Hie Dublin Progress
Marie's Musing*
Quite a lot of rain has fallen in the
Dublin area during the past week.
Ethel Black of the Edna Hill com-
munity called us last Tuesday after-
noon (after we had gone to press) and
reported they had received 13.6” of
rain on Sept. 1-2. It has rained off and
on since then. Dublin has recorded
5.35” since the first of September.
I feel sorry for our peanut farmers.
It kept raining at planting time arid
now that harvest time is ap-
proaching, it’s rainufg ag&in
Everyone I talked to at the Elemen-
tary School Open House Sunday after-
noon were pleased with the ap-
pearance of the new building. I heard
many comments about bow nice
everything looked and how hard the
teachers had worked to get
everything ready.
Dale Coi told me he was among the
students attending the old elemen-
tary school when it was brand new.
He said during the first six months of
his first year in Dublin they attended
classes at the First Baptist Church
while work was completed on the
building.
I was asked Sunday when The
Dublin Progress will publish the
photos and biographies of the
teachers and school staff which were
not included in the special edition
published Aug. 27.
We plan to complete our introduc-
tion to the DISD staff by the end of
September. I had hoped to run it
earlier, but have delayed it due to the
increase in school enrollment. This
will give us time to be sure we have
included any staff members hired to
meet the needs of the increased
enrollment.
Dublin schools have 116 more
students than they had this time last
year and 125 more than the 1964 first
month enrollment. Growing in one
year from 807 students to 923 is a huge
jump for a school of Dublin’s size.
Enrollment will probably increase
during the coming months, if it
follows normal trends for DISD.
Without the new elementary’ school
building, where would the space have
been found for these additional
students?
In order to make up for the ex-
pected loss of federal funding, the
Dublin Senior Citizens Center will be
holding a number of fund raising ac-
tivities during coming months.
A musical has been scheduled Sept.
16 at 7 p.m. at the school auditorium.
The center plans to being collecting
aluminum cans as soon as they can
find a trailer to set up at the center.
They also plan to sell a cookbook
which will contain about 510 recipes.
Funds from the musical will be us-
ed for the nutrition program which
serves about 70 lunches at the center
each day and about 40 lunches to folks
at borne.
I’m sure your support of these
special projects or any donation
would be greatly appreciated. Talk to
Jimmie Cogbura, center director, to
see how you can help.

The Academic Awards Program
Committee has issued a news release
reminding Dublin Independent
School District students of the honor
program and seeking financial
assistance from the community to
help provide the awards for the
school’s top students.
The Academic Awards Program
was established during the 1985-86
school year to recognize and honor
outstanding achievement in
academic work Requirements for
the honor are more stringent than
those for membership in the National
Honor Society, said committee chair-
man Jim Leatherwood
To be eligible for the award,
students must be in grades 4-12 and
have been enrolled in DISD for at
least one semester with transfer

their conduct must be satisfactory. as
decided by the faculty committee

students receive their awards in May
Jackets are presented during a public
ceremony during September to high
school winners for the preceding
September-June school year
"We need more than 6500 to kick off
the program this fall, said Donna
Hightower, secretary We'll take
donations of any size
Leatherwood said the committee
will be presenting 13 jackets this fall
and that each jacket will cost approx-
imately 640 each
’ Since this is the first year of the
program, we are presenting jackets
to everyone in high school who
qualifies," leatherwood said In
coming years we will probably not be
presenting this many jackets since
each student only gets one jacket
leatherwood said the committee
expects the annual cost of the pro-
gram to be around 6500
"To initiate the program, this year
First National Bank will underwrite
the cost of the program above dona
lions received." leatherwood stated
Individuals or organizations
wishing to make donations should
send them to the Academic Awards

Walk into any classroom and youll learn why electricity may
be the most important school supply your kids use.
* Calculators and computers. Typewriters and tape recorders.
They're just some of the exciting tools todays teachers can use to
make learning more rewarding. And they all run on electricity.
That's the power of education.

Another Alternative For Your Relationship
v >
If you know another optipn instead of divorce, boredom,
or depression in your relationship, would you take it?
- Many couples are looking for a positive, relatively happy
relationship with another person. In our age of drugs,
unrest, financial pressure and parenting problems is this
possible?
Yes, by looking for what I call "The Third Alternative."
You can choose peace instead of conflict. You can
choose love instead of badgering demands. "How can I
do this?" you ask. This can be accomplished by changing
your attitude and your "Stinkin Thinkin” as Zig Ziglgler
would say. Need help or a few ideas? Contact Dr. Lloyd
Howell for more information.
