This new committee is multi-faceted, dealing with many issues Laura Enriquez, Immediate Past President confronting the lives of lawyers. The mission and goal of this committee is to enhance the lives of the lawyers and their families in this community. During my work with the El Paso Bar 2015-2016 Board Members Association over the last number of years, I have received a number of calls from lawyers and/or Melissa Baeza Danny Razo their families asking for help. These lawyers and their families were facing very difficult issues, Judge Miguel Torres and reluctantly, reached out to the El Paso Bar Association for its assistance. Unfortunately, Felix Valenzuela the El Paso Bar Association was not equipped to provide any assistance. Sean White Kristina Voorhies Legan Aldo Lopez El Paso possesses an inordinate number of solo practitioners and small firms. The percentage David Mirazo of solo practitioners and small firms in El Paso greatly exceeds the percentages of other like size Janet Monteros Philip Mullin communities. El Paso has a significant number of solo practitioners in various practice areas, Bill Hicks such as Family Law, Immigration, Criminal Defense, Plaintiff Personal Injury, and the general Jessica Kludt Plaintiff’s Bar. What do these solo’s and their families do with their pending cases, files, and Charles Ruhmann Judge Laura Strathman clients, if the attorney dies, or has a serious medical problem that prevents that attorney from Jed Untereker continuing their practice for a long period of time or indefinitely? What happens to the file, the pending case, or the client? What can we do for the attorney and the attorney’s practice if the Ex-Officios SBOT Director, District 17, EPYLA, attorney suffers a mental health problem? Can the Bar help a financially stricken family when MABA, EPWBA, ABOTA, FBA, EPBF, the attorney breadwinner is suddenly stricken with a medical problem preventing the attorney EPFLBA, EPPBA, EPALP from working, or the attorney suddenly dies? Sadly, I have even been contacted by a family, Executive Director without sufficient resources to pay for funeral expenses for their attorney family member.

    371 /V8 A/O 'oo THE "VIVA KENNEDY" CLUBS IN SOUTH TEXAS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Joan Traffas, B.A. Denton, Texas December, 1972 Traffas, Joan, The "Viva Kennedy" Clubs in South Texas. Master of Arts (History), December, 1972, 132 pp., 2 tables, bibliography, 115 titles. This thesis analyzes the impact of the Mexican-American voters in south Texas on the 1960 presidential election. During that election year, this ethnic minority was strong enough to merit direct appeals from the Democratic presiden- tial candidate, and subsequently, allowed to conduct a unique campaign divorced from the direct control of the conservative state Democratic machinery. Formerly, the Democratic politicos in south Texas manipulated the Mexican-American vote. In 1960, however, the Chicanos voted for a man with whom they could empathize, rather than for a party label. This strong identification with the Democratic candidate was rooted in psychological rather than ideological, social rather than political, factors. John F. Kennedy seemed to personify machismo and simpatla. Perhaps even more impres- sive than the enthusiasm, the Kennedy candidacy generated among the Mexican-Americans was the ability of the Texas Democratic regulars to prevent a liberal-conservative rup- ture within the state party. This was accomplished by per- mitting the Mexican-American "Viva Kennedy" clubs quasi- independence. Because of these two conditions, the Mexican- American ethnic minority became politically salient in the 1960 campaign. 1 2 The study of the Mexican-American political behavior in 1960 proceeds in three stages.

    FRANCES FARENTHOLD: TEXAS’ JOAN OF ARC Stephanie Fields-Hawkins Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2012 APPROVED: Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Major Professor Randolph B. Campbell, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Fields-Hawkins, Stephanie. Frances Farenthold: Texas’ Joan of Arc. Master of Arts (History), December 2012, 141 pp., bibliography, 179 titles. Born in 1926, Frances “Sissy” Tarlton Farenthold began her exploration of politics at a young age. In 1942, Farenthold graduated from Hockaday School for Girls. In 1945, she graduated from Vassar College, and in 1949, she graduated from the University of Texas School of Law. Farenthold was a practicing lawyer, participated in the Corpus Christi Human Relations Commission from 1964 to 1969, and directed Nueces County Legal Aid from 1965 to 1967. In 1969, she began her first term in the Texas House of Representatives. During her second term in the House (1971-1972), Farenthold became a leader in the fight against government corruption. In 1972, she ran in the Democratic primary for Texas governor, and forced a close run-off vote with Dolph Briscoe. Soon afterwards in 1972, she was nominated as a Democratic vice- presidential candidate at the Democratic convention, in addition to her nomination as the chairperson of the National Women’s Political Caucus. Farenthold ran in the Democratic primary for governor again in 1974, but lost decisively. From 1976 until 1980, she was the first woman president of Wells College, before coming back to Texas and opening a law practice.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL SOCIETY 53 EAST TEXAS CONGRESSMEN DURING THE NEW DEAL by Philip A. Grant, Jr. On March 9, 1933 the Seventy-Third Congress was called to order. Summoned into emergency session by newly inaugurated President Franklin D. Roosevelt, this Congress was to enact an impressive array oflaws and thus begin the momentous era of the New Deal. Between March 9, 1933 and the adjournment of the Seventy-Sixth Con­ gress on January 3, 1940 the nation was destined to undergo the most sweeping domestic reform movement in its entire history, experience a wide variety of serious economic and social problems, and witness the ominous rise of totalitarian aggression in Europe and the Far East. During this fateful ninety-four month period a number of distinguished gentlemen from East Texas were members of the House of Representatives.
