Today's Featured Biography
Mildred Brown Siebert
Two weeks after high school graduation, I went to work as a stenographer for the Texas Employment Commission. I was promoted to secretary to the Tax Department supervisor and worked there for 6-1/2 years. I resignd so I could be at home with our two sons.
My husband and I have been married for 47 years and are active members of the Southwest church of Christ. I have served as church secretary for over 31 years and consider my work a blessing, not a job. My husband serves as an elder, and we stay quite busy in the work of the church.
We have four granddaughters and one grandson, who have brought us much joy. One of our sons is co-owner of J & K Utility services, and the other is a accountant for the State House of Representatives.
The Lord has blessed us with good health through the years and we have enjoyed many blessings. We enjoy traveling when we can.

In September 1954, The American Statesman started a column called "Tri-High Scoop". A student from each high school wrote about the happenings at their school and then it was published in the Sunday paper. Each school had a "catchy" name, Austin was Maroon Musings, McCallum was 'Callum Clues and Travis was Travis Drawl. Enjoy reading about the days when you were at Travis.

Each choir, the Women's choir, the Men's choir, and the Mixed choir presented individual numbers; and then all the choirs together presented "Song of Democracy" by Harold Hansen. Eight Travis students have been chosen to try-out for the All-State Choir. These are Ronald Bixler, Freda Crawford, Bobby Deloria, Jackie Juvenal, Barbara Kay, Dick Mitchell, Nancy Sappington, and Kenneth Southwell.
The Rebel Band and Rebelettes were the only high school group to march in the Veteran's Day parade. The band played the "Star Spangled Banner" for the ceremonies in front of the Stephen F. Austin Hotel.
