Wolverine Sports by Tom Turner

It’s time for some WNBA players to go to the Principal’s office There’s a theory amongst adults that the cruelest animal on the earth can be a middle school girl! A middle school age human is capable of saying and doing things to their own species that no other animal would do. ( Except maybe a praying mantis that bites off her mates head!) Imagine a scenario where a new girl arrives at school.
The Wolverines had impressive showings in both their team camps. Coach Barker has record numbers of his athletes participating in ‘Summer Pride’ !

HUGHES COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY OPEN ALUMNI WEEKEND

Body
You may have noticed some activity around the Hughes County Historical Society and Museum in the past few weeks. Our windows have needed repair for some time now due to age and Oklahoma weather. The windows recently became an immediate need on our list due to continued decay of the wood and other issues with the glass itself. Generous donations from various members and community partners have made it possible to initiate repairs beginning with the windows that were in the worst shape and in need of immediate repair. A special thanks goes to the Holdenville Class of 1964 for their donation and multiple other donations too numerous to name.
