TRIFLES
about
ins to
that
For some of us the day started
out in reverse, and never seem-
ed to right itself until senior
sponsor W. P. Morgan (who so
eloquently Introduced each se-
nior as he or she went up on
the stage to receive his diploma
from Superintendent Lightfoot)
concluded this procedure with
the statement which began, ‘1
now pronounce you,” and threw
several senior parents, including
his own wife, into a state of
semi shock.
Others of us knew he was not
going to finish that sentence
with the familiar pairing off
final clause, because he hadn't
begun with the customary “By
the authority vested in me,” but
audible sighs of relief could be
heard through the auditorium
when he ended with “graduates
of Dublin High School."
Senior sponsors Omarie Light-
foot and Judy Zimmerman were
sporting inscribed discs with the
name of the graduation song on
one side and “Seniors ’66” on
the other, but we didn't see Mr.
Morgan sporting anything. We
assume that was because he
got to sit on the stage, where
it was obviously much cooler.
Martha Frances and Ernest
Johnson started the day of their
youngest son’s graduation * by
observing the demand feeding
schedule of their youngest (2
months old) grandson at 6:00
a.m The days events included
separate breakfast schedules for
seven VIP house guests, daugh-
ters Joy Hall and two sons, and
son Dick, daughter-in4 a w
Sharon, and their small son and
daughter. Nevertheless, Martha
Frances made it right on time
to Mayor Ed Leatherwood’s of-
fice, where she and Mrs. Albert
Traweek had an appointment to
ask him to proclaim Poppy Day.
The only thing she forgot was
the poppies we were supposed to
photograph for the paper.
On the other hand, after care-
fully injecting a reminder that
school was to start at 9:00
Tuesday into every issue of the
paper for the past five weeks,
we forgot that photographer
Tommy Daniel was supposed to
be at school instead of out
taking pictures at 9:00 a.m. On
that speeded up day he had al-
ready missed two classes by
9:20, when he finally arrived at
school.
Rhudene and Martin Cook
were going through graduation
for the last time, but they
didn’t experience any more
emotions of finality than Paul
and Dorothy Hamilton who
were going through it for the
third and last time this week,
(that is, if you count Bacca-
laureate) Olene and Bart
Mathis, who went through it
last year, were proceeding with
outward calm. Bart spent the
day punching holes in his ter-
races, to let the water out.
Olene spent the day punching
the typewriter, but when she
got ready to go home (to High-
land) she walked all the way to
her customary parking place be-
fore she remembered the car
was in the repair shop. Mean-
while, at the repair shop, Ona

the Soil Stewardship Breakfast
Monday morning. May 24. The
breakfast was attended by Rev-

At the breakfast, Gilbreath
pointed out that increases in
population and loss of soil and
water work directly against
each other. “Growth in popula
tion will create greater mea-
sures 'oh tte ‘land ’for- food,
clothing and housing. We have
no land to waste If we meet
the growing needs,” stated Gil-
breath, who concluded his talk
by saying,’ “The well • being of

Joy Watson presented her es-
say, ‘Conservation, Our Best In-
surance. ” at the breakfast
meeting Those present agreed
that with such thinking as
Joy brought out in her essay
there was hope for the future.
Most everyone who attended
the breakfast loaded onto a bus
furnished by the Dublin Boy
Scouts. The bus took the group
on a tour of Coy Wall’s farm
and Buster Jones' farm. The
hosts Buster and Coy showed
the group some of the conserv a-
tion work that is being done on
their farms. The why and bow
of such practices as brush con-
trol, pasture planting, grassed
waterways. terraces cover

the landowners and S C.S. per-

Many favorable comments
were made during and at the
end of the tour. Probably the
most encouraging statement for
future tours was made by one
of the ministers who said, "This
tour was certainly educational
and an eye opener."
Gilbreath was well pleased
with the cooperation he received
in planning and carrying out
the breakfast and tour. “We
hope to have a bigger and bet-
ter one next year,” said Gil-
breath.

River. A total of 24 such dams
are planned for these three
creek watersheds. Five of these
dams have been completed and
planted to grass and five other
dams are almost complete or

cording to Raley.
Farmers and ranchers will be
glad to see the end of floods

(100,000 each year to crops,
fences, roads, erosion and live-

from recreation. 11 of these
lakes will be stocked with fish.
Some of the water in the lakes
will be used for irrigation-
Most of the benefits are to
be reaped by watershed resi-

the dams are built. In Texas
