62 Dublin students
toss mortarboards
By MAC B. McKINNON
Citizen Publisher
Almost $100,000 in
scholarships were awarded
Friday night in the 2013
graduation celebration for 62
students who now move on
to a new phase in their lives.
Highest ranking senior
award was given to
Valedictorian Eva Frederick
whogave an address reflecting
on a 60th class reunion she
attended recently and
concluding with the fact that
she expected to see her
classmates in 60 years.
Salutatorian was Esperanza
Ruiz who gave part of her
address in Spanish. (Speeches
can be found on page A12
and video can be found at
www.dublindtizen.com.)
A new scholarship was
given to Kline Jones in
memory of Lynn Neff. The
gym where commencement
ceremonies were held, is
named in honor of her and
her husband, Roy Neff, who
was superintendent of DISD
for 23 years.
The amount of scholarships
did not include any G1 bill
benefits for those going into
the military'.
After graduates marched
into the gym to the music of
“Pomp and Circumstance”,
Aaron Callaway gave the
invocation, colors were
posted by the Tarleton State
University Honor Guard, and
the pledge was led by Toni
Krey, Corey Barbee and Clay
Francis.
Laurie Means led the crowd
in the singing of the national
anthem and after the
valedictory and salutatorian’s
address, a slide show of the
seniors was displayed with
Taylor Swift’s "Long live”
music as the background.
After the presentation of
diplomas, Kline Jones gave
the benediction.
Class sponsors were
Rhonda Gable, Brandon
Helton and Desire’e Jefferson.
Class officers are Aaron
Callaway, Margie Damstra,
Clay Francis, Eva Frederick
and Klarissa Perez.
Ushers from the class of
2014 were Anadelia
Bustamante, Diana Murrieta,
Jazmin Zapata Ruiz, Dirk
DeVries, Hayden Jurado and
Oscar Kendall.

SPLASH DAY - Swimmers were ready for the Dublin Pool on Splash Day Thursday with
almost 100 hitting the water. Memberships in the pool are available at $50 for the year
per person and then $20 for each additional family member. A volleyball tournament is
being planned along with movie nights. Swimming lessons are also being planned.
Non-golfer steals show
TRYING IT ON ■ Dublin graduate Jimmy Aguilar lets his
brother Abel try' on his mortarboard following Friday’s
graduation so he can see what it will feel like once he earns
his own Diploma in 2015.
A fearsome foursome from
the Dublin area captured first
place at the fourth annual
Cow Pasture Golf Classic with
a record-setting low of 24 on
the rolling hills where famed
golfer Ben Hogan won his last
amateur event 84 years ago.
Sonny Crutcher, Jim
Tidwell, Kenny Owens and
Jon White won the first place
awards of miniature gold
shovels (cow pasture divot
tools). Four strokes back, the
second place team of Coach
B6b Cervetto, Cliff Sims and
Josh Stone finished second.
Finishing in a tie for third
with a score of 29 were the
teams from First National
Bank (Jimmy Leatherwood,
Andrew Kinzer, David
Leatherwood and Brian
Spivey) and Dublin National
Bank (Tyler Stevens, Karen
Stepp, Tyler Wright and
Carter Blenden).
But the biggest and noisiest
win of the day was the lucky'
shot by Lisa Leatherwood
who chipped a bright yellow
ball into a distant small
bucket to win the Big Chip
title. No one was more
surprised than Mrs.
Leatherwood who is not only
a non-golfer but isn’t even a
wannabe. Ihe surprise win
was only the first of her day’s
victories because she then
beat out dozens of legitimate
and semi-legitimate golfers in
the “closest to the pin”
contest. The stunned look on
her face eliminated the
possibility of anyone calling
her a sandbagger. (See photos
on B1 and B2)
Unlike previous years when
the event sometimes saw
record high temperatures,
this year’s 9-hole golf classic
was played in near perfect
conditions. The temperature
was pleasant, the breeze was

well-attended ceremony on
Friday night in the LHS
gym.

supported college to provide
tuition-free enrollment both
semesters of the first regular
session immediately
following his graduation.
Hunter was awarded two
scholarships: one for $1,000
from the Rose Lafferty and
Flora Foust Educational
Funds and a $68,000
academic scholarship from
Valedictorian Lorissa
Sanchez was awarded
$2,000 from the Rose
lafferty and Flora Foust
Educational Funds and a
$ 1,200 scholarship from
Tarleton State University.
Salutatorian Agapito

endowed scholarship from
Tarleton.

Kevin Storey, administrator
of the Comanche County
Hospital District for the past
six years, has submitted his
resignation effective June 30.
He will be moving to Borger
to take a similar job at the
hospital there.
In a statement, Storey
noted, “It has been an honor
apd privilege to serve the
patients of Comanche County
Medical Center for the past
six years. Sadly 1 have
tendered my resignation as
Chief Executive Officer/
Administrator of both
Comanche County Medical
Center and Comanche County
Consolidated Hospital
District. This is something
that both my family and I
have decided together and
while we will miss a lot of
lifelong friends, many of
which we consider to be a
part of our family, we have
chosen to pursue an
opportunity in another
community hospital much
like the one here.
“In the course of my career
1 have had the pleasure to
work with a lot of excellent
physicians, employees and
board members. 1 am happy
to say that many of them g£e
right here in Comanche
County. 1 am proud of what
has been accomplished in my
tenure here.
"We are lucky to have some
of the best diagnostic-
equipment in the state and
the care equals or is better
than what is found in much
larger facilities.
“ The citizens of Comanche
County and the area are very
lucky to have such a great
place in their back yard and
with the employees and
physicians, they do not have
to worry about their families
not being cared for.
“I feel very confident that
the management of the
hospital’s &nd District’s
departments are fully capable
of maintaining the quality of
care and running their
departments just like they
have over my tenure here.
They can do this without
missing a beat after I leave.”
He continued by saying, “It

Those coming to Dublin
Saturday will have an
opportunity to take that last
trip down memory lane.
There will be an open
house of the old Dublin
school - commonly referred
to as the old high school
although high school has
not been in the building for
the last 14 years - from
2:30 to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Those wanting to be part
of a group picture in front
of the building are asked to
start lining up at 3:15 for a
photo to be taken at 3:30 by
Susan Keith of Gotcha
Photos.
Classes ended Thursday
for the final time after 100
years. It is estimated that
more than 5,000 students
went through the building
during its time of existence.
For more of that time, it
housed the 7-12 grades
although at times, the sixth
grade was included and
since 1999 it was home for
6- 8 grades.
Two years ago, the top
floor was closed and only
7- 8 grades occupied the
school.
Now the 7-8 grades will be
moved to the new high
school with housing to be in
temporary buildings until
construction can be
completed on new
classrooms, gyms and labs.

75 Years Ago
June 10,1938
Dublin was looted by three
or four gunmen on June 8,
1938. They bound three men
with copper wire after
slugging one victim. The
robbers blew open the safe of
the Dr Pepper Bottling
Company taking $200 in
cash, $4000 in negotiable
warehouse cotton receipts
and a $127 cashiers check.
The men then held up the
Majestic Cafe and obtained
$35. They then cleaned out
the shelves of merchandise in
Hoffman Brother Dry Goods
Company and broke into Reid
Motor Company and fled in a
1938 black sedan.
50 Years Ago
June 6,1963
After twenty years or more
of planning, the Proctor Dam
neared completion and was
ready for use by boat
enthusiasts and vacationers.
The water in the lake stood at
12 feet above permanent pool
level. Rainfall during May of
1963 raised the water level to
within one foot of going over
the spillway.
The huge body of water
was equal to the size of
Benbrook Lake. The boat
ramps were completed and
ready to use and the Texas
