Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou, a Renaissance woman and cultural pioneer, died Wednesday morning at her home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, her son, Guy B. Johnson, said in a
statement. The 86-year-old had been a professor of American studies at Wake Forest University since 1982.
"She lived a life as a teacher, activist, artist and human being. She was a warrior for equality, tolerance and peace," Johnson said.
Angelou had been set to appear this week at the Major League Baseball Beacon Awards Luncheon, but canceled in recent days citing an unspecified illness.
Tall and regal, with a deep, majestic voice, she was unforgettable whether encountered through sight, sound or the printed word. She was an actress, singer and dancer
in the 1950s and 1960s and broke through as an author in 1970 with "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," which became standard (and occasionally censored) reading and
made Angelou one of the first black women to enjoy mainstream success. "Caged Bird" was the start of a multipart autobiography that continued through the decades and
captured a life of hopeless obscurity and triumphant, kaleidoscopic fame. The world was watching in 1993 when she read her cautiously hopeful "On the Pulse of the Morning"
at President Bill Clinton's first inauguration. Her confident performance openly delighted Clinton and made publishing history by making a poem a best-seller, if not a critical
favorite. For President George W. Bush, she read another poem, "Amazing Peace," at the 2005 Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the White House. Presidents honored her
in return with a National Medal of Arts and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian honor. In 2013, she received an honorary National Book Award.
She called herself a poet, in love with the "sound of language," ''the music in language," as she explained to The Associated Press in 2013. But she lived so many lives. She
was a wonder to Toni Morrison, who marveled at Angelou's freedom from inhibition, her willingness to celebrate her own achievements. She was a mentor to Oprah Winfrey,
whom she befriended when Winfrey was still a local television reporter, and often appeared on her friend's talk show program. She mastered several languages and published not just poetry, but advice books, cookbooks and children's stories. She wrote music, plays and screenplays, received an Emmy nomination for her acting in "Roots,"
and never lost her passion for dance, the art she considered closest to poetry. Angelou was born Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis and raised in Stamps, Arkansas, and San
Francisco, moving back and forth between her parents and her grandmother. She was smart and fresh to the point of danger, packed off by her family to California after sassing a white store clerk in Arkansas. Other times, she didn't speak at all: At age 7, she was raped by her mother's boyfriend and didn't talk for years. She learned by reading,
and listening.
At age 9, she was writing poetry. By 17, she was a single mother. In her early 20s, she was married, and then divorced. But by her mid-20s, she was performing at the
Purple Onion in San Francisco, where she shared billing with another future star, Phyllis Diller. She also spent a few days with Billie Holiday, who was kind enough to sing a
lullaby to Angelou's son,
In the 1960s, Malcolm X had written to Angelou and praised her for her ability to communicate so directly, with her "feet firmly rooted on the ground." In 2002, Angelou
communicated in an unexpected way when she launched a line of greeting cards with industry giant Hallmark. Angelou admitted she was cool to the idea at first. Then she
went to Loomis, her editor at Random House. In North Carolina, she lived in an 18-room house and taught American Studies at Wake Forest University. She was also a member of the board of trustees for Bennett College, a private school for black women in Greensboro. Angelou hosted a weekly satellite radio show for XM's "Oprah & Friends"
channel. She remained close enough to the Clintons that in 2008 she supported Hillary Rodham Clinton's candidacy over the ultimately successful run of the country's first
black president, Barack Obama. But a few days before Obama's inauguration, she was clearly overjoyed. She told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette she would be watching it
on television "somewhere between crying and praying and being grateful and laughing when I see faces I know." Active on the lecture circuit, she gave commencement
speeches and addressed academic and corporate events across the country. Angelou received dozens of honorary degrees, and several elementary schools were named for
her. No funeral or memorial service arrangements have been announced at this time.

DCCCD CHANCELLOR APPOINTS
INTERIM PRESIDENT
Dr. Preston Pulliams
The National Baptist Congress is a traveling Christian
educational institute designed for leaders and workers
in churches and denominations throughout the nation.
The National Baptist Congress was founded as an educational arm of the National Baptist Publishing Board
(NBPB), now known as R.H. Boyd Publishing
Corporation (RHBPC), for training church workers and
leaders alike-to effectively utilize the various resources
for Christian education and discipleship.
During this annual event, registrants are exposed to
current trends in Christian education methodology, as
well as strategies for effectively implementing the work
of the Church. Congress traditionally begins on the second Sunday in June and continues for five days.
Dr. Joe May, chancellor of the
Dallas County Community College
District, has appointed Dr. Preston
Pulliams as interim president of
Mountain View College, effective
May 12, 2014, following the retirement of the college’s president,
Felix Zamora, on April 30.
Members of the DCCCD board of
trustees approved the appointment during their regular monthly
meeting on May 6.
Pulliams will serve as interim
president for six months; after
that time, his contract can be
extended on a monthly basis until
the national search for a new CEO
is completed and the next president is appointed.
“I believe that appointing an
individual for the position of interim president is important. That
person must be able to guide
Mountain View and ensure that
the college moves forward, on
schedule, to teach students and
serve the community,” said May.
“I believe that Dr. Pulliams is the
right fit and that he can accomplish those tasks as we search
nationally for Mountain View’s
next president.”
Mays added, “Dr. Pulliams
understands the world of community colleges and the CEO’s duties
and qualifications for two-year
institutions. As owner and president of Gold Hill Associates – one
of the nation’s leading community
college presidential search firms,
he coordinates community college
presidential searches throughout
the United States and the search
activities of four contract consultants.”
In response to his appointment,
Pulliams said, "I am truly excited
about this great professional
opportunity to serve as the interim president of Mountain View
College. I look forward to working
closely with the Mountain View
College faculty and staff members
to assist and support their operations and planning during this
time of transition. I am already
impressed with the warm welcome that I have received from
the staff and faculty members and
their commitment for serving students."
He also said, “I have worked
very hard in each of my community college positions from counselor to president to always focus
on serving students and strengthening the connections and partnerships between the community
college and the community.”
Pulliams’ many years of experience leading two-year schools also
includes his tenure as district president for the Portland Community
College District in Portland, Ore.
During his nine-year term in that
position, Pulliams served as the
district’s CEO and oversaw an
annual general fund budget of
more than $200 million. He has
experience with bond campaigns,
fundraising, enrollment management, contracts and grants,
accreditation efforts, strategic
planning, workforce development,
governmental relations and diversity in the workplace, among many
areas.

DEAR EDITOR:
Dear Editor,
Warmer temperatures are a welcome change after a long, cold winter—but as the mercury rises, it’s crucial to protect our animal companions
by never leaving them in parked vehi-
cles. Every year, PETA receives dozens
of reports of animals suffering and
dying in hot, parked cars. Cruelty-toanimals charges are routinely filed in
such cases.
It only takes minutes for a parked
car to cook an animal alive: On a warm
day, even with the windows cracked,
the temperature inside a parked car
can reach more than 160 degrees.
Parking in the shade and/or leaving
water in the vehicle won’t help.
Symptoms of heatstroke include restlessness, excessive thirst, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of appetite and coordination, dark tongue, and vomiting.
Dogs can succumb to heatstroke in just
15 minutes, resulting in brain damage
or death.
Please, when it’s even a little warm
outside, never leave any living being in
a parked car, even for “just a minute.” If
you see a dog left in a car, have the
owner paged or call 911 immediately—
the dog’s life depends on it. Visit
www.PETA.org to learn more.
Sincerely,
Martin Mersereau, Director

NURSES AND THE MINISTRY OF HEALING
By Congresswoman Eddie
Bernice Johnson
An essential pillar of the health
care system in our country is the
more than three million women
and men who are registered nurses. On a daily basis, these selfless
individuals respond to the needs of
humanity and epitomize the ideal
of service. They perform critical
health functions, ranging from
administering medications to
changing bed pans.
Four years ago, I Introduced legislation, the National Nurses Act,
establishing the position of a
National Nurse for Public Health.
The position provided a visible
government manager that would
collaborate with health care leaders, inside and outside of government, in an effort to address existing health care disparities, and
establish specific goals leading to
drastic improvements in the
nation's health care system.
As a former professional nurse, I
understand fully the role and
importance of nurses in our society, particularly in our health care
system. Under the legislation I proposed, the National Nurse for
Public Health would advise the
nation's Surgeon General on matters such as health standards, professional recruitment and career
development for nurses that are
employed by agencies of the Public
Health sector and its contractors.
Nurses are invaluable health
care resources. That is why I reintroduced the National Nurses Act
in the 113th Congress, and introduced a Congressional Resolution
recognizing "National Nurses
Week."
Congressional efforts to identify
a period during which the nation
recognized the contributions to
wellness made by nurses began in
1954. Twenty years later, President
Richard Nixon issued a proclamation recognizing National Nurses
Week.
Nurses in this country are passionate about their profession.
They believe in the art of healing,
and frequently risk their personal
health to make others whole.
Nurses are more than worthy of
our support and our praise. They
are among the foundational pillars
of American society.
The Browning of Public Schools after ‘Brown’
By George E. Curry
NNPA Columnist
This is the 60th anniversary of
the landmark Brown v. Board of
Education Supreme Court decision
outlawing “separate but equal”
schools. And like most major
anniversaries, incorrect information surfaces as purported fact,
doing a disservice to the accomplishment being celebrated as well
as truth itself.
In this instance, some have
asserted that because of re-segregation, public schools in the South,
where most African Americans live,
are more segregated now than
when Brown was handed down.
That is simply untrue and if you
want to read a comprehensive
account of what has truly happened in school desegregation
over the past 60 years, there is no
better source than “Brown at 60:
Great Progress, a Long Retreat and
an Uncertain Future,” published by
The Civil Rights Project at UCLA.
First, let’s dispense with the
nonsense.
“The claims that black students
in the South are no better off than
they were before Brown, in terms
of segregation, are obviously
wrong,” the report stated. “They
are ten times as likely to be in
majority-white schools as they
were when the Civil Rights Act
passed.”
The 42-page report is packed
with illuminating facts about
progress made in the wake of
Brown and the subsequent
retrenchment. But to appreciate
the significance of Brown, it is necessary to understand what our
schools looked like before the
court decision.
“Nine years after Brown, when
President John Kennedy called for
the first major civil rights act of the
20th century, 99% of blacks in the
South were still in totally segregated schools,” the report recounted.
“Virtually no whites were in historically black schools, nor were black
teachers and administrators in
white schools. For all practical purposes, it was segregation as usual
or ‘segregation forever,’ as some of
the South’s politicians promised. In
the great majority of the several
thousand southern districts nothing had been done.”
Actually, there were two Brown
decisions. The first, issued in 1954,
outlawed
segregated
public
schools masquerading as “separate
but equal.” The court ruled that
“segregation
is
inherently
unequal” and ordered the desegregation of schools. With no progress
after a year, the court ordered in
1955, in a ruling sometimes called
Brown II, that desegregation had to
be carried out “with all deliberate
speed.”
But racial segregation was deliberate and speed was missing in
action. In fact, nine years after
Brown, 99 percent of Blacks in the
South were still in segregated
schools.
“President Lyndon Johnson
powered the historic 1964 Civil
Rights Act through Congress with
bipartisan support, and he proceeded to enforce civil rights law
more
forcefully
than
an
Administration before or since,”
the report stated. “After he also led
the battle for the largest federal
education aid program in American
history, the Southern schools
changed. Faced with the dual
prospect of losing federal funds if
they remained segregated, as well
as the threat of a Justice
Department lawsuit as a result of
the Civil Rights Act, almost all the
districts began to desegregate.
Strongly backed by the federal
courts, federal civil rights officials
raised desegregation requirements
each year. In 1968 the Supreme
Court unanimously ruled that
desegregation in the historically
segregated states must be comprehensive and immediate. By 1970
Southern schools became the
nation’s most integrated.”
Nationwide, the percent of
Blacks attending majority White
schools has declined from a high of
43.5 percent in 1988 to 23.2 percent in 2011, about the same level
it was 1968. This did not happen by
accident.
“Throughout the l980s there
was a strong legal attack on desegregation orders, led by the Reagan
and Bush administrations’ Justice
Departments and, in l991, the
Supreme Court authorized the termination of desegregation plans in
the Oklahoma City (Dowell) decision. The decline in black student
access has been continuous since
l991,” the report observed.
The report documents the
strong connection between segregated schools and concentrated
poverty.
“In schools that are 81-100%
black & Latino, over three-quarters
of the students are also enrolled in
schools where more than 70% of
the students live in poverty,” it
stated. “In fact, half of students in
91-100% black & Latino schools are
in schools that also have more than
90% low-income students. This
means that these students face
almost total isolation not only from
white and Asian students but also
from middle class peers as well.”
In its recommendations section,
the report observes that while
education is primarily a state
responsibility, the federal government also has an important role to
play. Sadly, the report points out,
there has not been a major national study on school desegregation,
its costs and solutions since Racial
Isolation in Public Schools, a report
requested in 1967 by President
Johnson.
Non-government organizations
also have a role to play.
The report stated, “Civil rights
organizations need to develop new
strategies and legal theories to end
the reversal and restart the movement toward a successfully integrated, truly multiracial society, as
was done by the NAACP and
Howard University in the campaign
that led to Brown.”
‘BringBackOurGirls’: Why We Should Care
By Marc H. Morial
President and CEO
NNPA Columnist
“Injustice anywhere is a
threat to justice everywhere.
We are caught in an
inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of
destiny. Whatever affects one
directly, affects all indirectly.” –
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
A real war on women,
marked by murder, rape and
slavery is raging in too many
parts of the world. In fact and
unfortunately, human trafficking is now thought to be among
the fastest-growing illegal
enterprises globally.
The latest and most
grotesque example is the April
14 kidnapping of more than
200 girls from their Nigerian
school by a terrorist group
known as Boko Haram. The
group violently opposes any
activity
associated
with
Western society and for the
past several years has been
waging a bloody campaign to
prevent the education of
Nigeria’s girls. Yet, I have been
asked by several people in the
past few weeks why we should
continue to care about events
happening so far from our borders. The answer is simple: we
cannot ignore the fact that attitudes that deny, question or
compromise the value of
women anywhere are harmful
to women everywhere – no
matter where they occur.
In many parts of the world
and some cultures, outdated,
patriarchal and inhumane ideas
such as forced marriages, sanctioned wife beatings and even
female genital mutilations continue to keep women subservient and from contributing
to society and achieving their
full potential.
Preventing girls from getting
an education is also another
unacceptable tactic used to
continually oppress women
around the world. As First Lady
Michelle Obama pointed out in
the White House weekly
address in honor of Mother’s
Day, “more than 65 million girls
worldwide are not in school.”
In his Sunday New York
Times column on May 11,
Nicholas Kristof asked, “What’s
So Scary About Smart Girls?”
Simply put, nothing threatens
oppressive, male-dominated
societies more than educated
girls who are likely to have
fewer children, become productive workers and boost their
economies. As Kristof puts it,
“The greatest threat to extremism isn’t drones firing missiles,
but girls reading books.”
In addition to the issue of
education for girls, this latest
tragedy in Nigeria also highlights the deplorable crime of
human trafficking – not just
around the world, but also here
at home. The National Human
Trafficking Resource Center
(NHTRC) reports that from
2008-2012, it received more
than 65,000 calls to its hotline
and received reports of more
than 9,000 unique cases of
human trafficking. Of these, 41
percent of sex trafficking cases
referenced U.S. citizens as victims, and women were referenced as victims in 85 percent
of sex trafficking cases.
As distressing as these numbers are, they still do not represent the entirety of the problem because this data is based
on reported incidents only.
According to NHTRC, with an
estimated 100,000 children in
the sex trade in the United
States each year, the total num-
ber of human trafficking victims
in the U.S. reaches hundreds of
thousands when estimates of
both adults and minors and sex
trafficking and labor trafficking
are combined.
The awful drama unfolding
in Nigeria has touched the
heart of the world, and it has
also raised the consciousness of
an international community
about the continuing fight for
the rights of girls and women.
As the father of two daughters,
I cannot imagine the pain that
the parents of the missing girls
must be feeling. As a civil rights
leader, it fuels my commitment
to do what is within my power
and influence to ensure that we
#BringBackOurGirls
everywhere.
While there is no scale or
moral equivalence between
what is happening in Nigeria
and the treatment of girls and
women in America today, we
cannot ignore our own responsibility to fully educate and
empower girls in this country,
to champion equal pay, to end
violence against women, and to
stop the human trafficking of
hundreds of thousands of children, girls and women each
year.
"A WONDERFUL PSALM OF AN AGED SAINT" PSALM 71:1-24
T h e
Rev. Johnny C. Smith, Pastor – Mount
Moriah Missionary Baptist Church
The psalmist of this wonderful
psalm is unknown; however, Psalm
71 depicts the continual trust of an
aged saint in God despite experiencing trouble from the wicked.
There are many aged saints that
can readily testify that you can
count on the Lord to deliver in
times of trouble. They can really
testify that God is faithful and He
will deliver, for Psalm 46:1 states,
"God is our refuge and strength, a
very present help in trouble. And
they can testify that if you wait on
Him, that He will deliver, for Psalm
40:1-3 says, "I waited patiently for
the Lord; and He inclined unto me,
and heard my cry. He brought me
up also out of an horrible pit, out
of the miry clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my
goings. And he hath put a new
song in my mouth, even praise
unto our God: many shall see it and
fear, and shall trust in the Lord."
In verses 1-4, the psalmist
begins this grand psalm as he
pleads to God for deliverance from
the wicked. He first recognizes that
it is God alone that can sustain him
as he states in verse 1 "In thee, O
LORD, do I put my trust: let me
never be put to confusion." The
psalmist asked God in verse 4 to
protect him from his enemies for
he knew that the Lord was the only
source of his security; "Deliver me,
O my God, out of the hand of the
wicked, out of the hand of the
unrighteous and cruel man."
Despite the afflictions of the
psalmist, he asserts that the Lord
was his hope; therefore he shall
continually praise God (vv. 5-8).
Verse 5 states, "For thou art my
hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my
trust from my youth." The psalmist
realizes that from the earliest part
of his existence God has preserved
him.
The psalmist continues to ask
God to help him despite the fact
that others thought that God had
abandoned him (vv. 9-13). The
enemies thought to take advantage of this advanced aged saint,
but the psalmist prays intensely in
verses 9-10, "Cast me not off in the
time of old age; forsake me not
when my strength faileth. For
mine enemies speak against me;
and they that lay wait for my soul
take counsel together."
The psalmist also had a resolve
to praise the Lord as he had from
his youth up (vv. 14-18). The
psalmist really had a resolve to testify of the Lord's awesome saving
deeds! His desire was to witness
to the generation as he prays in
verses 17 and 18, "O God, thou
hast taught me from my youth: and
hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. 18Now also when I
am old and greyheaded, O God,
forsake me not; until I have shewed
thy strength unto this generation,
and thy power to every one that is
to come."
The psalmist was confident of
the Lord's deliverance and full
restoration, for no one can compare to the Lord in doing great
things (vv. 19-21). He exclaims
with exuberance in verse 19, "Thy
righteousness also, O God, is very
high, who hast done great things:
O God, who is like unto thee!"
The psalmist concludes this
wonderful psalm in praise, anticipating that the Lord will deliver
him from his enemies (vv. 22-24).
He makes his praise known in verse
22, "I will also praise thee with
the psaltery, even thy truth, O
my God: unto thee will I sing
with the harp, O thou Holy One
of Israel."
May God Bless!

HOROSCOPES
May 29 - June 4
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries have a good time exploring their neighborhood and
meeting all their neighbors. Try
to find a new hang out, sample
a new restaurant or throw a
block party. You never know
who you will meet. There is
something very likeable about
you that attracts all sorts of
interesting characters. But
don't just fan the air with idle
chit chat. At very least, share
the local gossip.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Money comes your way without much effort on your part.
Other items of value seem to
flow your way as well now.
Easy gains and effortless comfort? At least it will seem that
way. The fact is, Taurus, that
nothing comes that easily without some sort of planning or
hidden price. The cost reveals
itself later once you get use to
all the glorious glitter. Ain't that
rich?
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
This week heralds in a time of
rewards for all your previous
hard work and planning.
Haven't been working much?
Haven't planned anything
worthwhile? No matter. People
love you for who you are no
matter how lazy you've been.
Enjoy it while you can, Gemini.
Too, too soon you will have to
pay the piper. Until then have
'em play the tarantella and
dance.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Feeling a bit closed in and
claustrophobic? Let it all hang
out this week as you let go of
any psychological baggage that
has been holding you back.
Freedom is liberating and you
may even stumble upon some
secret stash of mementos that
reignite old flames and lost
loves from the past. Start a raging fire and see how hot it can
burn. But don't get singed.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
Leos needn't feel alone now,
nor should they allow themselves to curl up at home and
shut themselves away. This is
the time of year to make yourself very well known. You are
offered a wide choice of enjoyable social activities. Gather
your compadres and make
merry. Friends provide the
laughs if you can provide the
venue. No, not at home. Go
paint the town any color!
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Instead of toiling in the backroom for pennies, use the
week to break from the general herd and get in front of the
pack. Toss a few of your well
hidden but great ideas in front
of the powers-that-be and see
what can they can become.
Virgos deserve more than they
are getting and can get more
than they expect now. At least
that is what I've been told....
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
What is it that stirs your inter-
est? Pursue it now. Sociable
Libras can inflate their circle
into a globe and lob it across all
sorts of exotic terrains. If you
can possibly travel, do so. You
can expect to have an especially memorable adventure. If
time and money are tight, satisfy your wanderlust with a few
lusty wanderers. Oh but let's
keep it anonymous!
SCORPIO
(OCTOBER 24 NOVEMBER 22)
The week brings out the beast
in you. And it's bout time! Life
gets decidedly more interesting and intense. Look your
best. You have an earthiness
and passion that can change
the course of human events...
or something like that.
Scorpios are not known for
their animal tendencies but
now you can be tenderized by a
few bucking broncos. Yahoo!
Ride 'em!
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23
- DECEMBER 22)
Partnerships take on a greater
intensity. Sagittarians can and
should turn their attention to
their significant others and
have them figure more prominently in their future plans. For
those who are on the hunt,
find ways of making yourself
more available. Late nights at
the office won't do it. Neither
will lunches at your desk. Rub
elbows every chance you get.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 JANUARY 20)
Make good use of your work
schedule, Capricorn. You have
a great opportunity to accomplish something of importance
on the job. Well, maybe not
something earthshaking or
monumental but something
that you can point to and call
your own. Okay maybe it's
more like a nicely written
memo ... or a clean desk ... or
perfect
attendance.
Remember that every effort
counts!
AQUARIUS
(JANUARY 21 FEBRUARY 19)
Aquarians have a rare opportunity to kick back and have fun
now. You are inspired and feel
more creative. Try something
or someone new and see how
artistic you really are. Don't let
too much time go by before
you begin to plan (and launch)
a regatta of ship shape parties.
Get all hands on deck. Watch
where you put those hands
buster!
PISCES
(FEBRUARY 20 MARCH 20)
What is it about your home situation that gives everything a
different and happy hue?
Pisces will kick their feet up
and relax with a few close
friends or spend their down
time decorating their surroundings. For those with a few
personal, familial things to get
off their chests, say what needs
to be said. You are more sensitive to others reactions but
don't get a rash.

Auction on May 31, 2014, at the
Fairmont Dallas Hotel. The annual
event,
themed

LHS Majorettes Win Regionals,
Advance to State
The Lancaster IB & STEM
High School Majorettes
received a Division 1 rating
in both solo and group routine categories during the
2014 UIL Regional Twirling
Competition
held
at
Coppell High School.
The
students
will
advance to compete at the
UIL State Competition on
Monday, May 26 at the
University of Texas at
Austin.
“I’m so very excited that
this year’s team has picked
up the baton (no pun
intended) that last year’s
2012-2013 team had started with the invitation to
advance to state,” Sponsor
Karen O’Neil said.
This is O’Neil’s second
year to lead this program
and she said that the girls
have been preparing for
the state competition even
before they knew they had
made it.
“We start very early with
preparation even before we
reach state level,” O’Neil
said. “We practiced about
6-8 hours a week for about
two months. About a week
before State UIL, I have former twirlers and twirl
coaches come by to critique and evaluate.”
O’Neil said that these
types of competitions are
extremely important.
“It’s important to promote school pride and
team spirit. In addition,
such competitions help to
improve self-confidence for
each girl, exposes the team
to see and meet other twirl
teams in the state and creates a little friendly com-
petitive spirit,” O’Neil said.
“But mainly it lets them
know that with hard work
and dedication, they can
achieve anything.”
The
medal-winning
majorettes
who
will
advance to the State UIL
competition are as follows:
Freshmen:
Brandi Barnett
Brittany Moore
Juniors:
Arreyon Barron
Cierra Mayes
Sedaria Meredith
LaKyia White
Seniors:
Kennedy Fudge
Tabrasha Remmy
Darian Thomas
Destini Wood
In addition, LHS also has
four band students who
advanced to state and will
compete on Monday:
Freshman:
Rashad Durham
Sophomore:
Ravonte Woodson
