Former Dublinite
wins dual honors
at Elgin banquet
Don Hudson, former Dublin resi-
dent, has become the first person to
•ever win the dual honors of Out-
standing Citizen and Agriculturist
of the Year from the Elgin Cham-
ber of Commerce.
Hudson, son of Hershel Hudson
of Dublin and husband of former
Dublin resident Sylvia Brown,
moved to Elgin with his family in
1967 after he graduated from Texas
A&M. He has been teaching in the
Elgin Independent School District
since then.
The Courier, Elgin’s weekly
newspaper, said of Hudson: “Dur-
ing more than 20 years he has been
involved in countless activities,
most of which his participation
stemmed from his love of kids and
community and his concern for the
overall growth and well-being of
each.”
Hudson was applauded for his
contributions to the Elgin Western
Days, the Livestock Association,
the Wildcat Booster Club, the Vege-
tation Project on the school cam-
puses, the walking trail and for
heading up the Elgin ISD’s Tech
Prep program. “Add to all these
accomplishments a genuinely sin-
cere and unselfish personality and
you can quickly understand why
Don Hudson won these honors,"
says The Courier.

MemberFTMr
Patty Hirst’s seventh grade litera-
ture class recently turned their
attention to their ancestors and the
contributions they made to the life-
style the students now enjoy. Mrs.
Hirst used a poem entitled
“Lineage" by Margaret Walker to
illustrate her theme. The students
responded with details about their
own ancestors.
Lineage
by Margaret Walker
My grandmothers were strong.
They followed plows and bent to
toil
They moved through fields sow-
ing seed.
They touched earth and grain
grew.
They were full of sturdiness and
singing.
My grandmothers were strong.
My grandmothers are full of
memories
Smelling of soap and onions and
wet clay
With veins rolling roughly over
quick hands
They have many clean words to
say.
My grandmothers were strong.
Why am 1 not as they?
What I Owe My Ancestors
By Amanda Whisenant
I owe my ancestors a lot for
everything I am today. My parents
allow me to get a good education,
and they provide me with clothes,
shelter, and food. The reason they
are able to do this is because their
parents worked hard to get them
through. My great uncle was the
(blank) at Dublin for a while. While
he was the superintendent the first
grass was planted on what is now
the junior high and high school
campus. Also my great great grand-
parents bought the farm that started
the Whisenants living in Dublin,
Texas. Long before they were bom
a group of Whisenants came to
America and decided to live in
Texas. They made me an American
and a Texan. My much more
ancient, ancestors set up the United
States government and economy
which we may be slowly ruining
today. I believe that we all owe
something to our ancestors.
Grandparent
By Dee Anne Harris
***^
The person I chose to ask the
questions to is my grandmother.
She started to work at the Age of 15
at a laundromat. Her dad helped lay
down all of the brick roads here in
Dublin. He got 75 cents a day and
worked from daylight to dark. She
said there was a lot of rashioning of
sugar, tires, gas and cigarretts. She
said each year a family only got a
certain amount of stamps and if
they ran out of them could not buy
anything including food. She said
no matter how much money you
had, if you ran out of stamps you
could not even use your money.
She said the struggles in her family
are the same that she has right now;
she doesn’t have enough money.
We all get to come to school
because of all of the sacrifices that
our ancestors have made in the past.
If I had to go out on my own I
could probably get a job but mak-
ing at the most minimum wage at a
job. I have to work from daylight to
dark. If I stay in school I will get a
job making way more than mini-
mum wage and not even having to
work twice as long. As I listened to
all the things my grandmother had
to say I was very interested and
wanted to write more but I have
hardly any room on the page so this
is what I wrote.
Talk with Grandparent
By Mindy McConnell
For my paper I talked to my
grandmother. She said that her dad
started working at age 6, and
became head of the home at age 15
after his father died. She said that
during the depression her family
mostly ate beans and combread
seven days a week. Her daddy
worked from sunup until sundown
for 25 cents a day. They all had to
work very hard in the cotton field.
When I asked her what some
difficulties were during World War
II, she said, "There was rationing
on most things.’’ Anything from
gas to tires to sugar and even
coffee. Also most imported goods
were rationed. During the dust bowl
my grandmother and family lived in
Dalhart, Texas. She said the dust
storms were so bad that even while
they were in the house they had to
wear sheets over their faces to
shield the dust from getting in their
eyes and lungs. She said that some-
times it looked like night during the
day, the dust was so bad. During
the worst storms they couldn’t even
see each other across the hall in
their home. She said the livestock
also had it very bad during the dust
bowl. She said the dust would beat
the hair off of the cattle. My
grandparents and their parents and
on and on have been through a lot.
Since they have been through so
much we should be thankful for
what they have pulled through and
done for us.
Family
By Kyle Keith r
My Grandfather said he was not
hungry during the depression. He
said that because he lived on a farm
while he was growing up. He
always had enough to eat by the
chickens, the cows, and the garden.
He said he really didn’t have
money any way so he didn’t miss
any during the depression. He also
said that he got all his money from
shelling and selling popcorn he got.
It was enough to go to the picture
show, get a coke and a comic book.
His dad went to work for himself
around 15 to 16. He said the
drought was very harmful to the
crops.
