Buyer-seller banquet set
With the annual Buyer-
Seller Banquet coming up
soon, County Extension
Agent Rocky Vinson is
urging all contributors and
bidders to send in their
pledges, donations and
bids as soon as possible.
The Buyer-Seller Ban-
quet is held each year in
honor of the county’s stock
show participants and
financial supporters. The
banquet will be held at the
Nancy Smith Elementary
School cafeteria on Thurs-
day, April 15, starting at
6:00 p.m.
Statements were
mailed out soon after the
January 28-30 stock show,
according to association
president Mike Parsons,
and although checks have
begun to come in, many
of the pledges have yet to
be paid.
A second mailing is
planned at the end of this
month.
“We certainly need
all pledges in the bank
soon, because the money
is already committed to
the kids and we need to
get them their premium
checks during the ban-
quet,” said Parsons.
Also, stock show partici-
pants need to finish their
thank you notes to bidders

Matthews artifacts on display
Artifacts belonging to
Cowgirl Hall of Fame hon-
oree Sallie Ann Reynolds,
Matthews are on tempo-
rary loan to the National
Cowgirl Museum and Hall
of Fame from the Old Jail
Art Center. These items
are currently on display in
the new Ranching Gallery.
Artifacts on display
include a gold, silver and
pearl battle-axe pin worn
by Matthews - referred to
by her children as “Mama’s
battle-axe pin” and a gold
with cloisonne pendant
watch.
Additionally, the mu-
seum has displayed a copy
of the book Interwoven: A
Pioneer Chronicle. Origi-
nally intended as a family
history for her children,
Interwoven has become a
basic source of informa-
tion on the history of the
Texas frontier. The copy
at the museum contains
an inscription from Sallie
Reynolds to her son Watt
Matthews, a successful
manager and operator of
the family-owned Lambs-
head Ranch.
Enduring the hardships
of pioneer life, raising a
family in the isolation
of cattle ranches and
witnessing the transfor-
mation of West Texas to
a region moving towards
modern communication,
led Matthews to having
the honor of being inducted
into the National Cowgirl
Hall of Fame in 1982.
“Matthews’ items are a
great temporary addition
to our collection,” said Pat
Riley, executive director
of the National Cowgirl
Museum and Hall of Fame.
“It gives visitors the op-
portunity to see that even
as a hardworking, cattle
wrangling rancher, Mat-
thews’ still found time to
record a family history for
her children.”

Local school classes
to resume Monday
Classes in the Albany
schools will resume on
Monday morning, March
22 following a week-long
spring break.
The tardy bells will
ring as usual at 8:05 a.m.
Monday at both campuses.
About two weeks from
now is the next break in
the schedule, when the
student and faculty will
be released on Thursday,
April 1 for the Easter
weekend.
School officials decided
to forfeit an extra TAKS
day that had been built
into the calendar in order
to make up a day lost to
snow, rather than disrupt
the long Easter weekend.
Aztec information needed
The Aztec Foundation is
looking for memories and
mementos.
“We are putting to-
gether a website for the
Aztec Theater, and are
looking for any pictures,
flyers, newspaper articles
or general archive infor-
mation pertaining to the
historic playhouse,” said
Cathy Rupp.
Community members
are encouraged to contrib-
ute to the project.
Memorabilia may be
mailed to or brought by
the John E. Bernard Oil
and Gas office at 425 South
2nd Street. Electronic files
may be e-mailed to crupp@
jeboglm.com.
Rupp may be contacted
at 762-2400 ext. 17 for ad-
ditional information.

AHS band earns good ratings
The Albany High School
concert band came home
from the spring UIL compe-
tition last Thursday with a
“excellent” rating in concert
and “average” in sightread-
ing compTetition.
The musicians traveled
to Anson to play in the small
school UIL competition.
The group of high school
and eighth grade musicians
performed three prepared
concert pieces and then
moved to the sightreading
area.
AHS band director John
Stockdale explained that
the contest was hosted by
Anson for Albany and nu-
merous other area schools.
“It’s getting more and more
difficult to make a I, and a
II is just what it’s supposed
to be - ‘excellent’,” continued
the director. “A rating of III
is a good band.”
He added that the local
musicians “performed very
well on stage for the concert;
the best they’ve played in a
longtime.” Stockdale point-
ed out that a majority of the
26 band members are eighth
graders and freshmen.
“We are a really young
group, and they did a great
job, even though many of
them are inexperienced at
UIL contests.”
Six band members were
lost to grades, leaving some
instrument parts “thin,”
Stockdale added. “All things
considered, I was pleased
with the results. Spring is
always really hectic, and
it’s hard to ever have a full
bandrehearsal. Somebody is
always gone to some other
event.”
