The Seguin Gazette-Enterprise Wednesday, May 28, 1986- Page 36 School is out and balloons will fill our sky T'ttn 4 The end is here for books and homework! Our warmest and most sincere best wishes go to our graduating senior class of Seguin High School. May all your hopes and dreams for a beautiful future come to pass. You have Just completed building the foundation for your life with your past 12 years of schooling. Some of you will continue to build with four years of college, some of you will go to trade schools, others will be flowing into the daily routine of earning your living in this rough world. Whichever path you have chosen to follow, may you achieve things even beyond your wildest dreams.

Believe in yourself, have faith and know that you are loved. You can do whatever you really set your mind to Carol Springs CAftOl'ftCOftWfft do. Perserverance is the key to victory in anything you wish to attain. May you attain your highest goal! God bless each and every one of you. Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a balloon! Ball Elementary School will be setting free hundreds of helium filled balloons with notes tucked inside for the finder from the sender.

This event is being sponsored by the physical education department with the whole-hearted cooperation of the entire Ball staff. Many thanks go from Ball students to the businesses who donated the balloons: Nolte National Bank, Seguin State Bank, Mazzio's Pizza and the high flying helium balloon from Ewald's Tractor Sales. An extra big "thank you" to each of you! Be on the alert and watch the skies Thursday, May 29. This event marks the end of another school year! We are ending it in a high flying way. In many ways it was a good year, and now we look forward to an even better year in 87-88.

May you, too, expect good things with us. Names and addresses, along with a short message from a student will be found inside each balloon. Their hopes are that whoever finds their balloon will write to them and tell them just where they found their balloon and hopefully will become a pen-pal to the sender. This sounds like fun with hopes for the future. Happy looking at the skies and hope you're a finder! The school menu read "cook-out" and that is exactly what they did! They took the hamburgers out on the school grounds and cooked them over real barbecue pits and served them fresh and hot to the students.

What fun and what delicious hamburgers! The sack lunchers joined in on the fun and ate their lunch out on the campus also. It was different and it Each campus had their day."

Imagine going to your 50th high school class reunion and all members were present and three of your teachers also! That, my friends, is a long time for such a tremendous turnout. Jewel Clift and Maurine Humes did just that and they thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the day at Ingleside with the members of their nigh school class.

True, their class was small, but even so, to have all the members present and three teachers after 50 years is remarkable! Each one spoke to the group and told highlights about their past 50 years. Lots of exciting things had happened to the members of that class and they had fun telling each other about them! Angie Henning recently returned from a trip that was so delightful in every way. She and her niece, Deanie Gillum, of Houston, went to Charleston, S.C. to visit with Deanie's son and his family. It was Angle's very first plane ride and she loved it! "It sure beats the train any day! So much quicker!" she said.

The weather gave them a good trip, the sky was smooth sailing, no rough road in the skyway that day! Deanie and Angie also did a little touring while in S.C. They visited the old historical parts of Charleston. Angie particularly enjoyed the big, old plantation homes with all the quaint ways of making soap, candles, cloth, grinding their own flour, etc. Those folks were quite self-sufficient way back then. They saw the Middletown Plantation which is well known for the beautiful gardens there.

It takes two hours to walk around them. Before leaving Houston this traveling happy twosome toured a bit around Houston and of course that included shopping too! Your news is good news let us hear from you. Call Thanks for reading us. Happy summer to all. You are loved.

Mountain 379-3977 V- 'J- Dear Abby: My mother has a terminal illness and does not have much longer to live. I am struggling to find the answer to this question and I hope you can help me. (Perhaps a reader who has had to deal with it can be of help.) Should I let my 3-year-old son attend the funeral when the time comes? He is very close to his grandma. He spends a lot of time with her now because I go there daily to help out any way I can. He has trouble understanding why Grandma doesn't respond when he gives her hugs and kisses and now she doesn't "know" him.

A Mother's Love Dear Mother's Love: Let your son attend his grandma's funeral and explain that her life on earth has ended. Children need to know that all life ends in death it's a fact of life. If they know the truth, they will not fear it. Give your son a chance to bid a final farewell to Grandma; it will make her death easier for him to accept.

Dear Abby: At what age should a sister and brother cease sleeping together? Our son is a little more than five years older than his sister, who is well-developed for her age. She says she becomes frightened during the night so she goes into her brother's bedroom and crawls into bed with him. (She sometimes stays all night.) I've noticed a much closer bond between these two than with the other children in the family. I am concerned. My husband says he sees nothing wrong in this and becomes angry when I mention it.

I need advice. Concerned Mother, Columbus, Ga. Dear Concerned: You do not say how old these children are, but a well-developed girl of any age should not be sleeping with her older brother. If you suspect you have reason to be concerned, you should be. Quit speculating and initiate some candid conversations with your daughter and your son, too.

My mail tells me that there is far more "experimenting" among preteen siblings than most parents realize. COMPLETE LINE OF Furniture Upholstering Large Selection Of Fabrics In Stock!
