ment department. In 1956 he
began attending Lee College at
night, and by taking Iwo or three
courses each semester, completed
his work at Lee by the end of
the summer term in 1959.
He began classes at the Uni-
versity of Houston in the fall of
1959 majoring in geology. By
continuing to work off two or
three courses each semester, sum-
mer and winter, he completed
the requirements for a bachelor
of science degree in geology last
week when he look his last ex-
amination on Wednesday.
In reply to questions about
how many miles he drove during
the five years of commuting to
U of H classes, Sawberger an-
swered, “Well, I could figure it
out if I had the time, but I know
it was a lot of driving because
I wore out three new sets of At-
las tires.”
On hand to witness the event
when Sawberger received his di-
ploma were his wife, Marjorie,
and their two daughters, Anna,
17, a junior at Lee high school;
and Alice, 14,, who just graduated
from Baytown Junior High. They
are a mighty proud and happy
family.
Feel Unimportant?
This Booklet May
Change Your Mind
Do you ever have the feeling
your job isn’t important?
If so, then be sure to read the
booklet "What Difference Does
It Make?” to be distributed in
Briels9 boxes early next week.
The booklet, published by the
Economic Press, Inc., of Mont-
clair, New Jersey, points out by
example how the work of each
employee in manufacture of a
product is important to the final
sale of the product.

Finish At Lee College
A library is a familiar place to Shirley Young, left, and Jackie Stevens,
employees of Technical, who graduated from Lee College last Friday
night. The young ladies, who were photographed wearing caps and gowns
in the Engineering Library last week, feel they have earned a vacation
from books. Both received Lee College diplomas in business administration.
grec as a bachelor of business
administration, accounting. He
does not plan to end his college
studies, however. He plans to
work toward a master’s degree,
and has completed one course to-
ward that end already.
His wife, Ruth, and their four
children, Marilyn, 17; Ruth Ann,
13; David, 9; and Donna, 7,
have given Coy a lot of encour-
agement along the way. He is
proud of his family—in fact he
is such a devoted father that he
missed his own long-awaited
graduation ceremony so he could
be present for Marilyn’s gradua-
tion from Lee high school.
Sawberger, a draftsman special
in Technical, began his college
career in 1941. His freshman
year was spent at Texas A & M
where he was majoring in me-
chanical engineering. Following
his first year of college, he spent
three years in the Air Force dur-
ing World War II as a bomber
pilot. About two of these Air
Force years were spent in Italy
where he completed 51 combat
missions.
When the war was over, he re-
turned to Baytown and joined
Humble as a helper in the Instru-
Two refinery employees. Coy
Lively of Purchasing and Ed-
ward Sawberger of Technical,
graduated from the University
of Houston last Friday. Al-
though these men received de-
grees in different fields, they
have a lot in common. Both
began college studies more than
20 years ago, both interrupted
college work to serve in the Air
Force, and both have demon-
strated outstanding determination
to win college “sheepskins.”
Lively began college in 1935
as a freshman at Mary Hardin
Baylor. Although that college is
actually for women only, Coy
was one of 12 boys who worked
for the college and were allowed
to attend classes. After one year,
Coy returned to Baytown and
worked full time in the oil field
and attended Lee College at
night.
In 1937 he began work on a
construction job at Baytown re-
finery, then joined the Pipe de-
partment in 1941, still a part-
time student at Lee College. His
studies were interrupted during
the war when he served three
years as an Air Force navigator.
Lee College Grad
In 1946, Lively returned to
work at the refinery, and gradu-
ated from Lee College in May of
1947. That summer he trans-
ferred to Houston Office Pur-
chasing, and resumed night
studies that fall at the University
of Houston. He continued at the
U of H until 1952 when other
duties compelled him to discon-
tinue his night studies.
Ten years later he returned to
the campus and resumed his fa-
miliar routine of work by day
and study at night. After trans-
ferring to Baytown refinery Pur-
chasing in 1962, he commuted to
the U of H. Friday night he
officially graduated with a de-

continuous for those employees
and annuitants represented by
the GCIWU, and their depend-
ents, who arc now covered by
Blue Cross. A union official
pointed out that benefits and
rates of the new policies will be
similar to the old ones.
The new plan was developed
especially for GCIWU-repre-
sented employees.
