PAGE A-2—HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—MAY 7, 2014
George Washington gave some great advice to his teenage
nephew many years ago. Area seniors might benefit from
reading it . . .
You have now arrived to that age when you must quit the trifling
amusements of a boy, and assume the more dignified manners of
a man. At this crisis our conduct will attract the notice of those
who are about you, and as the first impressions are generally the
most lasting, your doings now may mark the leading traits of
your character through life. It is therefore absolutely necessary if
you mean to make any figure upon the stage, that you should take
the first steps right . . .
The first and great object with you at present is to acquire,
by industry and application, such knowledge as your situation
enables you to obtain as will be useful to you in life. In doing
this two other important advantages will be gained. Namely, a
habit of industry, and a disrelish of that profusion of money and
dissipation of time, which are ever attendant upon idleness . . .
When you have leisure to go into company . . . it should always
be of the best kind that the place you are in will afford. By
this means you will be constantly improving your manners and
cultivating your mind while you are relaxing from your books,
and good company will always be found much less expensive
than bad . . .Decency and cleanliness will always be the first
object in the dress of a judicious and sensible man; a conformity
to the prevailing fashion in a certain degree is necessary, but it
does not from thence follow that a man should always get a new
coat, or other clothes, upon every trifling change in the mode,
when perhaps he has two or three very good ones by him.
If you follow his advice you will be in the minority . . . however,
I believe it will be a successful minority.
—CC—
Speaking of “advice”, Phillip Gulley writes . . .
If a well-intentioned person says to you, “Now it’s none of my
business, but if that were my child, I would . . .,” please, for the
sake of our Lord, stifle your impulse to choke them.
Before our first child was born, my wife and I read several
books about parenting. When Spencer arrived, we discovered
just how useful those books can be, particularly for chewing on.
When our second son, Sam, was born, my mother came to help. She’s a smart woman who reads quite a bit. She had just read
a book about parenting and was eager to share her knowledge. Spencer, then two years old, threw a tantrum while Mom was
with us. I hadn’t sleep for two days, and after an hour of crying
– mine, not his – I gave Spencer what he wanted.
“Boy, that was a mistake,” Mom warned. And she proceeded
to tell me that if Spencer gets what he wants by throwing a fit,
there’s no telling where he’ll end up.
“Probably in Congress,” I told her.
Mom even had advice about sleeping. She advised us to have
baby Sam lie on his back to prevent crib death. But someone else
said they should lie on their stomachs for the same reason. So to
be safe, I built a rotisserie crib.
Be sure to pray that your child escapes the usual infant ailments,
because giving up vacation time to watch your kid is a real drag. But also because advice givers come out of the woodwork when
they catch a whiff of sickness. Surprisingly, many people spoke
about the curative power of whiskey in small doses. So I tried it,
but it only made me lightheaded and woozy.
The worst advice we received was from a man who told us
that holding our baby would spoil him. Obviously, he didn’t
understand how babies require the intimacy that cuddling
provides. Besides, cuddling babies is fun and almost makes up
for what our children do to us as teenagers.
The best advice we received was from the lady who told us
about baby-sitters.
The Bible offers parenting advice. It speaks of sparing the rod
and spoiling the child. Some folks think this means spanking
your child, but the psalmist speaks of a rod which gives comfort. “Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” So it really has more to
do with gentle guidance.
I believe I’ve got this advice thing figured out. It isn’t that we
think we know more than the parents. It’s mostly about lending
a hand with something as neat as raising a child. It’s the same
principle behind planting a tree. Twenty years later, we come
upon it and delight that we had a part in its growing.
So when folks start telling you how to raise your child, don’t
think of them as busybodies, but as tree planters. That way, if
your little sapling goes bad, you’ll have someone else to blame.
—CC—
And last of all, my favorite graduate story, written by a senior
to God several years ago . . .
Dear God,
I’ve been making plans lately and writing down goals: things
I would like very much to achieve and places I want to go. Then it struck me. Can I get there by myself? Can I define my
desires, pursue my plans, or reach my destinations without Your
guidance? Is it possible for me to reach the peaks, sit on the
summits, or climb the steep and cavernous walls of life without
Your direction? I answered my own questions with a resounding
no.
I can’t even predict what will happen tomorrow, so how can I
map out the course of my life?
I’m sure there are dangers ahead that I can’t detect and storms I
can’t forecast. That’s what brings me to You. I need to feel Your
strong hand grasping mine so that when I stumble, I won’t fall. Lead me with steps that won’t be too large, to destinations not too
far for me to reach, and to depths I can’t yet even dream of. You
know me better than I know myself. You know what I’m capable
of. You also know what mountains I’m too weak to climb, which
problems I’m too blind to see, and which weaknesses I’m too
proud to admit. I can’t reach my destination on my own. I will
not proceed without You. I’ll wait for You to lead me.

HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—MAY 7, 2014—PAGE A-3
The Year Was 1929
BITS OF NEWS –
HOLDENVILLE HIGH
SCHOOL
Ouch! Oh! Gee! What on earth
is happening? That is the question asked by many who passed
by the Biology room during activity period Wednesday.
The charter members of the
Science club entertained the new
members Wednesday by initiating
them. If you should ask the new
members about it they would say
that they were furnishing the entertainment. Which was, indeed,
quite true. The charter members
were waiting in the Biology lab
for the New members who were
blind-folded and brought into
the room one at a time and put
through the necessary performances. There were twenty new
members initiated.
Amid screams of terror and
fright each in turn was pushed
into the room backward with
about as much gracefulness as a
blind calf.
Waiting inside the door were
two rows of charter members who
greeted them with “friendly”(?)
bangs with books and boards.
Poor kids. Never in all their lives
had they received such treatment.
The reception was great. At
the end of the receiving line the
member was “gently”(?) seated
in a nicely cushioned chair (such
as are common in H.H.S.) But the
“graceful repose” soon went “up
in the air.”
Ou! I’m stung! Stop! And with
“varied” exclamations the person
seemed to (literally) fly into space
and had to be caught by fellow
members as he descended.
Teachers dear, if any of these
pupils ask to be allowed to stand
for classes this week please don’t
refuse. They have had a terrible
shock.(?)
PROPHECY TEN YEARS
HENCE
As I gaze into this crystal I
see—Oh, there is Piggy Powell,
the house-wife’s friend, who has
grown famous from his invention
of the eyeless needle.
History repeats itself. Instead
of Marconi, the wireless inventor, I see Miss Welch, who, after many years of research, has
found a whisper silencer. Miss
Welch’s birthday is celebrated by
all school teachers.
What is this? Ruth Blackwell,
notoriously fond of the Freshmen, has invented an automatic
nose wiper, in order that they may
continue their studies in peace.
Dimly, I see Clayton Stanford
successor to Richard Hudnut,
with the formula for an odorless
perfume.
There is Trigg Lesueur, but
how gray the hair at his temples! Indeed Edison’s place is hard to
fill. But his reward is great for
there is a Lesueur Soundless Phonograph in every home.
Behold Lois Hodgin, “the heroine.” She grows rich off of the
profit from her marvelous toothless combs.
James Holmes, Burbank II,
has to his credit, the new tasteless
fruits, so popular with the fashionable stouts.
The crystal turns to Hollywood. What secrets it will reveal,
I cannot tell.
Wait! There is Golden
Wadley, successor to Wilma
Banky, Alene Page, Lara Bow’s
despair, in a studio with Mr.
Throat Gargle, the new leading
man. They are talking to Madam
Denton, Elinor Glyn’s double,
concerning her latest books.
In another studio they are filming “Rare Animals of Africa”,
with the vitaphone. There is
Cecil Hamilton and Claude Best
substituting for the laughing hyenas.
On a farm, raising peanuts for
hay, are Jean Lucas and Bain
Biles.
On the adjoining farm I see
Bob Ashby and Mary Moore.
Bob is teaching their cross-eyed
twins the Lord’s Prayer.
I gaze upon Martha Coffman,
and Helen Doris Elliston who
owned the new barbecue and
hamburger joint, on Rat Row.
Billed as the world’s two fattest women are Cleo Bowman
and Dorothy Shelton, 730 pounds
each.
Let us return to scenes near
home. Norman, for instance.
In a padded cell, I see Vernon
Dowdy, put there because he insisted he was a rat terrier, and ate
dog biscuits.
The crystal refuses to show
more. Who knows but this may
be best?
WE WONDER
What happened to Jean Lucas’
ford?
Why Cecil Hamilton doesn’t
like this paper?
Why Eugene Blount think Poe
died a timely death?
When everyone will get his
schedule arranged?
When Mr. Harding turned detective?
Who the basketball girls will
play Friday?
Why Clyde Dodd carries the
Lord’s Prayer?
Why Nell thinks so much of
her scissors?
If it is true that Mr. Collier has
entered the children’s contest for
original(?) poetry?
Why Lois Hodgin likes younger brothers?
If everyone notices the resemblance of Alene Page and Coleen
Moore?
LISTEN, LENA
Or The Happenings at Holdenville High School as told by a
Student to a friend.
---Dear Lena:
I Read an article once entitled
“Vain Youth.” We certainly have
several living examples of such
right here in high school. Carl
Cahill said he wasn’t at all good
looking until he used a specially
prepared beauty clay. Yes and
it is rumored, that Lloyd Atkinson gave him the formula and
Tom Billy Atkins vouched that
it would do wonders for the face.
Now What do you think about
that?
Oh me, I’ve just now found
out that poor delicate Clyde Adams is terribly overworked and
the teachers simply won’t listen
to his plea of ill health and quit
assigning such long lessons!
Personally, I have a feeling for
the little dear.
Gosh, no wonder Vernon
Dowdy has a peculiar, haunted
expression in his face from morning until night. He said the other
day that the teachers (in his estimation) have proved beyond a
doubt that they are absent minded. Why? Well, he actually went
to school one whole day without
being scolded once. No, I didn’t
exactly doubt his word-about
him not being called down-butmaybe miracles aren’t a thing of
the past.
Lena, Robert Messinger is always so calm and placid. The
other day his ire was so aroused
he turned white. The birdie said
it was because they moved him
from Pauline Bean in homeroom.
Gosh! It was awful exciting!
There are rumors around
the junior high halls that Miss
Bowden’s music class is taking enough interest in Brazil to
write to a class of music students
there.
There is no wonder that Bobby
Reiselt insists upon buying a guitar and moving to Brazil where he
can serenade the girls. Some of
the masculine students expressed
regret that Brazilian customs did
not prevail here.
I asked Vollie Biddie why
he didn’t take an interest in the
girls and he said that J. C. took
so much in Jane Stamper, that he
made up for both of them. Vollie
and Don Parker will have to snap
out of their bashfulness and chew
less gum, if they are planning on
being an attraction for girls.
Speaking of gum reminds me
of Austin Campbell who always
insists upon sitting with Nina
Ruth Branson in Miss Gorman’s
homeroom.
There is always excitement
in there when Lloyd Clawson is
around because his tongue runs
on rollers, and according to Miss
Gorham, the rollers aren’t the
least bit worn yet.
Frank Whaley takes too much
interest in Margurite Potter lately,
which of course should be very
exciting to one of Frank’s former
crushes. Frank, president of his
class proves his superiority by
giggling, causing the whole class
to chime in accordingly.

RED HATTERS PICTURED ARE: left to right: Margie Muriel, Shirley Harkey, Geraldine Ingram, Sharon Dilday, Lynn Marquis, Randa Phillips, Phyllis Brantley, Sue
Wood, and Naomi Tomlinson.
Red Hatters Found In Hen House
One of the best part of being
a Red Hatter is going to places
that I normally would not get
to go visit. One of those places
is the Hen House Cafe in Okemah. So, nine Red Hat Ladies
gathered at Rusty Jones’ house
to do a bit of traveling. Rusty
is always so nice to let us gather there, even when she doesn’t
feel up to going or has company
coming to see her. We even had
another lady, Wynema Nally, stop by and say hello to everyone. It was so good to see them
both.
“O.K. everyone, let’s load up
and move out!” Two car loads
got to the Cafe and then where
is Shirley?? Well, we sat out on
the front porch in the rocking
chairs and waited on Shirley. Then we decided to go in and
get a table and order something
to drink. And where is Shirley? Did you know that there was
a train track somewhere between Holdenville and Okemah? And on this train track
was a mighty long train! Well,
that was their story and they
stuck with it!!!
Shirley Harkey and Sharon Dilday were the “hostess
with the mostess”. Shirley
decorated the table with chocolate Easter eggs. Each Red
Hatter was presented with a
pretty napkin and a sack full of
a chocolate bar, posted notes
and a small word game. On the
back of one of the napkins was
an X. Phyllis Brantley was the
winner of a pr. of red earrings,
red heart stone pin and red lipstick. Naomi Tomlinson won
the count of the jelly beans in
a jar. She won the center piece
which consisted of a manicure
set, cotton balls, nail polish etc. Shirley then passed around a
word puzzle - find the words in
the egg. Sue Wood and Naomi
tied. Naomi said to let Sue have
the prize since she already had

Well, it wouldn’t be a party
without some singing. So, Sue
dug out her kazoo and we sang
“Happy Birthday” to Shirley and Naomi. Thank goodness, here comes the food! It
was great home cooked food
complete with desserts to
die for. When our waitress
found out that we had two
birthday girls, she asked them
what dessert they would like
to have. Well, they opt for
two of my favorites, coconut
cream pie and peach cobbler!
After wards, we went out
to the porch to see if we could
flag someone down to take our
picture. We decided to have it
taken in front of their van with
their name on the side. But
I think that we forgot about
the sign and covered it up!!
Sharon’s granddaughter has

Troop 456 and Holdenville Masons to host Carwash May 10
By Daniel Graham, Scoutmaster
Saturday, May 10, boy scout
Troop 456 will hold it annual
carwash at the Barnard Memorial United Methodist Church,
8th and Gulf Streets. The carwash is sponsored by the church
as well as the Holdenville Masonic Lodge. Paul Bolding,
a member of the Masons, has
helped our troop out tremendously over the years since I
have been in scouting with the
local troop. Don’t forget to get
your vehicle cleaned between
9 a.m and 1p.m.
May 11, is scout Sunday at
the United Methodist Church.
The scouts will present the
flags before the morning service.
June 22 – 28 the troop will
go to summer camp at Kerr
Scout Ranch at Slippery Falls
near Tishomingo, OK.
This past weekend, May 2-4,
Boy Scout Troop 456 attended
the Canadian Valley District
of the Last Frontier Council’s
Spring Camporee. The theme
this year was the wilderness
survival merit badge. During
this camp the boys learn to survive outdoors with skill if unable to get home or if they are
lost.
Four scouts of the Cobra
Patrol attended Camp Sasakwa for three days of camping,
cooking and outdoor skills.
Two big deer, raccoons, rabbits
and skunks were seen as well
as coyotes were heard howling in the late night hours. The
last requirement was number
8, which requires the scout to
build a shelter and sleep outside
overnight with minimum supplies. The next morning when
the leaders arose, they found
the boys in their sleeping bags
by the fire pit. Those attend-
ing were Patrol Leader Auggie
Combs, Assistant Patrol Leader Xander Morris, Head Cook
Garrett Norem, and Tenderfoot
scout Zackery Grizzle. Fun was
had by all including the three
leaders, and our Venture scout
Dusty Combs.

didn’t come. The preacher
was, however, smart enough
to tone back his rhetoric. In
somewhat similar circumstances
as the dysfunctional preacher
Al Gore remains unfazed. He
just keeps on going. He and his
“fellow warmers” named dates,
established exact tables of flood
tides for cities and have models
and gave us the exact time of
doom. Unfortunately for Al
Gore none of these took place—
at least not on the timetable he
chose.
The CO2 levels have increased
but the temperatures and tides
didn’t. In fact most scientists
have noted a long pause in the
heating of the globe. The heating
that has been noticed since 1903
continued up into the 1990s but,
as though to confound Gore and
his believers, the earth hasn’t

Al Gore could strike pay-dirt
on his dust bowl predictions,
however. The area is known to
901 Arlington • Ada • (580)332-8668
have severe droughts from time
to time and history records some
worse than the one in the 30s.
But other “experts” say the dust
bowl conditions were brought on
by poor and incorrect farming
methods preceding the drought
and that the type of dust bowl as
people suffered through in the
30s is not likely to be repeated. Check back with me in about 50
years and I’ll give you a more
definitive answer. I think the
weather will just keep on doing
what it does regardless of what I
or Al Gore think.
I think everyone has had a
great time watching “March
Madness.” I’ve heard a few
people complain that they are
sick of it but not me. Even though
it seemed most of the teams I
chose (I didn’t make a bracket)
to win crashed in flames early
on. U-Conn boys won out much
to my surprise and it now appears
that the U-Conn girls may well
win their own championship. My main concern is this: Will
all this success by U-Conn go
to the head of my brother-inlaw, Rod Bailey? Bailey, the
self-anointed mayor of Black
Rock moved to Oklahoma from
Connecticut several years ago so
I just try to humor him.
I hope all of you have a good
weekend and remember to go to
your church this Sunday.

Al Gore rode his white horse
into Kansas a few days ago to
make a speech. Of course the
speech was all about Global
Warming and Al fearlessly (and
gleefully) predicted the old dust
bowl that so afflicted parts of
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and
Colorado (and a few other parts)
back in the 30s and 50s would
soon be back.
He sort of reminds me of an
old preacher we had once upon
a time over at Stonewall who
constantly preached about the
end of the world. Even better,
he named dates and painted
a pretty sorry picture of our
future. Guess he didn’t think
we would make it. Problem
was one Christmas he said to us:
“Enjoy your Christmas children,
this will be your last.” That
particular Sunday was the day
every child in church received
a Christmas bag containing
an apple, an orange and other
goodies. It was close to being
my favorite Sunday of the year. My brother Gerald and I were
pretty concerned about this said
turn of events.
The poor preacher was
disappointed when the moon
failed to turn to blood nor did
the earth explode and the end
and Assistant Scoutmaster Kate Combs.

We have three quilts
that mean so much to us.
One was quilted by Inez
Bean, one by Clara Burcham
and one a friendship quilt
quilted in 1933 by Bill’s
grandmother Elsie and some
of her friends.
They are gifts of love that
we treasure dearly.

How many of you
remember “cooking” starch? Our friend Sue Abney and
Bill were talking about the
“good old days” this past
week. First the starch was
boiled and formed a type of
gel. Then it was poured into
a pan of water. The amount
of water depended on the
type of starch you wanted;
(heavy or light). After the
garments were dipped in the
starch they were hung outside
on the clothesline to dry.
After they were dry they
were sprinkled with water
and some folks put them in
the refrigerator for an hour or
two before ironing.
It was a long and tiresome
process but the clothes looked
great.
My grandmother
ironed my grandfather’s
khaki pants and shirts to
perfection.
I do not know of anyone
that cooks their starch
anymore.
When Bill and his dad
had the dry cleaners I helped
press shirts. After they got
out of the business I decided
it was much easier to send
them to the cleaners and
that’s what we still do.
We are continuing this week
with chapter twelve of Everett
Christians’ story.
—DD—
TWO WALKED
TOGETHER
(The story of Everett and
Flonnie’s years together)
By Everett Christian
CHAPTER XII
We Start A New Life
I need to make a
correction to the last chapter.
I wrote that our son, Ronald
Dean, was born on May 12,
1953. That should be May
8, 1953. The date of May
12, 1945 was the date that I
was wounded in World War
II so I guess I had that date
in mind.
It is 1953, we are living in
an apartment at Will Rogers
Field. I am driving to work
every day to the Veterans
Administration
Hospital
in downtown Oklahoma
City. We were not attending
church at the time. We had
been married for seven
years and now had two little
girls and a baby boy. We
were good moral people
and always tried to do what
was right. Some nice ladies
were coming to our house on
Sunday morning and taking
our two little girls to Sunday
School and church while
Flonnie and I stayed home. I
usually bought a big Sunday
Oklahoman newspaper and
read the paper. One day we
heard about a young preacher
and his wife, Jack and Erma
Dodson, who were pastoring
the Central Avenue Free Will
Baptist Church on South
Central Street in Oklahoma
City. Flonnie had gone to
school with this couple
at Gerty, Oklahoma, high
school. In my mind I guess
that I was looking for a place
to go to church since I had
attended church for the first
18 years of my life while
living on a farm. Flonnie
had also attended church
at different times while she
was younger. When we
heard that Jack and Erma
were pastoring in Oklahoma
City, we decided to attend
the church where they were
pastoring. I think it was in
the month of August, 1953,
that we started attending
church.
In September of 1953
after we had been attending
church for about a month, one
Sunday night I was at church
without Flonnie and the kids.
When Pastor Jack made the
altar call at the close of his
sermon I made my way down
to the front of the church
and knelt at the altar(some
used to call it a mourners
bench). Immediately the
men of the church were
kneeling right beside me and
praying for my Salvation. I
accepted Jesus Christ as my
Lord and Savior. I noticed
later as I attended church
the people would call me
Brother Christian or Brother
Everett. That made me feel
good that I was now being
called a brother to them.
A few nights later we
heard of a Revival meeting
being held at a Free Will
Baptist Church in the little
community of Bridgecreek,
Oklahoma, a few miles from
Oklahoma City. I think that I
suggested to Jack and Erma
that we attend a service in
that Revival. One night we
did attend a service. I think
someone must have kept the
girls that night so it was Jack,
Erma, Flonnie, our baby
Ron, and me that attended
the Revival. Ed Morris was
preaching that Revival. He
also pastored a church in
Oklahoma City. When the
alter call was made that night
for people to come and accept
Jesus as their Saviour, Flonnie
went to the alter. Now we
were both Christian parents
and raised our children in a
Christian home from that time
on. Flonnie and I were later
baptized. We have attended
several churches through
the years and there will be
more about that as my story
continues. Flonnie attended
church until God took her
to Heaven on February 24,
2008. I am still attending
church when I feel like it. I
don’t attend church much in
the evening since I am getting
more feeble and I have my
cats to take care of but when
I was younger I was faithful
in my attendance to all the
services of the church as
anyone who knows me can
tell you. I don’t know why
God is leaving me here on
this earth but there must be
a reason. Maybe to take care
of our cats. Jack Dodson,
the minister who led me to
the Lord has now gone on to
Heaven but he will always
have a dear place in my heart.
I am not sure if his wife, Erma,
is still living or not. She was
living in Crossett, Arkansas,
the last we heard about her.
I think it was in the Spring
of 1954 that we saw an ad in
the paper about new houses
being built in southeast
Oklahoma City. Flonnie and
I looked at one of the houses
and decided to purchase it
if we could. The address
was 1319 Southeast 41st
Street. The down payment
was very small and I got a loan
under the GI Bill. Our loan
was approved and we moved
into our new house. It was a
three bedroom house with
a kitchen and dining room
combined and one bathroom.
It had a floor furnace but
no air conditioning. It had
hardwood floors which
Flonnie kept shining at
all times. Flonnie was an
excellent housekeeper. I
am sorry that I didn’t offer
to help her more with the
housework.
At that time Treva was
in first grade I think and had
to walk several blocks to the
Shields Boulevard. School.
An older girl that we knew
would walk with her. One time
the older girl was not there to
walk with Treva so she had
to walk those many blocks
home by herself. School
buses were not available to
take her to school. Later a
little elementary school was
built at the end of our street
and Treva and June then
had to walk about a block to
school.

Bailee Cartwright to graduate Summa Cum Laude
HOLDENVILLE, Okla. – Bailee Cartwright, Moss High School alumni,
excels at Northwestern State University not only in the classroom but also in
various student organizations. Cartwright graduates with a 4.0 G.P.A while
serving as a member of nine different student organizations.
Cartwright left Moss High School with various athletic and academic
honors including Valedictorian and four All-State honors. Receiving
a Division I softball scholarship from NSU was the primary reason
she pursued the university. Being the first in her family to attend
college out of state, there were many obstacles she had to overcome. “The distance was definitely something I had to consider
when committing to such a large University, but I knew NSU
was like a second home to me,” Cartwright said.
Even though Cartwright suffered from a career ending
softball injury, she was determined to focus on her education
and student involvement on campus. Cartwright received
the Top Academic Athlete of the Year award and also made
the Southland Conference Honor Roll all four years.
On Friday, May 9, Cartwright will graduate with a
bachelor’s of mass communications and minor in business. She graduates top of her class earning the elite
honor of Summa Cum Laude. Cartwright is one of
only two students who have received this honor in her
department this year. What makes her accomplishment
even more impressive is how involved Cartwright is on campus as well as
working 30 hours a week at a local law firm.
Cartwright has been inducted into several selective all-discipline honor
societies such as Phi Kappa Phi, which serves as the nation’s oldest and
most prestigious honor society. She was a member of Phi Mu Fraternity
serving as the intramural committee chair and also served as the Copy
Editor and Sport’s Writer for the University Yearbook where she
acquired her interest in mass communications.
“I knew I had to get involved since I was so far away from
home, but I never expected to be a part of so many organizations,” Cartwright said. “I was blessed to be able to serve on
such a variety of organizations, and I recommend all college
freshmen join as many organizations as possible to build
student and faculty member relationships.” Cartwright’s
organizational membership and student relationships definitely paid off earning her a spot on the NSU Homecoming Honor Court this past fall.
Cartwright, daughter of Tom and Tina Cartwright,
received the President’s honor medal at graduation and
was recognized for her accomplishments during the ceremony. “I owe so much to my parents because they have
been my biggest supporters and without them I would
have never been able to accomplish my educational and
athletic goals,” Cartwright said.
Cartwright plans to work in the sales and marketing field now that she has graduated. “Now that I
have my diploma, I’m pretty much all set to begin this new, enriching
chapter in my life on the right foot,” Cartwright said.
