Today's Featured Biography
Nelda Hawkins Wiggers
Fifty years!!! Oh My, where has the time gone. In that fifty years I have been married for 44 of them to my sweet Darwin. We have 2 children and 3 beautiful grandchildren. Michael is 41 and has 2 children Kayla and Kyle. They are 12 and 10. Brenda is 38 snd has 9 year old Sierra.
Darwin retired from UT's Applied Research Lab and I retired from the good ole IRS. We made our home in Austin until we both retired. We had bought some land in Liberty Hill in the 70's and we got to move to the country in 2004 wnen we both retired.
We stay busy in Liberty Hill with church activities and volunteering with Lions and Meals on Wheels. Our grandchildren are nearby and we enjoy being involved in their lives and activities.
We spend as much time as we can at our Lake Buchanan cottage and we enjoy traveling. We have been blessed with good health and life in general.

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 30, 1958
What is life with Father like? Students at Travis have a pretty good idea after seeing the drama department's production of "Life with Father" by Clarence Day on Friday. This play will also be presented at the Interscholastic League Contest in Waco. Rebels in the cast were Fred Blum, Dian Macry, Charles Bunce, Chester Eitz, Chuggy Horton, Judy Ransom, Betty Pearson, and Judy Griffin.
Dixieland was well represented at the annual Fat Stock Show held in the city coliseum March 9, 10, and 11. Bringing home three championships was Johnny Polvado . Winning other championships with their livestock were Mike Grumbles, Edward Rhodes, Darrell Harp, and James Weaver. Capturing a reserve championship were Willie Deane, Tommy Spillar, Buddy Sladek, and Cletus Kleen. Selected by the judges as being outstanding in showmanship were Johnny Polvado and Morris Johnson.
A trip to Waco the first of April is in store for two Travisites, Dorothy Martin and Joanne Mallett. They were chosen to represent Travis in the Interscholastic League Meeting in the Ready Writers Contest. Alternate is Minette Naquin.
Coming back to Travis with first division gold medals were 20 Rebel Band students from the Interscholastic League Contest at San Antonio. Thirty students entered a solo or ensemble.
Student conductor Bobby Francis won a medal in his turn at the baton. Other Rebs in first division are: Nancy Dawson, Judy Furhman, Jere Cyrus, Carol Cotman, Barbara Roberts, Mary Ann Stromberg, Jimmy Whorton, Jimmy Jackson, Tommy Bourke, Patsy Drury, Gene Rhemann, John Thomson, Earl Beaty, Don Batey, John Irvine, Melvin Soderberg, and Scott Kavanaugh.
