Phillips Graduates LHS After 62 Years

By Darwin Robinson

It took 62 years, but Delbert Phillips finally graduated from Lockney High School. Phillips was presented his high school diploma from LHS at the 2004 Homecoming Reunion at the Floyd County Friends Unity Center on Saturday, September 18.

Phillips told the crowd of Lockney-exes at their business meeting Saturday afternoon, "I was in the middle of my junior year at Lockney High School, when I went and enlisted in the US Air Corp during World War II. I was discharged at the end of the war in 1946."

Phillips told about coming back to Lockney and trying to re-enroll in LHS. "Principal Clements told me I was too old and too mature to be placed back into high school. He suggested I go to Texas Tech and enroll in college."

Texas Tech turned Phillips down, because he did not have a high school diploma. He told the audience, " I went to West Texas State University in Canyon and tried to enroll there. I was asked to take the entrance exam. I passed it. After about an hour interview, I was told I was doing the right thing and I was accepted."

Phillips graduated from WTSU with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1949. From there he went to a business school in Colorado and graduated with another degree in 1952.

Later in life Phillips was told by an acquaintance, "If there had been a back door to the Alamo, we wouldn't be here today as Texans living in democracy." Phillips said he responded, "There were 600 Texans in the Alamo who were not looking for any back door." The Lockney-exes unanimously applauded that statement.

"I learned to never give up on my dreams," Phillips concluded. He was given a standing ovation.

HOMECOMING BONFIRE CELEBRATION--The Lockney Longhorns were the guests of honor at Lockney's Homecoming Bonfire, Friday, September 17, at the old Fair Grounds in Lockney.


SEE YOU AT THE POLE--Lockney students gathered around the flag pole on Wednesday, September 15, to celebrate the National See You at the Pole prayer time. The student led prayer began at 7:00 a.m. with music and song by First Baptist Youth.


Floyada Exes Coming Home

The Floydada Whirlwinds will face off Farwell in the Homecoming game, Friday night, September 24 at Wester Field. The Homecoming Queen will be named during halftime of the game.

Exes will be special guests at school activities this weekend and all around town at class parties on Friday and Saturday.

Special recognition will go to the classes of 1960-69, 1970-79, during the 2:30 p.m. pep rally on Friday. The classes of 1980-89, 1990-99, 2000-03 will be recognized during the football game.

Saturday's business meeting will be held at the High School gym from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Officers will be elected and awards will be presented to the oldest class member present, oldest gentleman, oldest lady, and ex-student traveling the longest distance.

A barn dance will be held at Floydada Co-op Gin Saturday evening. The live band, "Blue Denim II & Friends" will perform.

Brandon Gilroy Earn Eagle Scout Rank

BRANDON GILROY

Brandon Gilroy, of Lockney's Scout Troop 259, was presented with his Eagle Scout pin at a Court of Honor ceremony September 18. The Court of Honor was held at Trinity Fellowship Church in Plainview.

Brandon entered Scouts at the age of 6 as a Tiger Cub. Although young boys start working on badges when they first enter Scouts it is not until the later years as a Boy Scout that certain merit badges count towards earning your Eagle rank. Brandon is now 18 years old.

Twenty one merit badges have to be earned in a variety of areas, such as: wilderness survival, hiking, first aid, horsemanship, aviation, communications, citizenship, conservation, etc.

Backpacking wilderness areas is a key training requirement for the Scouts and Gilroy can't even remember how many miles he has hiked. He has hiked up the 13,161 foot Wheeler Peak in New Mexico, one 60 mile week long hike in the Pecos Wilderness, an 80 mile 2 week hike at Camp Philmont, and numerous Caprock Canyon weekend backpacking trips.

On the trips Scouts help each other through adversities while developing their own self confidence.

As part of earning his Eagle rank, Gilroy was required to plan, organize, document, and work on a project that would benefit his community.

Gilroy chose to scrape off old paint and clean out dirt and weeds at all the corner curbs on Main Street. The curbs were then painted yellow for no parking.

Gilroy was assisted in his project by the younger Scouts in his troop.

In presenting the Eagle pin, Scoutmaster Bill Hunter said, "Only about 4% of Boy Scouts make the rank of Eagle. Troop 259 has 10 in the last 14 years."

Besides earning his merit badges and doing a project, Gilroy also served as Senior Patrol Leader for one year and answered questions at an Eagle Scout board of review.

Brandon's mother, Alice Gilroy, pinned the Eagle Scout honors on her son. Brandon then put an "Eagle Scout Mother" pin on his mother's collar and an "Eagle Scout Father" pin on his father, Lennie Gilroy.

Brandon was then given a "Mentor's Pin" that he was to present to the person he felt had had a big influence in his life.

Brandon surprised his grandfather, Ken Towery, with the honor and placed the mentor's pin on Towery's lapel.

"My grandfather is respected by people all over the United States," said Gilroy. "I want to be remembered like that."

Of his Eagle Scout award, Gilroy said, "This is the greatest achievement I could accomplish in Scouts, and possibly even my life."

Gilroy is a senior at Lockney High School and plans to pursue a career in flying helicopters.

Letters to the Editor

 Dear Editor,

I am writing in regards to the recent school bond issue. While my timing is a bit late, this still comes as no surprise seeing as how the newspaper has been flooded with letters and articles related to this issue. I am under the impression that the improvements and changes proposed were intended to benefit us, the students. This being true, I find it interesting that we were never even asked what we thought or how we felt about this. I understand that Andrews and Junior High are probably not in the same condition they were in when I attended them, but I still have a few thoughts I would like to share with the community.

All you have heard about is how bad the conditions in these buildings are, but when I think about my days in Andrews and Junior High, it is not the cracks in the ceiling or sewage problems that I recall, but the things that I learned and the teachers and friends that influenced my life. I remember when they took down the stalls in the bathrooms not because they were in bad condition, but because students were writing on them. I remember learning about all the crazy pets that Mrs. Lunsford had somehow collected. I remember learning my first real algebra problem in Mrs. Holster's class. I remember how amazing it felt to complete Mrs. Crossland's great American Challenge and the hard work it took to get there. I remember failing grades in Handwriting with Mrs. Jones and getting so frustrated, but having her there to help me learn to write legible. I remember learning to love books because of Mrs. Gieske reading captivating books with rich accents. I remember my first real science experiment in Mrs. Dorman's class, and how independent it made me feel to complete it on my own. Then there was Mr. Bates' class...but we won't get into that!

The list could go on forever. While new facilities and nicer classrooms would be great and impressive, and they would undoubtedly have educational assets, I know that each student in FISD is presented with the tools necessary to receive an exceptional education and succeed in life because of the curriculum taught by the many wonderful teachers. It is simply each student's choice whether or not to take advantage of this great opportunity. Being at the beginning of my senior year, I am proud to say that I have had a very successful high school career due to the training I received in A.B. Duncan, R.C. Andrews, and Floydada Junior High. I say these things not because of something I read in the newspaper, something someone told me, or a statistic issued by the state, but because I have experienced them.

 

Sincerely,

Meghan Graham


Dear Editor,

First of all, I'd like to thank you in advance for reading my letter. Let me take a minute to introduce myself, my name is Melania VanZandt. I will be a senior in Lockney High School in the year 2004-05. I have been in gymnastics since my 8th grade year. I am involved in basketball, track and band. I am a member of the First Baptist Church in Lockney where I am involved in the youth band. I was a cheerleader my 8th and 9th grade year where I attended West Rusk School in New London, TX. I can say that my dedication and my hard work in my gymnastics classes have paid off. I will proudly be a cheerleader during my senior year in Lockney High.

I attended cheerleading camp this summer, where I was among one chosen out of several girls for the all-star program. This gives me the opportunity to enjoy with other all-star cheerleaders 7 days in London, England (December 26, 2004-January 2, 2005) where we will visit Buckingham Palace (Home of Queen Elizabeth II), The Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral (one of the world's most impressive cathedrals--the one in which Princess Diana got married) among many others sites.

The most important day of the trip will be that I will be in London on New Year's Eve, not only be in London, but will be performing in The New Year's day London Parade, the most incredible event of its kind in the world. We will be performing alongside 10,000 performers before a street side audience of more than one million, and via television, a total audience of more than 20 million around the world. We will dance and cheer our way past Big Ben, Downing Street, Trafalger Square, Piccadilly Circus, The Ritz Hotel and Berkeley Square. Wow, what a day! What a trip!

This trip will cost approximately $4,000. Once again, I am fortunate to have made allstar cheerleader, a chance of a lifetime. I am looking for the public, family and businesses to help make this trip possible for me. I am asking for sponsors, whether it is money or merchandise that can be raffled off. I will also be doing car washing, bake sales and other fund raisers. If you are able to help me make this trip possible, please call me at the below number to pick up items or send donations to my address below.

Thank you and may God bless you.

A View From The Lamplighter | by Ken Towery

 As we write this we have listened all the way from Floyd County to a host of broadcast commentators, we hesitate to call them "reporters", who are all obsessed over the obvious biases of Dan Rather and CBS News.

We are startled. Not because Rather has been exposed as a partisan Democrat who is determined to do what he can to further the Democratic agenda, but because so many of his fellow journalists have indicated skepticism with his latest "revelation."

We came to Austin Monday from Floydada and Lockney (where we had been to witness the presentation, in Plainview, of the coveted Eagle Scout rank to our grandson, Brandon Gilroy), listening to various radio outlets all the way. It didn't matter. Whether CNN, or CNBC, or MSNBC, (which we understand means Micro Soft-National Broadcasting Company), or Fox, the message was the same: CBS and Dan Rather had admitted using fraudulent documents in their unrelenting war against George Bush.

We were startled too because so terribly many people seemed to be surprised by the latest CBS enterprise. CBS has a history of arrogance and shady dealing with stories they undertake to report on. We have witnessed some of it first-hand. We also learned early on not to quarrel with "unimpeachable" sources, or "the most trusted name in America", even if CBS defines those terms. CBS may be arrogant, but CBS controls time slots all across America and can use that time to say, or not say, what it pleases. We think that fact, as much as anything, causes the glee with which Rather's mea culpa is being met in America.

(Long ago we sat in a CBS control room in New York and watched as the noted "anchor" of that day came in, sat down at his desk, went over a stack of papers that had been prepared for him to read, and, as the cameras began to roll, announced solemnly "This is the news." Rats. Still, when some association somewhere wanted a prime time speaker, they were more than happy to pay outrageous fees to acquire someone who could command prime time attention.)

There is no sin in making a mistake. Even less in quickly admitting that mistake. My first journalistic job was for a Publisher, J.W. Howerton, who insisted any mistake made, say on page 6, was corrected on page one the next day and the writer of the original error identified. Needless to say, the staff on our little Cuero Daily Record made every effort to see that we made very few errors. Any time humans put together newspapers, or television programs, human mistakes will be made, and hopefully, corrected. But the CBS "mistake in judgment" was no human mistake. It was simply a situation wherein the facts were tailored to fit the existing bias. And as long as Journalism Schools are taught by frustrated politicians, those facts will continue to be tailored to fit whatever bias exists.

CBS is not alone in its approach to journalism. A whole school has grown up around the idea of "Civic Journalism", which is essentially an effort by various editors to further certain agendas.

Our readers may recall our dealing with this subject before, when Dave McNeely, the Austin American-Statesman's "political editor" (and a thorough-going Democrat) got caught submitting his stories involving Ronnie Earle, the Travis County District Attorney (and a thorough-going Democrat) , to…you guessed it…Ronnie Earle, for comment before even submitting the story to his own editors for publication. Dave is still on the job, and has even added to the stable of papers running his offering. (The Crosby County Review and the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal being only two,)

In the wake of the current fiasco, there is massive speculation over what happens next. Will Rather go? Will CBS stock tumble?

Will CBS continue to lose market share? Will the so-called independent panel of experts promised by CBS brass actually be independent, and will their thrust be to find out both "how" and "why" the story ran. In our opinion, until CBS changes the Corporate culture that now dominates its thinking, it will make no difference. Dan Rather is not the biggest fraud that ever graced the position he now holds. He would have a lot of competition for that title, particularly from the highly-paid "anchors" of the other networks. But as far as we are concerned, the fiasco involving Rather could not have happened to a more deserving guy.
