As we watch the ever-changing clouds
across the skies, it is easy to imagine
the first men on this earth also watching
with awe the clouds develop and change,
watching the devastation of violent

Cotulla High School’s Class of 1929 |
will be gathering for their aeventh
annual reunion here this weekend,
celebrating 56 years of "freedom
from books and clasaea of secondary
education.
It ia not known how many of the
class' remaining 13 ( of 14) members
expect to be present for the yearly
get-together, but at least a majority
are pretty near certainty, according
to Shirley (Campbell) Manly of
Cotulla, unofficial class secretary.
Most of the group will be dropping
by the Manly home. 402 Tilden,
during the day to chat. Mrs. Manly
and her daughter. Judith, will be
serving coffee with cakes brought
for the occasion by Helen Marie
(Coker) Posey of Shreveport, La.
and Bill and Arlena Hinnant of San
Angelo.
Saturday evening, the group will
be hosted by Walter and Vira
Schulze of Woodward and barbeque
with all the trimmings will be the
menu at the Schulze home. Mr and
Mrs. Schulze will be assisted by
their daughters, Mrs. Fay
(Russell) Howard of Cotulla and
Mrs. Patsy (Vernon) Scott of San
Antonio.
For the first time, the 29ers have a
specified “theme” to their Saturday
night festivities - country-western,
particularly because it is being held
in a rural location— and their
rhyming invitation requested that
each appear in costume, either that
of a certain country-weatern per-
sonality or any attire suitable to the
overall theme.
At least two of the women 29ers
have agreed that they will be par-
ticipating.
Those “trimmings” for the bar-
beque will be provided by claas
members and their spouses - Mrs.
Manly, pinto beans; Jozie (Oakes)
and Joe West of Boerne and Cotulla,
