Today's Featured Biography
Cecilia Thomas Frazee
We moved to Plano Texas from Austin in 1971. My husband (Bill) of 47 years retired in 2007 from Raytheon. During that time, I was principally a stay at mom and worked seasonally at the Dallas Gift & Apparel Mart. Since retiring from there, I do volunteer work at the Collin County Assistance Center.
My recreational time is spent with book club, bridge, and traveling.
We have three grandchildren (two boys and one girl), and a great-grandchild coming in November.

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.
Travis Drawl
By Carol Cotman
March 2, 1958
Fifty-eight Southern Beauties paraded before Dixieland last night contending for the title of Most Beautiful Girl of Travis High. This production, The Starlight Review, is an annual affair in Rebelland and is sponsored by the publications department. Master of Ceremonies for the presentation was Bob Chandler. Bobby Francis served as Master of Ceremonies for the intermission. Entertaining the audience between presentations were Ken Southwell, Tommie Craig, Tom Lyda, Sam Ruiz, Connie Todd and Nitsa Kaydar.
Preceding the beauty review was an assembly Friday morning, properly titled, "Booby Review". This was also presented by the publications department under the direction of Virginia Jarmon and Mrs. Mary Katherine McDougall. Fashions from the stone age to the space, ultra-modern age were presented to Travisites.
Junior maestros had their chance at the baton last week. Earl Beaty, Bobby Francis, John Thomson, Gene Rhemann, Sue Graham, Frank Ray, and Judy Fuhrman tried out for the position of student conductor of the Rebel Band. Emerging on top were Earl Beaty and Bobby Francis.
Vying for the position of cheerleaders for Dixieland next year are seventeen Rebels. Exercising their lungs are Janet Bailey, Joy Ballard, Arlene Fox, Judy Barker, Sondra Bray, Judy Bryson, Judy Ingram, Riki Krezdorn, Tommy Proffitt, Mary Ramsey, and Judy Ransom. Also ready with yells will be Johnny Roberts, Nancy Sappington, Nancy Thomas, Diane Wang, Lenora Ward, and Linda Wong.
Taking first place in the Technological Division in the Science Fair last week at Austin High was a Travis senior, Eddie Miller. Eddie exhibited his Nephron Unit and explained its operations.
