Bible study Wednesday night was
very good. Robert Spinks was our
teacher. There were ten p/esent.
They were Carol 'lliompson, A1
Phillips, Robert and Irma Spinks,
Roger, Thurman, and Woodrow
Asbill, Jeanie Barrett, Bob Hunton
and Mary Bishop.
Eight people from the class of
1942 ate lunch together Wednesday.
I was a guest of Mary Jo (Teny)
Fatheree. Others there were Irma
and Robert Spinks, Dorthy Rob-
erson, Audie Mae Shiflet, Ardy
Williams Flowers, and Sadie and
Paul McKay.
Elm Churchhouse got a good
cleaning Tuesday by Irma Spinks
and Wanda Traylor. I came in from
Green Acres Nursing Home in time
to help a little.
Floyd George McKinney called
and asked me to write him how the
class reunion turned out. Irma
Spinks made pictures so we plan to
send him some. He and I finished in
1943, and Irma was four years later.
Floyd George has a back problem
so he cannot come to a class re-
union. He was president of our
class, and a good one.
Wednesday was Wanda Traylor’s
birthday and she was very busy. She
took her mother to see the doctor,
and she got a good report.
Dorthy Crabb will see a doctor in
Winnsboro Tuesday and goes Mon-
day to get things set up.
Leon Asbill went to see his doc-
tor Friday. His shoulder is hurting
him. He hasn’t heard from the MR!
yet. Leon Asbill, Jr. visited his par-
ents this weekend, and the food he
brought was great.
Marshall Bishop’s visitors were
Sally Dittman, Lucy Magee, Hilda
Ellison, Mona Lee Ramsey, Wood-
row Asbill, Jeanie Barrett, Gary
Bishop, Jason Hoi, Wanda Traylor,
Pauline and James Turnipseed,
Ester L. Vititow, Billy Frank Cooke,
George Calhoun, and me. Marshall
loves a bath and takes a long map
afterwards.
A1 Fuller did very good filling in
for Rev. AJ Fuller Sunday morning.
There weren’t many dry eyes in
Elm Church when he finished.
There were 20 adults plus chil-
dren’s church present. Singing was
very good too.
It was nice to hear from Sue
Prather of Dallas. She went to
school with me in second grade.
Marshall received a pretty card
from Sue. She and Betty June
Garrett had lunch together the other
day.
Bertie Young had lots of com-
pany Sunday. I got there in time to
say hello to them.
What good things will we do this
week? Remember when the sun
goes down, it will take a part of
your life with it. We are here only a
short time so don’t waste your time.

EMPLOYEES ENJOY RAINS COUNTY - Several of Emory's local busi-
nesses provided services for Safetel, Inc., out of Richardson. The owners
organized a very special weekend retreat to show their appreciation to their
“wonderful” employees and their families. The business sells long-distance
calling cards and is rapidly expanding. As a reward for all the hard work, the
ladies enjoyed a “spa day.” Betsy Stiles and Cori Schellinger of Heaven’s
Touch Massage Therapy were on hand to give relaxing massages. They
called in three more therapists, Becky Smith, Jane Goldsmith and Lisa
Smith, to help out. Bobbie Thorpe from A Mane Event provided all the ladies
with manicures. Bobbie had help from three other manicurists, including
Lexie Alexander. The men were taken fishing by local fishing guides. Boats
were rented from Lake Fork Outboard Service Center and Boat Rental. The
Safetel guests stayed at Lake Fork Marina, Lake Fork Lodge, and Lake Fork
Resort. Donuts were delivered by Donut Supreme. A wonderful lunch was
catered by In the Garden Tea Room. The children were even supplied with
babysitters and games and prizes. Many of the guests said they would def-
initely be coming back to see us. Cori Schellinger is pictured (left) giving a
chair massage, while another employee enjoys a manicure (right photo).
Lone Oak educator trains at
Texas Lutheran University
WE BUILD METAL BUILDINGS
SEGUIN - They came from far
and wide, from Austin to Arizona,
from Tulsa to Texas.
More than 350 middle and high
school teachers from across the
states of Arizona, Oklahoma and
Texas met to share ideas and expe-
riences at the annual Advanced
Placement Summer Institute held at
Texas Lutheran University July lb-
20.
Lone Oak High School employee
Susan Draper was one of those who
took part in the event.
The institute, which is put on by
the University’s Extended Learning
Office, is an opportunity for AP and
Pre-AP teachers and administrators
to learn new skills and hone their
knowledge in specially designed
classes and field trips. The AP
Summer Institute is a cooperative
effort between The College Board
and universities, and it is endorsed
by The College Board.
Draper participated in the Eng-
lish: Literature & Composition
track, which included five days of
classes with professionally trained
educators.
Advanced Placement (AP)
courses are accelerated, college-
level instruction that high school
students can take to get a jump-start
on their college curriculum. High
school students who take AP classes
are exposed to college-level mater-
ial, and they may earn college credit
for their work while still in high
school.
Arline Patterson, director of ex-
tended learning at Texas Lutheran
University, coordinates the annual
event. “TLU’s AP and Pre-AP Sum-
mer Institutes offer subject-specific
courses that provide support and
professional development in the
teaching of AP and Pre-AP courses.
It serves as a forum for the ex-
change of ideas and the latest infor-
mation about the AP exams and ver-
tical teaming,” she says.
This is the fourth year Texas
Lutheran has hosted this unique
summer institute.
Teachers at the institute chose
one of 19 tracks, ranging from
chemistry to English literature to
calculus to Spanish. Once placed
into a track, the teacher followed a
daily schedule that included
approximately seven hours of class-
room training.
Being AP teachers, though, many
of these educators sought to liven
things up a bit. The middle school
science teachers spent the day at the
Lake McQueeney field station
examining water life, and the
Spanish teachers checked out the
Rockefeller Art Institute at the San
Antonio Museum of Art.
Outside of class, the teachers
spent their evenings visiting the his-
toric San Antonio River Walk,
which is about 30 minutes away
from TLU, or shopping at the outlet
malls in nearby San Marcos.
One of the things that sets the
TLU AP Institute apart from other
summer educational experiences is
the level of professionalism the
teachers were exposed to in the
classroom, Patterson says. “The
educators that come in to teach the
teachers are all outstanding,” she
says. “Many of them have decades
of experience in the classroom
themselves; others are professionals
in their respective academic fields.
All of them are excellent presenters
who motivate and excite the teach-
ers.
This annual workshop will be
held at Texas Lutheran University
again next July. For information,
call 830-372-8047.
“I think this is absolutely a real
honor to host the teachers for this
workshop, because teachers leave
such a direct impact in preparing
students for college,” Patterson
says. “And these teachers are the
best of the best. We are honored to
be able to work with them.”
Texas Lutheran University, offer-
ing degrees in 27 academic dis-
ciplines and ten pre-professional
programs, has been reportedly rec-
ognized by U.S. News & World
Report as one of the ten best liberal
arts colleges in the Western United
States, as well as the No. 1 financial
value in its category in *the 2001
rankings. The University offers a
number of unique academic pro-
grams for the community through-
out the year.
