Dedication
When a Lasso is dedicated, the man or woman whom the staff honors has
made a substantial contribution to Howard Payne during the year or over a
period of years. The man to whom the Lasso is dedicated this year has served
this ninety-eight year old school as student, staff and faculty member, trustee
and now as president.
From 1957 to 1961 when he was a student, it is said that more than one of his
college classmates remarked quite seriously, "Someday he'll be president of
Howard Payne." Whether or not Don Newbury knew this at the time is
unknown. Today, Don Newbury's presidency, a widespread dream for many
people, is a reality for HF'The
1987 Lasso is dedicated to a man, who through his Christ-centered
attitudes and walk with God, will go down in Howard Payne history as one of
the truly great contributors to HPU.
His interaction, involvement and genuine interest has continued to amaze
current students and delight prospects. The renewed spirit of cooperation, trust
and a feeling that "we're all in this together" that has permeated the Howard
Payne family is due to the attitudes he instills in those around him.
Wonderful things are happening at Howard Payne and many, many of these
things are because of Don Newbury.
We salute you Dr. Newbury and pray God's blessings on you, your family and 2
your continued efforts.
