Bush In Bolivar? That's Right! Several students had the opportunity to see George Bush on September 28 at the dedication ceremony of the Gene Taylor Free Enterprise Center on the campus of Southwest Baptist University. Business and FFA students attended the ceremony in Bolivar. FFA member, Belinda Routh said, “It was an honor to see him in person. I found his speech interesting and informative, and it is something I will always remember! Security was very tight on the campus with uniformed and plain clothed policemen walking around among the estimat- ed 5,000 people who attended. An abundance of secret servicemen in suits and dark glasses scanned the crowd. Purses were checked as observers walked through a metal detector and all cameras had to be advanced once before they could enter the area. Policemen manned rooftops with guns and binoculars constantly watching everyone. George Bush was the first governmental official of such stature to visit Bolivar since President Harry S. Truman's visit in 1948. Board Members: Seated President. Bill LeAN; Secretary. Rolla Ander- son; Treasurer. Wendell McShane; Carolyn Rogers. Standing Vice Presi- dent.

Becky, who earlier in the day had been elected state FTA president at a conference in Columbia, referring to her busy day said, “I didn’t have time to think, it was just flash! flash! flash!” The Clyde McMasters Band enter- tained the approximate 90 people (in- cluding students and their dates, board members and teachers) with country and western music. According to Bry- an Allison, They really boogied.” The Barnwarming court included: freshman Melody Ahlers escorted by Kevin Hickman, sophomore Wendy McShane escorted by Gary Tharp, and senior Kathy Tinsley escorted by Joe DuBose.
