Melanie Oren reflects on recent weekends with family friends and politicians. She recalls meeting Governor George Bush at a Wheeler fundraiser and chuckwagon breakfast, calling him human and humorous, and notes other Shamrock area events including the St Patrick’s chuckwagon cook-off and pageants.

Annexation vote clears path for Wellington district plan
On March 20, 1948, 145 voters supported annexing Kelley and Kesler school districts into Wellington Rural Independent Rural High School district, with only two opposing. The approval enables immediate construction planning for a new grade school on 15th Street near the high and junior high buildings, as Superintendent E L Pritchett praises the co operation. Plans, consultations with an architectural firm, and cantata preparations mark the ensuing Easter season events.
