The resignation of Yoakum High
School Band Director Bobby Hayes
became an added agenda item for
the Monday night session of the
Yoakum School Board.
Supt. Harvey Schneider said
Hayes' letter of resignation, turned
in a week ago, was to be submitted
to the board at its regular meeting.
Monday night.
Hayes reportedly is asking to be
relieved of his contract in order to
accept a position in the Fort Worth
area. The lateness in the move,
from the standpoint of the coming
school year and pre-school band
rehearsals, may pose a problem in

For starters, the Commission will
hold a public hearing on the

the area in front of Yoakum High
School tagged for first action.
The project contract calls for

discussed last week at a pre-con-
struction meeting of officials from
the Yoakum district of the State

THE GAtmeuING was held there
this past Saturday and something
like 200 folks gathered for the event,
one family traveling all the way
from Kentucky to remember the
past with old-time frieqds.
, There were young folks, the
youngst being seven weeks old, and
really old folks, like 92-year-old
■ life-long Staples resident Bill
Whitten, who still keeps bees, sells
hooey and raises a few bushels of
mighty fine peaches, too.
There were lots of folks there that
I had never seen befoe and some
that I had, but didn’t expect to see
there. One of those was the Yoakum
couple of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Huth.
Seems like I had known about it in
the past, but had forgotten that
Mrs. Huth hailed from Staples, her
mother having been a Lowman, Me
of the really old families of the area.
. ' ooeoo
MOST OF THE old-time families
still have some folks living In the
community, but many do not.
It was back in 1849 when my
great-great grandfather Matthew
Dawson Anderson first came to that
area, though he settled a few miles
away on York Creek at the time.
* Now all the family from the
Anderson clan left in the community
.. is my Uncle Jack’s widow Fay and
their daughter Peggy. However, 1
must admtot that there aren’t too
many Andersons from that original
clan left around anywhere.
We must live for today and not
dwell In the past or we will surely
, • tot away, but there is no question
that we should be aware of where
we came from and who made it
possible for us to be where wo are
today. That to what makes eld time
community homecomings so valu-
able.
