Four Bobcats Representing Theodore As Mobile Azalea Trail Maids, 2013-2014 Free Publication Student Newspaper of Theodore High School 6201 Swedetown Road Paw Print News Theodore AL, 36582 Volume 6, Issue 4 Theodore High School February 2013 Four Bobcats representing Theodore as Mobile Azalea Trail Maids, 2013-2014 By Jessica Silva Reporter We have welcomed a new year, and now it is time to welcome a new group of Azalea Trail Maids. Many junior girls across the coun- ty had the dream of becoming Trail Maids, but only 50 were chosen. The selection process was long and stressful. To begin, each school conducted their individual interviews to see who would represent the school; each school is allowed a certain amount of spots based on the num- ber of girls in the junior class. Then, those girls went on to com- pete in the county-level interviews, which consisted of a pool of 100 girls. After that process, the long-antic- ipated letter which tells the appli- cant whether or not she was select- ed was mailed to each girl’s house. Marissa Horstman, Gracie Hutto, Lauren Hodges, and Mara Baker were four of the girls select- Photo by Hannah Bice/Photographer ed to be 2013-2014 Azalea Trail Azalea Trail Maids, left to right: Marissa Horstman, Gracie Hutto, Mara Baker, and Lauren Hodges.

  • Guide to the Lambert C. Mims Papers
    Guide to the Lambert C. Mims Papers Descriptive Summary: Creator: Lambert C. Mims, 1930-2008 Title: Lambert C. Mims Papers Dates: 1820-2003 (bulk 1965-1989) Quantity: 160.5 linear feet Abstract: Papers agendas, audio tapes, books, campaign material, correspondence, flyers, legal material, magazines, maps, negatives, news clippings, notes, pamphlets, photographs, plaques, reports, slides, speeches, and video tapes. Covers a multitude of local subjects typically found within such political collections. Accession: 06-09-459 ; 459-2006 Biographical Note: Lambert C. Mims was born in 1930 in Uriah, Alabama. He moved to Mobile, Alabama, in 1949 and worked as a salesman before co-founding, a year later, a feed company, and, in 1965, branching out on his own. Lambert Mims was public works commissioner and rotating mayor of Mobile from 1965 to 1985. During Mims' time as mayor/commissioner, the city of Mobile experienced the latter part of the modern civil rights movement, completed the Bayway, and unveiled the George C. Wallace Tunnel. It opened Mobile Greyhound Park and saw the Southern Market/City Hall designated a national historic landmark. It reconstructed and opened Fort Condé and celebrated the nation's bicentennial. It witnessed the devastating destruction of hurricanes Camille and Frederic and saw the first oil well drilled in the bay. It witnessed the completion of the I-65 link across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and celebrated the opening of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. When first elected, Mims was the youngest city commissioner in Mobile's history. Upon leaving office, Governor George Wallace appointed Mims as his ambassador to the Alabama Waterways Development Agency, a position he held from 1985 until March 1987, and one in which he promoted the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.
