In a letter addressed to both Mr. Rudy Bowles and Mr. Jesus Diaz-Wever from Dr. Roger Shultz, Professor Emeritus of Theatre at Texas A&M University, the critic-judge at this years District 29 AAAAA One Act Play Contest commended the efforts of both schools and their dedicated teachers and students.
The letter reads as follows:
WOW! Do you ever have some talented, well-behaved students and some remarkably dedicated teachers! As the critic-judge at this year's District 29 AAAAA One-Act Play Contest, I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was by Cynthia Sepulveda and Adolfo Flores along with their students. Their production of Voices and David & Lisa were delightful. Equally, if not more important, was the overall behavior of the Eagle Pass High School/ C.C. Winn students. At a time when there are many complaints and concerns about "kids today," I am pleased to report to you that the students in your theatre program were excellent ambassadors for your school and your community. As a classroom teacher, theatre director and theatre adjudicator/respondent for the last forty years, I know what makes for good productions and good students-good directors! And you certainly have that. The performance and the exemplary behavior of your students was the direct result of your teacher's knowledgeable, industrious and dedicated leadership. In short, you were represented by "winners" at this year's UIL One-Act Play Contest.
Cordially, Roger Schultz, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Theatre

The Eagle Pass Public Library informs the public in general that they are conducting a month-long activity to coincide with National Library Week which is April 14-20, 2013.
Rafael Chancey informed The News Gram that there will be no late fees or penalties for the entire month of April on late books or materials checked out of the library all month.
"Late fees on your account are taken off once you turn in late material," added Chancey.
In reference to the subsequent renovation and improvements to the library to conform to ADA standards and to make access easier to historical files and materials up stairs, Chancey said that the city's Planning Department is working with an architect and are hoping for a September start to the upgrades.
"Today’s libraries can help you and your family discover a new and exciting world through collections, digital resources and more. Whether you come for homework or job searches, help with citizenship issues or finances, adult education classes or to find the best books for young readers, libraries are a great place to spend quality time and connect with loved ones and friends," says Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late great US President John F. Kennedy.
Washington, Apr 15 (EFE).- The "full weight of justice" will fall on those found to have been behind Monday's deadly bombings in Boston, U.S. President Barack Obama said hours after two people were killed and more than 110 others wounded in explosions at the finish line of the city's famous marathon.
"We still do not know who did this, or why, and people shouldn't jump to conclusions before we have all the facts," Obama said at the White House.
"But make no mistake: We will get to the bottom of this. And we will find out who did this, we'll find out why they did this," the president said.
"Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice," he said.
"We're continuing to monitor and respond to the situation as it unfolds, and I've directed the full resources of the federal government to help state and local authorities protect our people, increase security around the United States as necessary, and investigate what happened," the president said.
Federal authorities characterized the incident as a terrorist attack.
Boston police said they found and disarmed two other explosive devices in the vicinity of the blasts.
The city's police commissioner, Ed Davis, said media reports that authorities had a suspect in custody were incorrect.
A fire at Boston's John F. Kennedy Presidential Library was ultimately determined to be accidental and not related to the explosions downtown.
The blasts happened within seconds of each other, according to a Boston Herald reporter who was among the 26,000 competing in the race.
The explosions occurred shortly before 3:00 p.m. as dozens of runners were crossing the finish line near Copley Square, packed with thousands of spectators and friends and family of the competitors.
Runners still on the course were called in after the explosions and authorities evacuated two hotels in the vicinity. EFE
