_{JYMMY JOE MARTIN ''73
Yes it's me folk's. I haven't been killed yet and I'm living in MT PLEASANT,TX. just two hours from ALLEN REED!!!!! All of my children are grown and having 4 Grandchildren keeps me busy now. I so love MANGUM and
the friends I grew up with. I know we always got away with things that today would have gotten us all thrown in the pokey now day's. Thank God we were being looked after, not only by God but by all of our family and friends as well. That's what has always made MANGUM special to all of us. If anyone out there would like a great laugh or has forgotten some of the things we pulled, e-mail me and I'll rattle your memory bank.

Jackie D. Hawkins '81

Bob, ... Just a note to talk a little about Mrs. Chloe Jones.
I had heard from my mother of Mrs. Jones' passing. I was somewhat
saddened to hear of this because, after all, we want everyone to
...well...live forever.

I'm an '81 graduate of MHS and can recall Mrs. Jones teaching consumer
math and government. The math was the kind we all use or should use
everyday. It involved things like budgets, finding the best buy on the
price of goods and balancing a checkbook. I was in 10th grade when I
took her class and from her teaching was inspired to open a checking and
savings account. I know of some schools in our grand country, where
students just barely cover consumer math in 8th grade and no longer see a
checkbook or bank statement until they have graduated and have to recall
what they "skimmed" over 4 to 5 years in the past. This makes room for
stupid money decisions that open the door to lots of "stupid tax". Sure,
I've paid my share of "stupid tax" and I'm sure many others in my
generation know what I'm talking about and have done the same...but if
you've ever done something stupid with money...that means you're over age
12.

She also taught government. She showed the correlation between the
structure of our government as it was based in the Bible.
For example, one judge in the courtroom...one judge in life (God). She
showed the structure of the three branches in government were based from
the book of Ezra. We have twelve jurors in a court and there were twelve
disciples. We also learned the ten commandments and how the ten were
summed up into two and then had several pop quizzes where we had to write
out the ten commandments as well as the summation.

She often said "when they tell me that I can no longer teach from the
Bible in this school...I'll have to retire." I don't know if it ever
really came to that...I was only a young skull full of mush...but she did
retire from teaching. Now, I can only wonder.

Can our teachers teaching government today use the Bible as did Mrs.
Jones? Probably not...the mental disease of political correctness that
is destroying our country... simply will not allow it... because it's
somehow against the law. It supposedly goes against the "separation of
church & state" law...which does not exist in our country's founding
documents...Mrs.Chloe Jones proved it to us in class. (This law does
exist, however, in the communist manifesto constructed for the USSR...a
socialist experiment that, yet again, has failed.)

In the 60's, prayer was supposedly outlawed in school. Many times the
subject comes up of removing God from our coins, our founding documents,
and our pledge of allegiance. If they do this...they'll eventually have
to remove God from our National Anthem as well. The second verse of our
National Anthem mentions God. I would say a good percentage of our
population doesn't even know of a second verse to the National
Anthem...but my mother and Mrs. Jones are of a generation that speaks of
singing the Anthem in it's entirety at school functions.

I really didn't intend to be political or religious when I started this
letter...but my thoughts go back to that classroom of Mrs. Jones and what
she taught...and how she chose to teach it.
It is politics and religion that guide this country along it's path.
I regret that I'm too late...too late to find her and thank her for the
time, interest, and dedication she put into teaching each student in her
government class in 1979.

Thank you for your time,

JACKIE D. HAWKINS

Well, my plans to attend the banquet this year fell through, so I thought I’d send a brief update.

We are still in the Broken Bow, OK area managing 22 beautiful vacation cabins and The Turning Leaf Inn, our new bed and breakfast inn managed by our daughter Sarah. We are offering a 20% discount on any cabin or inn stay this fall (2007) to any MHS graduate. Give us a call and we’ll reserve you a cabin or room at our luxurious bed and breakfast inn (www.BeaversBendGetaways.com).

Enough advertising. We are all fine, but the kids are getting dispersed throughout the U.S. Daniel, 27, is now stationed in Rapid City, SD flying the B-1 Bomber for the USAF. Joseph, 21, is in the midst of US Coast Guard basic training in Cape May, NJ. Both of these fine sons will be presenting us with our first grandchildren in Oct. and Dec. (nice gifts for our 50th year of life). Sarah, 25, is now the official innkeeper of The Turning Leaf Inn, Oklahoma’s finest bed and breakfast inn. Hannah, 10, and Isaac, 8, are still extremely active and busy kids and their favorite activity is swimming in beautiful Broken Bow Lake. They keep Lindy and me plenty busy.

That’s about it from here. Give us a call if you’re ever down in this corner of the state.

Hello everyone!! I am Laura (Hendry) Ferguson. I graduated in 1990. Just thought I would drop a little note to let everyone know where I'm at and what I'm doing with my life. I have been an LPN in Enid Oklahoma for about 6 years now. I recently graduated from RN school in April of 2007. I have 2 beautiful kids named Kasey (8yr old boy) and Karlee (13 yr old girl). Both of my kids have attended Mangum Public Schools. My family still lives in Mangum and I come home to visit frequently. Mangum will always be home. It's funny how everyone picks up on my southern accent up here and wants to know where I'm from. I proudly say Mangum Oklahoma. Would love to here from my former classmates and friends. Love to all my friends, Laura

mangumokclassof89-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Just a note to let everyone know where I am and what’s been going on with me lately and to say hello to everyone. I have spent 23 of the last 35 months in Iraq, Lebanon, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Dubai, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Jordan working for the Department of Defense and Department of State in a variety of assignments including security, counter-intelligence, democratization, and vital infrastructure improvement.

I am presently in Iraq and can be best reached via al.rosenbaum@googlemail.com which I can pick up anywhere in the world. I am hoping to be back to Magnum for my 40th coming up next year. I have attached a pic but have literally hundreds which I have taken from all over Iraq if anyone wants copies.

_{Phil Raby '82 & Lisa (Stumbaugh) Raby '85
Just a note from Phil and Lisa (Stumbaugh) Raby . We are still in Mannford, OK and now we are both driving trucks. We still have our son with us we are home schooling him and he is doing great! Last year he got all A's and this is a computer program that he can take on the truck with us. We have a laptop with an air card so we can get on the internet from the truck. We were not able to come to this years activities due to the fact that we had just started driving for a new company the week before. I wish we had been able to come since it was my 20th but you have to do what you have to do I guess. I heard that there are several people up here in the Tulsa area maybe sometime we should try to get together or at least e-mail. Well got to go for now. Talk to you sometime soon I hope.

Jamie (Willhight) Mills '99

Hello All! My name is Jamie(Willhight) Mills. I graduated from Mangum High School in 1999. I just wanted to update all about where I have been and what I have been doing. In October 2002, I moved from Hollis to Farmington, NM. There my second son was born in February 2003. I now have two children, Eric age 5 and Thomas age 1. While I lived in Farmington, I was the administrative assistant for The Salvation Army. What rewarding work it was! In October 2004, I moved back to Mangum so that my son could attend Mangum schools, as I did. We are still in Mangum and doing well. God Bless and have a great year!
