eading Lisa Tates story on the El

Paso High School Centennial
Celebration (and the upcoming
centennial of several other landmark area
schools) reminded me that my own alma
mater turns 100 next year.
I attended Torrance High School in suburban Southern California. By that time
the city of Torrance had four public high
schools, but ours was the first, founded
in 1917. Like some of El Pasos older
schools, we had a classically styled main
building. In fact, four of our buildings
are on the National Register of Historic
Places.
You may never have heard of Torrance
High School, but youve probably seen it
on TV as West Beverly High in
Beverly Hills, 90210, as Sunnydale
High in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
in several movies, most prominently as
William Henry Harrison High in the
1999 film Shes All That.
All of this Hollywood popularity came
long after my tenure at the school (I
graduated in 1970) but I had the opportunity to talk about it last year at a reunion
with a former teacher who had stayed at
Torrance for his entire career. The students were very excited at first to see
camera crews and TV and movie stars on
their campus, he said. But after a while it
became almost routine. Some of the students even grumbled at having part of
the campus blocked off and having to
walk around a film set to get to class.
Torrance High School also got a mention in another recent film and best-selling book: Unbroken, the story of 1935
THS graduate Louie Zamperini, who ran
in the 1936 Olympics and spent 47 days
at sea after his aircraft bomber crashed
into the Pacific, then survived more than
two years of brutal treatment in Japan as
a prisoner of war.
The most famous graduate of my class
was David Pack, who founded the band
Ambrosia the same year we graduated. I
knew him slightly then. We had a chance
to talk 30 years later at a reunion. He
actually asked to have his picture taken
with me!
I told him I should be asking him so I

could prove to my stepson that I went to

a school with a rock star. Dave laughed,
and said, I want to show my stepson
that I knew the valedictorian!
Dave is still doing music more than 46
years later he recently teamed up with
another 1970 THS grad, drummer Fred
Beato, and launched the Beato Band. Its
not their first collaboration back in
high school they led a 9-piece band that
won the U.S. Battle of the Bands in
Atlantic City.
Beato, by the way, was a Cuban refugee
whose parents sent him to the U.S. at age
10. I still remember the time our high
school had an assembly, some kind of
Cold War propaganda presentation with a
speaker who pretended to be a
Communist. Freddie didnt get the joke
and his Cuban blood boiled understandably, since he had fled the Castro
regime. He jumped from his seat and
rushed at the speaker; fortunately some
of students tackled him in the aisle and
calmed him down, telling him the speaker wasnt really a Soviet agent.

o other book in the Bible is

referred to as often but read as
little as Job.
Its a story weve all heard. Job is a
wealthy and righteous man who loses
everything. His livestock is destroyed
and his servants and children are all
killed, the result of a divine dare
between God and Satan. Job refuses to
curse God, so Satan ups the ante by
inflicting painful boils all over Jobs
body.
Job still refuses to curse God, but he
wants an answer. Why has this happened
to him?
All this happens in the first three chapters of Job. In Chapter 38, the LORD
answered Job out of the whirlwind.
What Job hears is not an explanation,
but an exposition of Gods power and
sovereignty.
Job no longer seeks to argue with God,
but admits he spoke of things I did not
understand, things too wonderful to
know, and therefore (I) repent in dust
and ashes.
In this 42nd and final chapter of Job,
God also restores what Job has lost, and
blessed the latter part of Jobs life more
than the first.
You may have noticed that I skipped
over 32 chapters of the Book of Job.
Which is exactly what most people do.
Because those 32 chapters are exquisite
literature unlike anything else in the
Bible. They include three cycles of dialogue between Job and his three
friends, whom he eventually refers to
as miserable comforters and worthless physicians. A fourth friend comes
along later and adds his remarks to all
the others.
The challenge of Job is that the discourses by these so-called friends
Eliphaz, Bildan, Zophan and Elihu
sound pious and wise, but they all miss
the mark. Nowhere else in the Bible do
you read page after page of speeches

that in a sense are not meant to be taken

as Scripture.
The main problem with Jobs friends is
that they are unwilling to grasp the reality of Jobs situation. Surely Job must
have done something wrong to deserve
such a fate. All these men believe that
righteousness is rewarded and evil is
punished. Jobs plight contradicts everything theyve been taught.
So instead of questioning their own
world-view, they choose to deny Jobs
claim of innocence. They repeat all the
proverbs they learned from their elders
and ignore Jobs protestations that life
does not always line up with such teachings.
When Job insists that God owes him an
explanation, his friends accuse him of
rebellion and arrogance.
Although God never tells Job about the
cosmic contest that led to his woes, he
does not condemn Job for his questions
and doubts. But God does come down
hard on Jobs friends who pretended to
speak on Gods behalf.
I am angry with you ... you have not
spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. So God commands them
to offer sacrifices, and Job prays for God
to forgive them.
If you think you dont like the Bible,
you might want to give the Book of Job
a shot. It addresses the greatest questions a human being may ask of God,
and refuses to give easy answers.

El Paso High School

prepares for massive
centennial celebration
Stories by
Lisa Kay Tate
(Class of 1987)
n commemoration of the schools first

100 years, El Paso Highs Centennial
Homecoming celebrations are hoping to
gain the attention not only of the entire El
Paso area community, but also to make a
new place in history.
Anna Mares of El Paso Alumni
Association Board of Directors said the
homecoming celebration Oct. 6-8 will be
laced with many of the schools traditions.
The Oct 6 event, the Eve of the E is
derived from the original tradition of lighting the E on the mountain, she said.
The current tradition has moved the lighting of the E to the EPHS football field.
The game itself, will be against El Paso
High Schools original rival, the Austin
Panthers, in which both teams battle for
the bragging rights of keeping the coveted
Claw trophy for a year.
Mares said the excitement is already
being seen throughout the Tiger community. There is even a foreign exchange student from the class of 1957 coming from
Germany to participate in the event.
Many families throughout the country
are traveling to El Paso and are planning to
participate in the Centennial Celebration
and at the same time are planning family
reunions, Mares said. El Paso will be
one big party.
The main event, the Guinness World
Record attempt for the most alumni attending a homecoming event, will take place
during the game. In order to beat the current record, more than 3,300 alumni are
needed to congregate in the schools stadium during the event.
Mares said she and other volunteers have
been hard at work to make sure as many
Tiger alumni as possible are properly registered for the official event. She said even
current El Paso High students have been
helpful in assisting registrants with tasks
September 2016
El Paso High will be the center of attention this year, but it is just the beginning of
the areas coming of age of the border areas educational legacy.
The citys oldest public high school, El Paso High, celebrates its centennial in
2016, with not only an attempt to break a world record during its homecoming, but
a year-long series of talks, celebrations and gatherings and other events that have
been long in the planning.
The school building itself has gained recognition as a showpiece created by
famed El Paso architects Trost & Trost in 1916.
Over the next two decades, a handful of other El Paso area public schools will
host their own celebrations as Austin, Ysleta, Gadsden, and Bowie soon will celebrate their centennials of welcoming students into their historic halls.

like copying old Spur yearbook pictures.
Mares said this attempt is daunting but
doable, and many have already registered
online and through the mail.
The Alumni Association hopes and
believes that the record can be broken,
she said.
The celebrations for the Centennial started long before the official Homecoming
this fall, most notably with the Legacy
Series of talks beginning in January. The
series was created, written and directed by
Liz Gaidry, former longtime theatre director for the school, along with Former faculty member Lee Schwartz. The multimedia interactive series chronicles 100 years
of the schools history in sports, military,
academics, arts and more.
The first series was about the history of
El Paso High School. Margaret Smith,
Gustovus Trosts granddaughter and
Henry Trosts great niece, was in attendance, Mares said. The military excellence series took place outside in the
majestic stadium overlooking the city and
sitting at the foot of the Franklin
Mountains. Paying tribute to all the EPHS
armed forces, EPHS heroes, made us all
proud to be Americans and classmates.

Schwartz said one of the reasons the talks
have been so well attended is people like
to see what the schools tens of thousands
of alumni have been doing over the years.
The Legacy production staff has intentionally included personal stories and pictures of graduates in each program,
Schwartz said. Our Parade of Athletes in
the March Sports Legacy program drew a
close to sell out crowd.
Alumna Marilyn Moore Cromeans said
Schwartz and Mares have done an excellent job with the series.
I was very skeptical when Lee started
talking about it a couple of years ago, but
she gathered a great committee and made
it happen, she said.
Schwartz anticipates the Whos Who in
Art in September will also be a big draw
as well as the art show and reception preceding the production.
Talented and famous people have come
forth from the halls of EPHS and are out in
the world doing good, Schwartz said.
Class of 1958 alumnus Mary Jo Ponsord
Melby had her own special memory of one
of the schools well-known alumni, who
El Paso Scene
even then had a flair for the dramatic.

Melby said she remembered one civics
class in 1957, when the beloved and
somewhat feared teacher, Harry Hut
Brown, announced the entire class needed
to report on the country of their choice
come the following Monday.
He further added that if you were called
on and not prepared the whole class would
receive a 0 and, obviously, it would be
your fault, Melby recalled. Well,
Monday came all too quickly and you
guessed it, no one was ready to give a
report. Coach hopefully asked for the second time if anyone was prepared; the
silence was deafening. All of a sudden
Murray Abraham jumped up and became
our instant hero. Ahhhh Syria, he proclaimed. For the rest of the class period
Murray passionately and dramatically
talked about his beloved Syria his heritage. Not only did he save the looming
0s but he gave one of the most memorable soliloquies in modern history.
Years later, F. Murray Abraham, was
nominated for Oscars Best Actor for his
role as Salieri in Amadeus.
The year was 1984, and as Oscar night
approached a group of us who had been
privileged to witness that Civics class sent
a wire to Murray at his hotel in Beverly
Hills with the message, Who ever
dreamed that the Ahhhh, Syria speech
would lead to this? Melby said. As you
are aware, Murray did win the Best Actor
Oscar that year and is a real EPHS treasure.
Mares said she is looking forward to
being able to share the traditions of El
Paso High School with visitors as well as
relive them with fellow Tigers.
I feel a special pride and honor to work
with all alumni to show our pride for The
Lady on The Hill. Mares said.

EPHS first of 3 schools built by Trost & Trost
ne of El Paso High Schools proudest

features is the school itself. The school
is one of Trost & Trosts most famous
buildings in the city, a Greco-Roman style
building that cost around $500,000 (more
than $11 million by todays standards).
Two other schools built by Trost & Trost
include Ysleta High School and Gadsden
High School.
Anna Mares of El Paso Alumni
Association Board of Directors said everything about the structure of El Paso Highs
original building could be listed as an
architectural marvel that works well with
of the desert regions environment
The placement and direction not only
captures the beauty of the Franklin mountains, the El Paso City Lights and the
Juarez Lights but was also situated to take
advantage of the afternoon shade, Mares
said. In the afternoon, three of the four
sides of the building are exposed to the
shade, keeping the students, faculty and
staff cooler.
Alumna Marilyn Moore Cromeans of the
Class of 1954 said there are so many
aspects of the building she loves.
Of course, the concrete football stadium
in front of the school. The marble dividers
in the girls bathroom. The auditorium.
The magnificent columns in the front of
the school, she said. I remember how far
it was to go from the girls locker room in
the basement to biology on the 4th floor in
the opposite wing of the building. You had
to be in pretty good shape to climb all

those stairs.
Mares said the stadium itself is often
shaded, in an effort to even keep daytime
events in the stadium more enjoyable.
To think, this building was designed and
built 100 years ago and she is still standing
tall, beautiful and magnificent, she said.
Former faculty member Lee Schwartz,
one of four generations to attend the
school, said no expense was spared in
planning and building what is known
affectionately as The Lady on the Hill,
which is still evident 100 years later.
The incredible stadium with its marble
steps leading up to the portico and outstretched arms embracing the city are
unique and awesome, Schwartz said. I
have spent over 90,000 hours in the building. A sense of peace and quiet and near
holiness always envelops me when I enter.
Even the divider walls in the girls bathroom stalls are marble.
Schwartz said she still feels El Pasos
first high school is one of the most beautiful in the nation.
I have traveled all over the western
United States and Alaska as an educational
consultant, she said. I have seen some
pretty spectacular buildings. None can
hold a candle to El Paso High School.
This summer, El Paso High was ranked
the No. 10 high school campus in the
country by LawnStarter, a landscaping
company based in Austin.

September 2016
1920s saw many more high schools built in El Paso

E
l Paso High School stood as the citys

only public high school for nearly 10
years, but soon a new batch of high
schools emerged, including Austin High
School, El Paso Highs oldest rival, along
with high schools such as Bowie and
Ysleta, and its first New Mexico neighbor,
Gadsden High School.
There are also several private schools that
have historic significance in the city as
well, which include Radford School and
Lydia Patterson Institute, which actually
predate El Paso High School by six years
and three years respectively, as well as
Loretto High School built in 1923 followed closely by Cathedral High School
built in 1925.
As far as El Pasos oldest continually
operating school? That honor goes to
Alamo Elementary, which was built in
1899.
Austin High School
Stephen F. Austin High School was built

in 1929, and welcomed its first students in
1930. The school was designed by Texas
contractor and architect Robert E. McKee.
McKee built a large percentage of El
Pasos offices, banks, schools, churches,
military buildings and even some of the
facilities at University of Texas as El Paso.
The schools distinct Spanish classic architecture design includes its recognizable
domed tower.
According to the Texas State Historical
Associations Handbook of Texas, McKee
was known as a liberal donor to many
projects, and his firm was soon one of
largest individually owned contracting
firms in the country by 1950.
His growth and success were directly
related to his philosophy of giving his personal attention to detail, his high regard for
employees as individuals, and a demand
for work of the highest quality, the handbook read.
This attention to giving included Austin
High School. When the district ran out of
money during its construction, McKee
stepped in to donate the remainder of the
September 2016
funding himself. The schools stadium is

named in McKees in honor of his work
and philanthropy.
El Paso High Alumna Marilyn Moore
Cromeans said El Paso Highs athletic
rivalry with Austin had many of its own
traditions, some of which, in addition to
the battle for the Claw, both Austin and El
Paso High shared.
The pep rallies before the Austin High
football game, were broadcast on the
radio; no TV at that time. Each school had
equal time to do our cheers, she recalled.
We also had a parade downtown in which
both schools participated. We had to play
all of our home basketball games in the
Austin gym. They had the gym, and we
had the auditorium. Good sportsmanship
was very important. When the opposing
team shot a free throw, the gym was silent.
Imagine that now.
Both El Paso High and Austin share
another feature: real taxidermy statues of
their mascots.
Austins golden panther is named Elroy
after much loved Austin creative writing
teacher and well known Texas author
Elroy Bode. The panther was originally
donated in 1998, but when it was learned
the hunter who pursued the panther illegally use a spotlight to do so, Elroy (the panther, not the teacher), was seized by the
United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Once the legal issues had passed in 2002,
the Austin Alumni Association once more
presented the panther to the school. Elroy
still resides in the lobby.
Bowie High School
Bowie High Schools original building

was actually built prior to Austin, as a way
to relieve overcrowding at El Paso High,
but its original building in Segundo Barrio
is now home to Guillen Middle School.
The high school was founded in 1927,
although the Guillen Middle School site
lists the original buildings initial construction was in 1922.
The schools current location is the result
of the Chamizal Treaty, which settled the
boundary dispute between Mexico and the

United States. The building, which opened
in 1973, is located adjacent to the
Chamizal National Memorial, and sits on
what was once Mexican territory.
El Paso historian and Bowie alumnus
Fred Morales recently published a 400page history on the original building, via
his book The History of Bowie High
School 1922-1973.
Ysleta High School
Ysleta High School, built in 1927, is the

first school high school for the Ysleta
Independent School District. Designed by
Trost & Trost, the Lower Valley school has
also gained historic landmark status.
Although the high school was built more
than 10 years after El Paso High, the
Ysleta District itself celebrated its
Centennial in 2015. The district came into
being as the result of a $17,000 bond
approved by the community to build an
elementary school on Alameda. Last year
the district welcomed former students and
community members to share their memories of the district for a special photo
gallery and historic memories page on the
districts website.
These district memories ranged from lifechanging events like students getting the
chance to meet and talk with famed labor
leader and civil rights activist Cesar
Chavez, to much sillier recollections of
performing All in The Family in Latin in
what was then Bassett Center.
My favorite part was the tradition of
Ysleta High School, alumnus Michelle
Chaparro of the class of 2004 wrote. The
sound of the drum corps at pep rallies, the
Indian riding on a horse, the faculty and
alumni on their feet celebrating a great
school.
Sanchez, the schools Old English building, the oldest building on campus, was
completed in 1928, the same year the
school opened as part of what is now the
Gadsden Independent School District next
door to El Paso in New Mexico.
He explained that the building, a twostory t-shape, was designed with the
Classical Revival features popular in the
United States at the time. It is listed both
as a historic property as well as a New
Mexico Cultural property.
This building stands out as it is the first
building you see driving into the school,
and still holds the previous school name
engraved at the front of the School, Valley
High School, he said.
Today, the schools faculty and students
are still proud of this historic building.
A slogan used by current and former
students from Gadsden High School is
Gadsden High School The Pride of the
Valley, Gadsden history teacher Meme
Buriaga said. This slogan is used by
many organizations and sports on campus.
Its also posted on every classroom on the
Vision and Mission poster (administrator
Hector) Giron purchased for all classrooms.
Sanchez said the schools outlying location often results in less media recognition
of Gadsden schools academic and
extracurricular achievements compared to
what some larger Las Cruces area schools
get. However, the students dont let this
dampen their school pride, through events
like the annual homecoming bonfire and
end of year senior caravan.
Gadsden instructional specialist Jessica
Schaid said the pride expands throughout
the community, as she always hears the
phrase, once a Panther, always a Panther
from staff, students and alumni.
My friend Frank, a GHS graduate from
the 1940s would make comments about
GHS and being a panther, she said. Ive
seen this comment on Facebook from the
class of 2014 as well. Seems to be a universal theme.
Gadsden High School
Gadsden High School also features a

prominent example of Trosts work.
According to Gadsden spokesman Rigo

Marie Otero Salon
Local: Foreigner crosses the

border to New Mexico
Its time for a flashback no, you hippies,

not the acid-induced kind, just a trip back to
the late 70s and early 80s with arena rock
at the pinnacle of success. FM radio was
churning out hits by Journey, REO
Speedwagon, Styx and Foreigner. This is
about the band that always seemed to be concerned about our temperature, debuting with
Cold as Ice and following it up on the next
album with Hot Blooded. Foreigner will be
at Inn of the Mountain Gods Sept. 2. They
formed in 1976 and in just one year they
became a household name. The group has
gone through numerous line-up changes, and
the newest incarnation features Mick Jones
as the only original member. The current
lineup has been in place for a little while and
has been doing their music justice on the
road. Their latest disc, In concert:
Unplugged, is a testament to that. Make
sure there is enough fluid in those lighters
because there will plenty of occasions to
have them floating up high in the air.
National: Rich Robinson,

Flux, Eagle Records
It has been well over a decade since the

Black Crowes abruptly went their separate
ways after 20 years together. After about four
years the constant bickering of brothers/leaders Chris and Rich Robinson seemed to subside, so they reassembled for a pair of amazing new discs and a few collections to finish
things out. Then the inevitable happened
again and the boys split for an indefinite hiatus. Whatever the reason for this tumultuous
relationship, not all is lost: Out of one
incredible band came two great solo musicians. With that said, with every release its
more apparent that the younger sibling in the
flock is making better music than his elder.
Rich Robinson has just graced us with his
fourth proper release. He is handling both
vocals and guitar as he had done before and
may cause some to rethink what side of the
Robinson fence theyre on. Flux has combined the late-career jamming tendencies of
his original band, while still finding occasion
to put the pedal to the floor, and all the while
doing it with unmistakable Southern style.
Many tracks would fit nicely in the Crowes
nest catalogue, which has me wondering if
some of these were dusted off the cutting
room floor. Whatever the case may be, there
is no way that I am in flux when it comes to
the undeniable greatness of Rich Robinson.
Tragically Hip, Man Machine

Poem, Universal Music
Canada
Canadas favorite sons come back for what

in all likelihood will be a final lap.
Unfortunately, lead singer/songwriter Gordon
Downie was diagnosed with terminal brain
cancer in May. The latest album Man
Machine Poem, is named after a track from
their previous release. Although this was
written before his fate was established, a
somber weight is felt in a greater portion of
the cuts than normal. Right out of the gate
the track Man has a spaced-out, ambient
feel that makes it evident this is going to be a
somewhat different Tragically Hip disc. They
do manage a 180-degree turn on the next
song, the classical overly wordy title In a
World Possessed by the Human Mind.
Midway through we are treated to Here, In
the Dark, which can easily be categorized
as a career highlight. Soon after that is
Tired As F, which in retrospect may
actually be more of a physical than emotional statement. If this is indeed the Hips last
rodeo, it is a fantastic representation from
one of the best to ever grace the land, and
thats not just the Great White North.

D Generation, Nothing Is
Anywhere, D Generation
Guns N Roses waited 15 years between

releases simply to disappoint us with new
material and only one original member in the
band. Boston notoriously delayed their third
disc by eight years. The Cult shared the same
gap as Boston and delivered a sensational
CD. The latest to come back from a serious
delay is D Generation. At a few moons short
of two decades these guys are finally ready
to let us hear their senior effort. Nothing Is
Anywhere is the newest. If you are wondering was it worth the wait, the resounding
answer is 100 percent yes. If you also wonder why so long, that will just remain a mystery. Leader Jesse Malin has been kicking
around the Alt. Country/Americana circuit
ever since he left the gang, even striking up a
kinship with that genres poster boy, Ryan
Adams, but on every LP he would squeak in
a cut or two that would expose his punk
roots. Its obvious that he was simply a dormant punk volcano because this is exceptional. It erupts with track one and doesnt stop
spewing brilliance; each and every track is
worth the price of admission. I realize 2016
isnt done but weve got a serious contender
for album of the year, because Nothing is
Anywhere and D Generation is everything
we need, and it should be everywhere.

Collectibles: John Mellencamp,

The Vinyl Collection 19821989, Mercury/Ume
This section of the column is morphing into

the break the bank, do I really need it, head
scratching, colossal vinyl reissue set report.
Mercury/Ume has got a new one for us and
if you grew up in the 80s and couldnt live
without heartland/Americana rock, this one
will reel you right in. Hes lasted four
decades in the music business, not bad from
a small-town kid from Seymour, Ind. He
started as Johnny Cougar, then became a
mouthful as John Cougar Mellencamp, and is
now simply John Mellencamp. The new box
takes us not only through his biggest commercial releases, but also up to the very last
disc to bare the extended name. The collection includes his five seminal albums:
American Fool, Uh-Huh, Scarecrow,
The Lonesome Jubilee and Big Daddy.
Although there are no bonus tracks to be
had, the platters are all cut from their original
analog master tapes and pressed on 180-gram
wax for optimal sound. The hits this box
boasts are staggering. Be sure to check out
Play Guitar from 1983, or Minutes To
Memories from 1985. Then start The
Lonesome Jubilee with the first cut and
only get up to flip the record, because not a
single track can be skipped on that one. It
doesnt really matter what version of his
name you know him by, the only thing thats
important is you know his music.

Romney shares, One of my primary
efforts being a new director is to focus on
development and marketing over the next
12 to 24 months. We are already very
busy. Our current exhibition is Gift of the
Spider Woman: The weaving tradition of
the Dine, which celebrates the rich history and diversity of Navajo weaving.
Plans are also in the works for exhibitions that will open in December and then
February 2017, and my staff and I are
working out programs for lectures, classes
and summer camps. Also, the city has
plans to construct a new gazebo type shelter on the grounds so a lot will be happening out at the museum in the coming year.

conjunction with the production and placement of John Housers monumental sized
sculpture, Benito Juarez From Child To
Man.
The statue by co-sculptors John Houser
and his son Ethan will feature life-sized
figures of Jurez as President of Mexico
along with a younger version of himself.
The president is seated on a bench within
the patio of his El Paso del Norte headquarters. Little Benito, a 12-year-old
Zapotec boy from Oaxaca, is seated at the
other end of the bench, gazing in the direction of the future president. He holds a
book that inspires him to learn to read and
write.
Siting the sculpture at the entrance to the
Chamizal National Memorial Visitor
Center was deemed to be most appropriate
in light of Juarezs admiration and identification with American President Abraham
Lincoln. Now that site placement has been
confirmed, the committee is involved with
public education and fundraising events.

James Drake brings magnum

opus exhibit to former home
ollowing an extended absence from

the local exhibition scene, internationally acclaimed draftsman and
sculptor James Drake returns to the El
Paso Museum of Art with a spectacular
new offering entitled, Anatomy of
Drawing and Space (Brain Trash). The
exhibition, which opens Sept. 28, was initially curated by the Museum of
Contemporary Art in La Jolla, Cal. From
there, it traveled to the Blanton Museum of
Art at the University of Texas at Austin
and the Lannan Foundation in Santa Fe
before coming to El Paso.
EPMA Senior Curator Patrick Shaw
Cable relates that once the museum
learned of this prestigious exhibition there
was a high interest in adding it to the
museums exhibition schedule.
It is a recent body of work in fact, a
magnum opus created by a significant
artist who has important El Paso roots.
Drakes family had a business here, and
James worked out of studio space here in
El Paso for a number of years before moving to Santa Fe, Cable explained. The
EPMA has a good selection of his work in
our permanent collection so we thought it
was a good time to showcase the work of a
native artist who has become quite successful.
Drake himself enthuses, It is great to be
back in El Paso. Even though I have not
shown my work here for a while, I still
consider this home.
A departure from former exhibits that
combined Drakes evocative sculptures
with drawings and/or poetry, Anatomy of
Drawing and Space gives visual authentication to an intense inner examination on
the part of the artist. Eclectic in nature and
created over a period of 30 months, the
drawings depict wild animals, landscapes,
studies of the human anatomy, scientific
formulas, representations of classical art
and even family photographs.
The Blanton Museum noted, Together,
they comprise a monumental installation
revealing his most enduring preoccupations and references from communication and culture to violence and addiction.
The concept for exhibition began when
Drake committed himself to creating at
least one drawing on a daily basis.
My initial intention was to produce a
drawing a day, but sometimes I actually
did six or seven. During the 2 1/2 years it
took me to complete the project, I created
1,242 drawings, which averaged out to
approximately three drawings per day.
Although they differed in medium and
inspiration, all were produced on 19 x
24 sheets of paper such as velum or cotton arches watercolor paper. The artist
describes this as simply one piece of artwork created over a period of 30 months.
Drake divided the works into a series of
10 chapters.
The drawings were created consecutively so one follows another. Informed by the
subject, I varied my medium using charcoal, pen and ink, and graphite pencil,
even including some collages anything
which you would associate with the genre
of drawing. While there is no overall
theme, each chapter has its own narrative.
The entire concept is really a stream of

Trash), Chapter 1 detail, by James Drake.
consciousness sometimes the drawing

that preceded it would inform the next, at
other times I had no idea what I would do
next.
Cable related that the EPMA will show 9
of the 10 chapters 1,000 drawings in all.
This collection almost becomes a retrospective of his artistic career in terms of
imagery and different techniques and
styles. Some things are poetic, with some
he uses text and there are some scientific
parts. He had an MRI scan taken of his
brain, the imagery from which inspired his
drawings. He told his doctor that it would
be interesting to see what my mind can
draw literally. Because the MRI was not
run for medical reasons, the doctor could
not use his name on the report so he told
him he would simply label it Brain
Trash. James liked the idea so that became
the title.
Cable added, Because this is really a
monumental work, the artist is very particular about the hanging. He has little paper
hinges on each sheet that interconnect. He
starts at the top and then uses a vertical
and horizontal laser level to make certain
they will be straight.
Although Drake is known for his sculptures, and still continues to show his work
in museum and gallery exhibitions (he was
recently a guest artist at Pilchuck Glass
School in Seattle), he remains captivated
by his current endeavor.
Drawing has been my primarily focus
for nearly five years, and I am now up to
over 1,600 images. I still work seven days
a week, almost more than I did years ago,
but it is nice not to have the pressure of
deadlines.
In this regard, Anatomy of Drawing is
a rare opportunity for viewers to actually
experience a monumental work in progress
as Drake plans on expanding his collection.
My background is actually in anthropology. I earned my bachelors degree in

anthropology at Brigham Young
University. My focus was on the
Southwest and its native peoples so for me
this position is actually like coming home.
While at BYU, Romney worked with the

universitys Museum of Peoples and
Cultures collection of Casas Grandes
ceramics, which he identified and catalogued. Following graduation, he was
hired as a museum specialist at Wheeler
Historic Farm in Salt Lake City, where he
oversaw the museums curatorial, registration, education and development programs,
supervising a staff of up to 50, including
tour guides, docents and teachers. He
wrote the museums first tour guide manual and collection care and management
policies manual. While there, he also
curated Living from the Land: Legacy of
a Past Era, which opened in March 1996
in conjunction with the State of Utahs
sesquicentennial celebrations. The unique
exhibition received special commendation

Longley, Hardin: Taking a Look Back

destined for infamy
by John McVey Middagh
wo deadly gunmen, both born in

East Texas in the decade before
the Civil War, each killed an
extraordinary number of men before they
themselves were dead. Both traveled to
the far reaches of the country to avoid
being caught. John Wesley Hardin
wound up in El Paso, to be gunned
down, some say murdered, in 1895 by
another gunman, John Selman.
The other, Bill Longley, was captured
in 1875 and brought back to within miles
of his home to be hung. It took two different attempts to hang Wild Bill
Longley before he was pronounced dead.
A mountain of material and myth has
been written about Hardin and his deadly
deeds across Texas. It is said he killed 41
men before being gunned down here in
El Paso and buried in our Concordia
Cemetery. Longley, the other bad guy in
my story, reportedly killed 31 men.
Both were convicted of murder when
they were in their 20s. Hardin got 25
years for killing a deputy sheriff, while
Longley was given the death penalty for
gunning down a childhood friend.
Dont you think it is a one-sided thing
to kill me for my sins and only give
Hardin 25 years in prison?, Longley
protested after being sentenced to hang.
According to Hardins autobiography,
published after his death, the two met in
Evergreen, Texas, back when Hardin
was about 17, and Longley was just a
couple of years older. Other historians
dispute that encounter as a bit of fiction
concocted by Hardin. But at least Hardin
gave some idea of his view of what such
an encounter might have been like.
So based on Hardins account and other
embellishments as the legend grew, the
meeting went something like this:
Longley heard that Hardin was visiting
and didnt like that he was getting so
much attention. It was Hardins big reputation at such a young age that riled
Longley.
So when one of Longleys men came
running in with the news that Hardin
was playing cards at the livery stable,
Longley finished rolling his cigarette,
then told the fellows standing around
that theyd go pay Hardin a visit. Once
there a friend of Longleys, Ben Hinds,
sat in on the game immediately losing
big to Hardin. When Hardin got up to
pull out of the game Hinds said, Wait a
minute, no one leaves a game after winning a big pot without giving the others
a chance of winning their money back.
Sit your ass back down.
Hardin replied, Well maybe if youd
of sat in a little sooner, youd have
cleaned me out. But we aint never
going to know because that aint what
happened.
Old Ben pushed the table back screaming, Dont you smart-mouth me, damn
you. The next thing people saw was
Hardin pointing a pistol right at Bens
head. Quickest draw they had ever seen.
Then Wesley pulled his other gun with
his left hand to cover the rest of the
crowed standing around, saying Wait, I
came here to meet Bill Longley because
Page 36
El Paso Scene
J.W. Hardin
Bill Longley
I heard he was a true son of the

Confederacy and the enemy of every
damn carpetbagger in Texas.
Then the crowd parted and there stood
Longley facing Hardin, hands down low
next to his pistols.
Im Longley and I dont know how
much I want to meet someone comes
lookin for me with pistols drawn.
Hardin said, I dont like a man who
has to have all his gun totin friends
watchin out for him.
Longley then told all his friends, You
boys leave this man alone.
That satisfied Hardin.
Something else, Hardin, I dont like a
spy coming to my town for that no good
State Policeman McAnally.
Wait, Hardin said, Im no spy and if
you want a fight you just say so, you
dont have to spread no lie about me.
Stop, I see I was wrong in calling you
a spy, and Im man enough to admit it,
but if you still want a fight just go for
it. Longley said, relaxing a bit.
Hardin replied, No, Im mistaken too,
forgetting my good manners, coming
into another mans town to make his
acquaintance and letting a no-account
braggart egg me into a fight.
They both relaxed with Longley telling
Hardin, I hear you like a card game.
They both walked off grinning.
Lots of people standing around let out a
sigh of relief, but some were disappointed too, maybe hoping to see two of the
roughest gunman go at each other.
Twenty minutes later the two of them
were drinking and playing poker together down the street. Hardin winning big
and Langley admitting Hardin was the
luckiest hed ever seen. They quit playing to go eat and do some more drinking. Before the night was over Longley
invited John Wesley to join him at the
horse races the next day.
They met the next morning at the track
and damned if Wesley didnt win most
of the races he wagered on. He was the
luckiest man at cards and horses one had
ever seen.
Hardin left town. They hung Bill
Longley eight years later in Giddings,
Texas, on Oct. 11, 1878. He was only 27
years old; it took him 11 minutes to die.
He was walked up the gallows smoking
a cigar. The noose was put around his
neck, the floor fell away only to see the
rope slip with Bill landing on his feet
straight up. The jailer yelled, Get him
back up there and do it right this time.
They did.

Swit always loves

the roles she in
By Carol Viescas
Loretta Swit has never worked a day in her

life. Thats because she truly believes what
Confucius once said: Choose a job you
love, and you will never have to work a
day in your life.
She tackles all her loves with such unbridled enthusiasm; she truly never thinks of
anything she does as work. Its all been
one big holiday.
My life is a vacation, she said in a telephone interview. There is no better way
to relax than do what you love.
First, of course, is her award-winning
acting career. Shes done it all, from
Broadway to TV to movies. And shes
enjoyed every minute of it.
She started in theater, moved to television and movies, then back to theater.
Along the way she
earned two Emmys
(for M*A*S*H), a
Peoples Choice
award, the Sarah
Siddons award, and
dozens of others.
She claimed to have
no favorite when it
comes to roles.
Loretta Swit
Im fickle, she
said, laughing. I am devoted and in love
with the piece I am doing at the moment.
She then starts a long list: When Im
doing Shirley Valentine, thats my
favorite. Its one of the best shows written
for an actor. In Doubt I am enamored of
this nun (Sister Aloysius) and what she is
trying to do. Mame and Shirley
Valentine, and Eleanor (Roosevelt) have
become signature pieces for me.
And she cant forget her 1975 Broadway
debut as Doris in Same Time, Next Year.
I aged five years in every scene. It was
joyous and wonderful to begin as a young
bride and end at 65. That was, at the time,
the most wonderful experience for me to
have.
Her role in Me & Jezebel for LCCT in
Las Cruces, she said, will be another experience: Most of the time, it is me talking
to the audience. Its a real acting challenge.
But the two things shes most excited
about currently have little to do with her
acting career. They have to do with her
other loves animal activism and art.
Next month, a book of her animal art,
SWITheART, will be published, with 50
paintings of animals she has created.
Its a friendly, non-technical book, Swit
said. Ive written blurbs for each painting.
Im thrilled with how the book is looking.
Proceeds from the book and sales of the
art featured in the book will go to some of
the many animals groups she supports.
This is my other career, if you will.
She pushes for people to spay and neuter
their pets: The first time I read statistics,
I thought it was a typo. In a couple of
years, one unspayed animal can lead to
70,000 animals. Some of the groups she
works for include Farm Sanctuary, Wildlife
Waystation, Bidawee (the oldest rescue in
Manhattan), Pets for Vets, and Actors and
Others for Animals, which she serves as
first vice president.
This December, Actors and Others will
honor her with its Betty White Award. The
award was named for its first honoree, the
Page 38
actress who is also a long-time animal

activist and a good friend of Swits.
If I phone her and ask her to be someplace, and it is for animals, shell be
there, Swit said. She and White once
spoke before a federal committee that was
trying to rule on how many animals the
elderly could take with them when they
were relocated to elderly housing.
There was a motion that they could not
take any. Betty and I were like, Are you

kidding? You cant take away a 14-yearold cat giving a woman the only drop of
love the woman gets.
By the time the two finished testifying,
the committee decided the elderly could
keep up to three pets.
Swits passion spills into everything she
does animals, art, and acting. It explains
why she still gets so energized when she
LCCT actor teams up with Loretta Swit

as Cruces Community Theater,
this is George speaking. How may
I help you?
George is actually actor Norman
Duttweiler, who adopts his George persona when he takes his turn handling box
office duties for LCCT. Its obvious he
loves his craft and loves creating characters, even as a theaters box office manager. He will sink his teeth into quite a
different role opposite star and long-time
friend Loretta Swit in Me & Jezebel, a
fund-raiser for the theater.
Swit is best known as Hot Lips
Houlihan on the TV show M*A*S*H,
for which she won two Emmys.
We go way back, Swit said. Back to
when they (Duttweiler and Ron Nash,
Duttweilers husband and the shows
producer) ran the playhouse in
Forestburgh (a professional theater in the
Catskills of New York state). I knew
Ron even before then. Hes worn every
hat to take care of me and my tours. Hes
been director, producer, stage manager,
and even choreographer if necessary. I
adore them both.
Duttweiler produced professional
Equity shows for 23 years at Forestburgh, the oldest professional summer
theater in New York state. Hee also performed in Oh, Calcutta on Broadway.
Duttweiler has performed with Swit
before and said he is looking forward to
this collaboration.
Loretta has been interested in this
show as a vehicle for her and wanted to
check it out. But she hadnt had the
opportunity. Last spring when we
thought we might lose the theater (until a
civic-minded investor bought the build-
Norman Dutweiler and Loretta Swit
ing and agreed to rent it back to LCCT

for a reasonable amount), Ron called
Loretta and said we needed to do a benefit. She said yes right away. Shes very
generous that way. Trying to figure out
what to do, we thought, why dont we try
this play?
Even though the playhouse has been
saved, it still needs a lot of work. Its
light and sound system is ancient and
needs replacing. Its hoped the funds
raised from Me & Jezebel might correct that problem.
The show tells the true story of when
Bette Davis stayed a month with writer
Elizabeth Fuller.
Fuller had a friend who was friends
with Bette Davis after she was no
longer a major movie star, Duttweiler
said. She was living in New York in a
hotel. The friend asked if she could bring
a friend to dinner and the friend was
Bette Davis. Next thing she knows,
theres a hotel strike. Bette cant go back
to New York. No workers. Davis calls up
Elizabeth Fuller and asks, Can I stay for
a night or two? Thrilled, Fuller said,
El Paso Scene
performs on stage, and why it should be a

treat for the audiences who will see her in
Me & Jezebel. It simply is what she is.
She loves to perform.
Why would I stop doing something I
love? I cant wrap my brain around a life
not doing this, Swit said. I can keep
doing this until I break my mothers record
(of living to 106). As long as they want me
out there, Im there.
Sure, come on. Thirty days later Bette

Davis finally leaves after taking over her
life for a month.
Swit plays the author, plus all the other
small characters that come in and out of
the show. Duttweiler plays Jezebel
Bette Davis in drag.
Duttweiler and Swit have been discussing characters long distance until she
comes into Las Cruces Sept. 1 to start
rehearsal. Nash will supervise the production and Robert Bobcat Young will
design Bette Davis costumes. Since both
Duttweiler and Swit are Equity actors,
they have received permission to perform without standard fees. Both are
donating their time.
And both of them cant wait until they
are together again to dig into the characters and the show.
Its a wonderful marriage for us to
work together again, Swit said, and do
a lot of good for a lovely theater.

community theater and teaches
