School worth the wait
By DAVID HARRINGTON
UP Managing Editor
Bonnie Doiron
Most students wanting to go to college often
go directly after graduation. For Bonnie
Doiron, the wait between high school and col-
lege was 45 years. And she says she has never
regretted going to Lamar.
The 65-year-old mass communications
sophomore is the winner of this year’s
outstanding older-than-average student
award, sponsored by the Speech 434 class,
Persuasion.
“I don’t think they should be labelling me
the most outstanding older-than-average stu-
dent,” Bonnie jokes. “Maybe the most
notorious, but not the most outstanding.”
Bonnie was bom in the sawmill town of
Remlig, which, she said, is “Gilmer spelled
backwards, named after Gilmer Oil.” She
was reared in several backwoods East Texas
sawmill towns and graduated from Lufkin
High School in 1934.
Married in 1939 to Jesse J.W. Doiron Sr. a
6-4, 275-pound retired Mobil Oil employee jok-
ingly referred to by the family as “The
Monster,” the Doirons reared five children
and built their own home in Beaumont in 1956.
It was nine years after their youngest son
(Jesse Doiron Jr., a Lamar graduate and
former UP news and feature writer)
graduated from high school before Bonnie
decided to try her hand at college life.
Although she claims she is “not very
bright,*’ she says that she tries to study and
^trork hard to remember things. A 3.63 grade
point average indicates that she doesn’t do
badly at it.
She finds time between studying
coursework to write a weekly column for the
University Press, “As I Was Saying,” which
often deals with her past experiences and
with trivia details. She has also contributed
articles to Cardinal magazine.
A lover of words and facts who “writes as I
talk,” she says,. “My mind is a trivia-
cluttered attic.”
Although she said it was fun watching her
children grow up, she says she feels children
are best after they have grown up.
Bonnie, who Says she prefers the life of a
student to housework and cooking, lacks three
hours this semester being a junior, and die
expects to graduate “by the time Hhley’s
Comet comes along.” • ' •, *-: ; v -
of the fall 1981 semester. The series
advertised Teachers Credit Union.
Jones and Hunter received a
second-place award for newspaper
single advertising competition for an
ad published Dec. 4,1981. The ad was
for Park Place Hospital.
The final second-place award went
to Wilson for newspaper illustration.
Wilson also received a third-place
award for newspaper single page
makeup. The page was an enter-
tainments page printed Sept. 11,1981,
featuring the Beaumont Symphony
season.
Hughes received a third-place
award for newspaper sports feature.
The story—“Broussard finds new
friends at Lamar”—profiled Cardinal
football player Charles Broussard
and was published Nov. 11,1981.
In newspaper special effects photo,
Newton received second place, while
Hunter received his final award, also
a second place, for newspaper car-
toon. Crystal Beach graduate Wanda
Wright, a former UP staff writer now
living in Nederland, also received a
third-place award for her newspaper
feature entitled “Rape: Hospitals,
police show concern, support for to-
day’s crime victim,” published
March 4,1981.
Rounding out the newspaper
awards were two honorable mentions,
one for a newspaper picture story
done by Martin, and the other going to
Beaumont graduate Marvin Mon-
tgomery, former UP staff writer,for
newspaper news story.
Representing Lamar at the conven-
tion, held on the campus of Angelo
State University, were Scoggins,
Hunter and Kristi Jordan, Bridge City
senior. Jordan is past parliamen-
tarian of the association, which is
made up of 51 colleges and univer-
sities in Texas.
HOUSTON (UPI)-A 9-year-old
boy questioned by police for the
shooting death of an 8-year-old girl
cannot be prosecuted for any
criminal acts in Texas because of
his age.
Family Judge Criss Cole said
Monday under Tex’a'&'Fahuly Code
a child cannot be prosecuted until
he is at least 10 years old.
However, in certain cases parents
can be deemed negligent in pro-
viding supervision and care, and
child welfare officials can file a
petition in juvenile court to gain
custody.
The boy remained in his
parents’ custody today. He
allegedly threatened other
children with his father’s rifle
before shooting and killing a
young girl Sunday. "
Michael Elaine Pettye, 8, died
early Monday from a single bullet
wound to her head. She had been
playing near her home with a
group of children when she was
shot with a .22 caliber rifle.
Sheriff’s officials Said Monday
they have officially ruled the
shooting an accident.
