| WHEREAS, Proud members of the Winnsboro High School Class | ||
| of 1973 are celebrating their 50th reunion on October 28, 2023; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, This milestone event marks half a century since | ||
| the seniors of 1973 walked across the stage to receive their | ||
| diplomas, and this reunion is a testament to the strong bonds and | ||
| enduring friendships that they forged during their formative | ||
| years at Winnsboro High; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The free-spirited, fun-loving, and independent | ||
| nature of the Class of 1973 was apparent early on, from a junior | ||
| year chaperone-free party that members hosted at Lake Winnsboro | ||
| to their New Orleans senior trip to their selection of the 1972 | ||
| hit "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers as their class song; despite | ||
| their freewheeling attitude toward most things, the students | ||
| chose a traditional class motto, "What lies behind us and what | ||
| lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us," | ||
| and that sentiment has surely continued to inspire them as they | ||
| have gone on to make their marks on their communities, their | ||
| state, and the world in the decades since their graduation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The individuals who shared this journey as | ||
| members of the Class of 1973 are Michael Altaffer, Diane | ||
| Armstrong, Jerry Arrington, Les Paul Beard, Mary Lee Beard, Molly | ||
| Beth Beene, Mary Bellomy, Kenneth Bradshaw, Michael Bradshaw, | ||
| Dennis Breithaupt, Debra Brewer, Ronald Brown, Johnny Burford, | ||
| Cathy Callaway, Randy Cason, Dianna Cejner, Garry Dodd, Thomas | ||
| Dodgen, David Dossey, Rita Ellenburg, Steven Ellison, Eddie | ||
| Fannin, Clyde Folmar, Sandra Fulmer, John Earl Futral, Ronny | ||
| Gilbreath, Debra Hayes, Shirley Haygood, Debra Henry, Darwin | ||
| Henson, Wade Hoffman, Sue Honeycutt, Debra Hood, Catherine | ||
| Hudson, Ross Hunter, Randy Irby, Diane Jones, Jerry Kennedy, | ||
| Michael Little, Charlotte Love, Reba Mabry, Michael McAdoo, | ||
| Vickey McMullen, David Mell, Donald Michael, Debra Sue Miears, | ||
| Larry Mitchell, Marina Mize, David Murley, Laura Paschall, Lacy | ||
| Pruitt, Walter Ragsdale, John Rayborn, Vicky Redding, Samuel | ||
| Rushing, Joe Shirley, Michael Shirley, Melody Smith, Judy | ||
| Spears, Danny Spence, Paula Stewart, Richard Swanner, George | ||
| Taylor, Alice Thompson, Paul Tipps, Doris Vance, Reggie Wallis, | ||
| Kay Willard, Frederick Williams, Lynan Williams, Shirley Foster | ||
| Wilson, and Marcus Woodle; and | ||
| WHEREAS, As they have gone their respective ways, the men | ||
| and women of the Class of 1973 have continued to cherish their | ||
| memories of Winnsboro High and all that they learned, | ||
| accomplished, and experienced during their time there, and it is | ||
| indeed fitting to honor them for their camaraderie and their | ||
| enduring school spirit; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the | ||
| graduation of the Winnsboro High School Class of 1973 and extend | ||
| to its members sincere best wishes for a meaningful and memorable | ||
| reunion; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Winnsboro High School Class of 1973 as an | ||
| expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
| Hughes | ||
