Emphasizing that high
school graduation is
actually a stepping stone to
adult life, Valedictorian
Eileen Chapman of Rusk's
1976 graduating class spoke
of the student's three
major goals: educational,
material and spiritual.
Commencement was
held at 8 p.m. Thursday in
the high school gymnas-
ium.
Miss Chapman said that
which education is consid-
ered an worthwhile
personal and national goal
and offers a chance to
fulfill material aspirations,
the students' real emphasis
should be on the spiritual.
She pointed out that the
nation's Bicentennial

Will Continue To Live
In Cherokee County
"After I am elected U.S. Representative from the first district of Texas
in June 1976 I will continue to be a permanent resident of Cherokee
County. Eight years ago, I built my family homestead five miles west of
Jacksonville, and I intend to reside there for the rest of my life. Cherokee
County is and always shall be the place I call home. The good people of
Cherokee County have stood by me faithfully through the years, and /
want to remain faithful to them as well.
There will be several congressional offices across the first district after
I am elected, including one in Jacksonville. The main office in Texarkana
is in the only federal building in the district large enough for a
congressional staff so I shall have a small second residence near that
office for use while I am in the northeastern end of the district. In
addition, I shall have a travelling office to visit all county seats, including
Rusk, at least once a month. I shall try to he the congressman for all
the first district of Texas, but my primary residence shall always be on
the Carey Lake Road west of Jacksonville."

chance for new goals to
establish a new life.
With a theme of "We
must prevail, not endure,"
Salutatorian Danny Ander-
son noted the three great-
est gifts of compassion,
sacrifice and endurance.
The RHS graduating class
should seek these gifts "to
be like Christ" who made a
contribution to mankind,
he said. "Our class can
offer such gifts tomorrow
and not only endure, but
prevail," he concluded.
Don Kleppe, pastor of
Rusk's Church of Christ,
presented the religious
address in the combination
baccalaureate-com-
mencement exercises.
Using as a text the Bible's
. account of aa ambitious ^
mother-the woman who
• asked thateach of her sons, -
James and John, be
elevated-the speaker
cautioned against the
search for greatness in
material things. Pointing
to social pressure which
urges young adults to
strive for cars, business
success and degrees,
he urged the graduates to
keep in mind the rewards
of service. "Whoever
would be great must be a
servant" is the lesson
which Jesus taught to the
mother of James and John,
he noted.
Miss Martha Sheldon,
third ranking student, gave
the invocation, followed by
Anderson's Salutatory
Address. Lester Hughes led
the Rusk High School Band
in a special arrangement of
"The Battle Hymn of the
Republic." The Valedic-
tory Address by Miss
Chapman and the Devot-
ional by Don Kleppe were
followed by special recog-
nitions and the presenta-
tion of diplomas. Stanley
Johnson offered the Bene-
diction.
