The 1960 yearbook yields history (Part 2)

All of last week’s information came from the 1960 Mustang yearbook, which I think is the most informative one I’ve ever seen. The staff included Senior Editors Linda Hilbun and Betty Jo Stevens and Junior Editors Beth Burtis, Johnny Standley, and Carol Gustine. Louis Piboin was photographer, C.A. Bedinger drafting artist, and Charles Grizzle sports editor. Jolene Hamby and Fannie Sue Merchant were the typists. I enjoyed this yearbook so am sharing lots from it here. That yearbook advisor, Miss Louise Hatcher, and the staff made this an exceptional history book. It even included the facts that the school year began on August 31 and morning classes began at 8:35 each morning! It also included the fact that this 1959 homecoming celebration was the second one ever in Madisonville, so we know when the first was held. This wasn’t a yearbook really, it’s a history book!

Last Saturday, the Llano Country Opry put on a star-studded show at the Lantex Theater in Llano, TX, and our own Colby Sheppard of Madisonville, Texas performed. Colby, the son of Shelli and Troy Sheppard, who started off learning to play the fiddle at age 4 with his grandfather Donnie Colwell, even performed at that early age at Western Swing Music Concerts.
