You can avoid a delay in your Federal
income lax refund if you show your
correct Social Security number on your
tax return. The Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) will make sure you have provided
the correct number before it pays your
refund.
In past years, IRS matched the names
and Social Security numbersof taxpayers
and their spouses. This year, it also will
check the names and numbers of hll
dependents listed on the returns.
(Dependents age one or older must have
a Social Security number.)
You should also check the Social
Security numberon your W-2 statements
and pay stubs to make sure it matches
the one on your card. If there’s a
discrepancy, tell your employer
immediately.
If you don’t have a number, or you
need one for a dependent, call or visit

Miss Texas Talks To Students
About Life As A Beauty Queen
By Casey Weslenrieder
Herald Editor
Never give up, say “No! ” to drugs and
believe in yourself were the goals Miss
Texas Arian Archer conveyed to her
audiences Friday on a visit to Tulia
schools.
In her speech to Highland elementary
and Tulia Junior High students, Archer
said the way to achieve these goals was
to be dedicated, persistent and deter-
mined.
Archer gave examples from her own
life that dealt with the content of her
motivational talk to area youth, includ-
ing an instance where she placed last in
her first beauty contest.
She said she worked hard and kept to
her goals until she achieved them.
“I’ve been in nine pageants all to-
gether,” Archer said. “I came in last in
my first one but I kept trying. I was in
shock after I won Miss Texas because it
only took me two years. Usually Miss
Texas has been competing in the (Miss
Texas) pageant for four or five years.
“The first year I competed I placed
35th and the second time I won. My life
changed ovemighL”
Archer explained that, literally, over-
night, she had a new life: a new home,
a new job and a new roommate.
‘They try to tell you about the changes
but you can never be prepared to be
Miss Texas,” Archer said. “It’s fun,
hard work and exciting — all at the
same time.”
Coming from Borger, Archer feels
she has an advantage when talking to
groups from small town like her own.
“Smaller towns are more receptive,”
she said. “Somebody asked me at the
junior high, ‘If I came from a small
town, docs that mean I can be Miss
Texas, just like you?’ And said ‘Yes. If
I can do it coming from Borger, Texas,
anyone can do it.”
Last year Archer represented Texas
in the Miss America pageant and placed
in the Top 10. But the feeling of being
on national television in front of mil-
lions of viewers did not hit the beauty
queen until some time after it was over.
“After I won Miss Texas I had seven
weeks to train for the Miss America
pageant,” Archer said. “After that was
over, I was booked for a lot of speaking
engagements so it really didn’t hit me
until later.
“I do remember thinking, ‘This will
be the one time 1 have to be on stage on
national TV.’ So I just went on and did
the best I could.”
Archer said the television version of

ARIAN ARCHER
the vindictive and jealous beauty pag-
eant contestants was all TV hype, at
least in the case of Miss America.
“All the girls competing for Miss
America are all so genuine and real,”
she said. “It’s still very competitive
though. There is a lot of competition at
the state level, but when you are com-
peting for Miss America, you’re at a
different level and you rise to that level.”
Although the life of Miss Texas is a
lot of work, there is time for some type
of personal. Archer said.
She said about once a month she is
able to see her boyfriend, Dave, who
attends Oklahoma State University.
“We can go out to dinner we have to
be very careful because people talk,”
she said.
Archer steps down as Miss Texas in
July, which is the 50-year anniversary
of the pagcanL and she plans to continue
her studies at Texas Tech University.
A music education major, she plans to
teach at a high school, preferably in
Texas, she said.
Highland music teacher Christine
Watson said she had a lot of respect for
Archer and was glad to have a chance to
meet Miss Texas.
“I think this is wonderful,” Watson
said. “This is a once in a lifetime expe-
rience to have the opportunity to hear
her message.”

Nashville Celeb To ‘Rub Elbows’ In Happy
Nashville singer/songwritcr Jana Stanfield is known to rub elbows with the likes
of Garth Brooks and Reba McEntire. But Thursday, she will be taking a message
to the students of Happy High School.
The program will begin at 10:30 a.m. and the message Stanfield hopes to convey
is to make the right choice of staying away from drugs and alcohol.
Stanfield travels the country performing and shares her songs in schools, concert
halls, churches, colleges ana at alcohol and drug treatment centers.
She said her programs are humorous and filled with heart-warming insights
about life, which keeps her in demand as a professional speaker, as well as a
performing artist — two occupations she said go hand-in-hand.
“I can’t sing without speaking and I can’t speak without singing,” Stanfield said.
“With a dual career as a professional speaker who sings and as a singer/songwriter
with a lot to say about life, I am able to enjoy doing it all.”
Stanfield is a double-platinum songwriter having sold more than two-million
copies of some of her songs, including those recorded by McEntire, Andy
Williams, Gary Morris, John Schneider and Suzy Bogguss.
A recent hit written by Stanfield, recorded by McEntire, is featured on the
soundtrack of “Eight Seconds,” a film starring Luke Perry and Cynthia Geary. The
Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is using the song, “If I Had Only Known,”
as an emotional finale to an education program created to demonstrate to teens and
pre-teens the damage to people’s lives from alcohol abuse.
