  • Then and Now
    Diboll Days DibollDiboll DaysDays Then and Now Written by Rebecca Donahoe & Linda Maxey Illustrated by Raymond Ryan Diboll Days Then and now Diboll In the piney woods of East Texas, there is a community named Diboll. This is the story of the town from its beginning. 1 The first people who lived in the area were Indians. These Indians were probably mound builders. Little is known about these very old or “archaic people” except for the things that are found buried in their mounds. Archeologists still find and study artifacts or things left by these Indians in Nacogdoches, Alto and East Texas. 2 By the late 1600’s several tribes known as the Hasinai Confederation of Caddos lived in the East Texas area. Because the tribes were friendly, they called each other “taysha” which meant “friends or allies.” The Spaniards who lived in the area probably used the word “tejas” in the same way. The Spanish and French were the first European people to explore Texas. When they came into this area, they met a young Hasinai Indian girl named Angelina. They wrote about her in their diaries. She was described as gentle and likable. Even her name meant “little angel.” Of the 254 counties in the state of Texas, only Angelina County has a woman’s name. 3 Many other tribes of Indians moved in and out of East Texas over time following game into the area. There were many animals such as squirrels, deer, wild hogs, black bears and panthers making their homes in the forest. The Alabama and Coushatta tribes especially liked the area of East Texas along the Angelina and Neches Rivers.

"The smaller schools in a conference don't think it's fair that they have to play schools often twice or three times as big. Or Conference A schools who play football don't think it's fair that they have to play schools who don't play football and practice basketball." Then, there's the prqblem of the so-called "super high school," consisting of 3,000 or more students. "The organization of these schools, with ninth and tenth grades over here and eleventh and twelfth grades over there, creates a lot of concern," Farney said. "Even though Conference 5A now has a two-division football playoff system, the schools in the lower end of enrollment still perceive themselves to be at a disadvantage, especially in football."

  • MANY STARS COME from TEXAS. MESSAGE Fr O M Th E FOUNDER
    MANY STARS COME FROM TEXAS. MESSAGE fr o m th e FOUNDER s the Terry Foundation approaches our twentieth anniversary, A what began modestly in 1986 is now the largest private source of scholarships for a growing number of Texas public universities. After its first seventeen years at the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University, the Foundation expanded for the first time in 2004 to include Scholars at the University of Houston and at Texas State University-San Marcos. In 2005, the Board of Directors approved additional growth for the Terry Foundation Scholarship Program to the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Texas at Dallas. The first Scholars for UTD and UTSA were selected at interviews in April, 2006 and will begin college in the fall of 2006. The Foundation is pleased to welcome these outstanding institutions to the Terry program. In April, the Foundation selected a total of 157 new 2006 Scholars. We are indebted to our Scholars and Scholar Alumni who joined the Howard L. Terry members of our Board of Directors in serving on the panels to select the new class. This new class, when combined with our existing Scholars, will bring the total number of active Terry Scholars at all six universities to more than six hundred students. The spring of 2006 also brought graduation to 137 Terry Scholars, many of whom graduated with honors. They join a growing body of Scholar Alumni that now numbers over 900. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Foundation staff, we would also like to thank the staffs at the University of Texas at Dallas, the University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas State University-San Marcos, the University of Houston, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas at Austin, for their invaluable assistance during our annual interview process in Austin, Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio.
