday morning by Superintendent Roy
Hartman during a special awards
assembly at Hereford High School.
Miss Young is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Dale Young of 509 E. Sth. She
has attended Hereford schools for all 12
years and has been active in forensics,
band. National Honor Society (NHS) and
one-act play competition. Layne has
served as sweetheart for the Noon
Kiwanis Club this past year.
THE ROTARY Club's big Variety
Show is scheduled Friday night at the
high school auditorium and, judging from
past performances, it should be a great
evening of entertainment. The event
serves as a showcase for local talent, and
Hereford is blessed with some fine
performers in various musical areas.
Enjoy an evening out and support a good
cause by attending the show Friday
night!
SPEAKING of the schools, the
administration and school board Tuesday
night called on patrons to help prevent
vandalism to school property. Recent
problems at tennis courts and the track
brought the situation to the attention of
trustees.
The school had locked up the tennis
courts at times recently, due to
motorcyclists causing damage to the
courts and youngsters tearing up the
nets. It was also noted that some
youngsters were caught painting obscene
words on the track surface, and a "bike"
rider had also zoomed down the track on
one occasion. Just remember it's your tax
money that's being wasted in these
cases.
Hereford Rotarians promise a
wide array of area talent, with a
variety to please every musical
taste and every age group
Among the performers lined
up for the show are Gerald &
Lisa Martin, Fred Ratliff. Patsy
Morris, the Larrymore Dan
cers, Gussie Sanders, Susie
Hickman, Texas Rhodes and
Angie Slagle. Tony Poarch.
Charlie Bell and his Dixieland
group, and students of the
Janette Caviness School of
Dance "as well as a number of
surprises’,” according to
Rotary spokesmen
Proceeds from the per
Top Scholars Named
Principal Jerry Don George, center, peruses the
certificates of merit which were presented
Tuesday to Layne Young, senior class
valedictorian, and Paul Galley, salutatorian.
The panel assured the commissioners the
performance by Overstreet, one of the
nation's most popular country and
western recording artists, would
definitely be suitable for any family.
Overstreet's appearance would highlight
the Lion's Club Carnival, an annual
week-long event aimed at raising funds
for various Lions' activities.
