The last day of May . . and
we can’t deny it any longer.
SUMMER IS HERE And a sign
of the times came last Friday at
approximately 3 p.m., school
having been officially about
three hours. 1 met a friend, who
reported that her children were
already at lose ends with the
“what can I do now, Mom” fe-
ver.
It’s also a sign of the times that
suddenly it would seem that 1
have practically no news. AH
meetings are dispensed with for
the summer, what with garden-
ers being too busy pulling weeds
to attend meetings, I guess. No
school doings news. You’d think
everyone had gone into hiding.
And yet. I know that Sharps-
town must be full of news about
people going places arid having
visitors and doing interesting
things. That’s what we want to
know about.
GLAD BUT SAD TIDINGS —
Now, of course, the Adrian Beck-
ers of 7426 Dunlap are going to
be doing something quite inter-
esting, only their friends and
neighbors wish they wouldn’t.
And, after all, who wants to
leave Sharpstown and move to
Jackson, Mississippi. Rita and
Adrian don’t really want to
move, and yet they are mighty
happy about Adrian’s promotion
to Regional Geophysicist with
Continental Oil Company! They
are excited too about the home
they are going to build in Jack-
son, which will be ready for them
by September. They have rented
house there for the summer.
And they are excited too about
the wonderful school their two
boys, 10-year-old Charles and 7_
year-old Billy, will attend in
Jackson.
To complicate moving time,
Charles and Billy celebrated the
end of school by breaking out
with the red measles. Rita re-
port s that they are mighty sick
little boys, but the doctor says
they will be well enough to tra-
vel by next Monday’s moving
day.
We’re sure sorry to see the
Beckers go, but we do wish them
all the luck in the world in their
new hometown.

MOVING OUT, MOVING IN—
And we’re always happy to wel-
come new residents of Sharps-
town. For the past year, Dolores
and Dick French had been look-
ing for the house they wanted to
buy in San Antonio. They wanted
to find just the right house for
their family. But before they
found their dream house, Dick
was transferred to Houston, as
manager of the parts division of
General Motors.
They’d heard about Sharps-
town and decided to buy a house
right away, but Dolores left the
job of finding a house up to
Dick, feeling pretty sure that af-
ter their year of house hunting,
he’d know exactly what they
wanted. Her only admonition;
find a house close to a school.
Being a loyal and dutiful hus-
band, Dick almost overdid his
task,’ for he bought a house
whose back yard joins the play-
ground of the new Bonham Ele-
mentary School. And that’s a-
bout as close as you can get.
But Dolores is delighted with
her home and the fast growing
neighborhood around 7538
Grape. And she’s delighted with
the new school for her children
to attend, especially since Doug-
las, now 4, will be ready for kin-
dergarten soon. The other French
children are 10 year old Denise
and baby Don, 1% years old.
ALL THE WAV FROM CALI-
FORNIA TO BREAK A LEG???
—That’s the sad but true story
of 8 year old Dewayne Allen.
The Allen family, moved into
their new home at 8403 Braes
River Drive a couple of months
ago having moved here from
Nor’wal, California. Of course,
ihey got right into the middle of
the building boom around Bon-
ham School, and Mildred Allen
kept after Dewayne to be careful
riding his bicycle in the streets,
because of the number of work
trucks zipping up and down hith-
er and yon. But there are times
when talking to an eight year
old boy is like . . . well, like talk-
ing to a wall. And about three
weeks ago, Dewayne met with a
truck or vice versa. Luckily, De-
dayne’s only injury was a broken
leg, which sports a large and
long and itchy cast.
It’s too bad that Dewayne had
to be the test case, but we hope
the experience will make Moth-
ers a bit more aware, children a
little more careful, and truck
drivers and all other drivers a
lot more cautious.
Mildred and E. L. Allen also
have a 15 year old daughter, Car-
ole, who just finished out her
school year at Jane Long.
WELCOME FROM AUSTIN—
We welcome another new family
to our midst from Austin. They
are the Bernard SchwarabaUm,
who came from (tie capitoi eity
a couple of weeks ago and are
getting settled in their Shari*;*
town home at 7JH4 Mahoning
Drive. Bernard and-Sandra h*»e
three youngsters: fryear old Ann,
5 year old Dsn* and- 3 year old
Cathy. And come next Octotoex,
it will be “baby- makes 4.”
ALL THE W4I FROM WEST
UNIVERSITY—Four years wg*>
when Joe and Dorothy Mar?
married, they became apartment
dwellers. But after the birth of
their daughter, Cathy, they found
they needed a house, .so they
moved to West University. Then
Charles came along, and the
Marrs decided it was time to take
the giant step and look for a
home of their own ... and they
found their dream house in Sec-
tion 5 of Sharpstown. And so Joe
and Dorothy and Cathy, now 2,
and Charles, now Vk months,
moved into their new home at
7311 Lugary about six weeks
ago, and we’re mighty glad to
have them. Dorothy is originally
from Bay City but Joe is a Hous-
tonian.
TO MIX BUSINESS WITH
PLEASURE —The Rev. Robert
Latham of Sharpstown Baptist
Church and his family left early
Monday morning Jo take a week
of their vacation on their way to
attend the convention of South-
ern Baptists to be held June 5
through 8 in San Francisco. The
Lathams plan is for an easy pil-
SOUTH AMERICA, PLEASE
DON’T TAKE THEM AWAY —
Now that the Luis Sampers have
found themselves a borne in
Sharpstown. we hope they’ll be
Houstonians and Stoarpstowners
for a long time to come. Bui rt
took quite a story to bring them
this far. Dr. Samper is from Col-
umbia, South America. He eame
to the United States to study for
his Medical Degree at Tulant in
New Orleans. Once he had an
M.D. behind his name he went l«
Columbus, Georgia for his in-
ternship. And there he caught the
eye of a lovely Southern BHl©
by the name of Wynnette. So,
what more natural. Columbia
and Columbus decided to make
it a twosome, and* (tie newlywed
Sampers move to Houston, where
Dr. Samper is studying on a Fel-
lowship in Infectious Diseases at
Baylor University Medical
School.
Up until 6 weeks ago. the
Sampers were also apartment
dwellers, living down in the
Montrose area, convenient to the
Medical Center, but like the
Marrs, found that a house anti
a yard was a necessity with two
small children. The Samper
youngsters are 2 year old Luis,
Jr. and 2 month old Anna.
GRADUATION, THEN A SUM-
MER IN THE BEG CITY— Since
Garland, Texas, is just outside
Dallas, the Dallas Chamber of
Commerce might frown on the
idea of a Garland High School
Graduate leaving the Big D area
and coming to Houston in search
of a job and a summer of fun.
But then, they probably don’t
know about the Harts. Kenneth
and Mary Hart, Sharpstowners
of 7821 Sandpiper, went to Gar-
land over this past week end to
be present at the graduation of
Mary’s little sister, Carolyn Sto-
ver. And when they left after a
nice visit they brought Carolyn
back with them to spend the
summer. Carolyn’s delighted
with the prospect and is eagerly
looking forward to finding a job
and getting out and about in
Houston.
