TURNING THE CLOCK BACK PEOPLE,
PLACES.
and
POLITICS
by John E. Jacob
New Federalism is
such a nice sounding
phrase It is a shame to
point out that It Is just a
public relations term
for the old, long
discredited idea of
states' rights.
The President, in his
State of the Union ad•
dress, went whole hog
for his "New
Federalism" stopping
just short of making it
seem a panacea for
what alls America.
It is nothing of the
sort. Rather, the New
Fed er al i s m is a
prescription for inflicting
further misery on
the poor and for
splintering what ought
to be a national concern
with national
issues.
It all reminds me of
the tale of the emperor
who had no clothes. All

THE USES AND ABUSES
OF ANTI-COMMUNISM By Bayard Rustin
The South African
government has proposed
substantial new
curbs against jour•
nalists, both white and
black, in that country.
These curbs revolve
around the establishment
of a government

body which would have
the power to lie nse all
journalists and to ban
them from writing art
cles for South African
periodicals. South
African officials claim
• tha uch a step is
necessary to counter
the threat of a "Soviet
•disinformation" campaign
aimed at the
"political and moral
subversion of the
white man."
These proposed
restrictions upon press
freedom in South Africa
are not merely unjust
and duplicitous; they
on the press. The Cape
Times declared that if
the proposal is passed
by the South African
Parliament "there will
no longer be a free
press in South Africa."

STATEMENT TO
SCHOOL BOARD FROM
TRUSTEE BREWSTER
On November 2, 1981, by majority votes, this
Clark County School District Board of Trustees
voted to support a nationwide search for the
best qualified candidate for the Superintendent
of our school district. As elected officials, we
were committed to initiate a fair and equitable
selection process. Our boys and girls deserve
nothing less.
During the past few weeks It appears that
several of my fellow board members, as well as
myself, have been challenged as the to integrity
of our intent to complete a legitimate nation•
wide search and selection process. People in
our community appear to feel that the thousands
of taxpayer dollars we have allocated for this
process is a scam.
Fellow board members, our individual integrl•
ty and credibility Is at stake. At this time we
must reassure the public that a Superintendent
has not been secretly identified; that deals have
not been made; that verbal commitments from
board members have not been secured.
I am wllllng to reaffirm my commitment to a
nation-wide search ending on February 16, 1982
and reassure the community that I am not
beholden to any local candidate. I feel confident
that each of you wlll want to reassure our public
at this time, as I have.

CHILDREN
This pretty elevenyear-
old black girl is
Sonya. She is in need of
a very unique family, for
Sonya is a child who re•
quires special care.
While Sonya is a
generous and loving
child, she functions in
the severe range of
mental retardation. She
attends a special
school and all her Instructors
report that
she Is attentive In what
she does. Sonya can
speak when she wants
to and is able to feed,
dress and groom
herself. She requires
minimum to maximum
supervision, depending
on the task she is
engaged in.
Sonya is attractive
and physically healthy.
She has some nears
I g ht e d n es s and
astigmatism, but does
not require glasses.
Sonya is a loner and
has a tendency to shy
away from others. She
is cooperative with her
elders and peers. It is
believed she should do
well in an adoptive
home with young
parents. Single parents
will be considered.
Much of Sonya's
future potential can not
be currently determin•
ed, but a loving and
secure family of her
very own would greatly
increase Sonya's
chances for improved
functioning and happiness
in the years
to come.

DREAM GIRLS BATTLE
CRITICAL NIGHTMARE
NEW YORK CITY -
Dream Girls, which
. stood the critics on
their adjectives in
Boston danced into a
tougher write hand with
it's opening on Broad•
way, just before
Christmas. Despite the
tempo of the season, it
got no critical peace,
nor printed goodwill
towards its spotlighted
action. The old line first
night critics literally
nailed this Michael
Bennet ~ production to
the cross. However,
without seeing it, and
after reading the accolades
heaped upon it
during its on the road
run in Boston, this
scribe felt strange that
there could be such a
reversal of opinion in
the New York corridor
of the Eastern
Seaboard. Perhaps the
generation gap grabbed
the old line critics
who are bogged down
by their self•made
criteria of what should
be on the Broadway
stage and to whom
changes come so hard
and are unacceptable.
So rather than get
caught upon that age
trap I sent my young
thinking special asst.,
Nancy Hite, to the battlement,
and as expected
her enthusiasm
belied all the
negativism of the daily
print and electronic
critics. It is interesting
what she had to say
and I quote: "The cast
is so talented and attractive
that they could
just stand on the stage
and get applause, but
they don't just stand,
they work, and because
they work this show
should remain on
Broadway for a long

That's what the 1950's
were. Halfway through

Phenomena of pulling
on a small silver chain,
hanging from the
center of the ceiling,
and illuminating an entire

But, in half a century,
people got used to
those changes. · Those
technologies which
had been so perplexing
were finally either
understood or just
taken for granted.
By the time we arrived
at mid-century,
Americans were fairly
sophisticated. So much
technology had been
developed that there
were hardly any frontiers
left to be curious
about. But, like most
events, "by the time
you get to the end, the
end has moved again."

They did anything they
wanted to - the sky
was the limit. Black
people had not done so
before but they were
deciding, in ever increasing
numbers, that
they had nothing to
lose. They were going
to "risk it out" and if
that meant getting their
tickets punched, then

Gordon Jenkins sang, it
would just have to be
"Goodnight Irene". But,
if they attacked the problem
seriously, it would
be "Good-night Mrs.
Calabash, wherever
you are", to
segregation.
The 1950s were terrible
times for Black people.
A spectre of fear
seemed to prevail all
over. At a time when we
should have been
marveling at the
technological ad·
vancements being
made, we were being
forced to bear testa•
ment to the realization
that America's technology
had indeed
"outdistanced its moral
values".
In certain parts of the
country, Black people
nolongersatoutonthe
front porch of an even•
ing and the lights in
the front rooms were
never on. We trained
our ears to recognize
familiar sounding cars
and those which were
not, when they would
pass our homes, would
be investigated.
"Did you hear about
what happened in
Mound Bayou?" "Ain't
that a shame?"
"What's that bright
light over there in the
sky?" "It look like its
down around that shop•
ping center over on
Pine Street". "Hey Pap.
Wt,at's that light over
there?" "That's Nosser
City. Somebody threw a
bomb on It".
That scenario was
repeated dozens of
times throughout the
country. Somewhere
else it might have been
about Little Rock, Anniston,
Tampa or
Bogalusa. In Las
Vegas, people were
probably trying to
figure out what hap•
pend to Nat King Cole
that mid-July night in
1958, when he was
severely beaten. Who
did it? Why? What are
the police doing about
It? Local Black people
heard about it and they
talked about it. The
mob mystique played a
role. Not only were they
concerned about the
usual group of psychos
who were biting at t &
bit to make an example
of any Black people
who " got out of line"
but they were also
aware of the extremes
that certain elements
within the gaming industry
would go to protect
their billion dollar
businesses from any attempts
by Black people
to become patrons. ..........................................:

majority of those held

were very few in the
secondary schools. In
those rare instances
Perhaps it was that
which happened to Mr.
Murray of the burned
out vehicle found In the
desert.
Not everyone was being
beaten or killed.
Most were simply In•
timidated. The
economic "billy club"
was held over their
heads. They were to
either play ball or lose
their jobs. The Average
Black Las Vegan was
only earning a third of
what the average white
worker was earning.
There were no Blacks in
management or any In
the "front of the house"
jobs in the hotel industry.
The only exception
to that rule was the
occasional Black
porter. For the most
part, they were maids
and groundsmen.
Within the Clark
County School District
there were but a few
Black teachers. The
where such existed, the
teachers were Isolated.
James Hunter, who
was the first Black
teacher at Western
High School, was the
recipient of more than
his share of harrass·
ment. After just six
months on the job, he
had to face twenty of
his fellow teachers who
would determine his
suitability for remain-
'ing there. I am certain
that he went into the
hearing convinced that
he would receive a fair
hearing. So much for
pipedreams.
The movement was
underway. It gained
momentum with each
event. Previously, those
events as they happen•
ed to Black people
around the country, had
been kept secret.
Everywhere, everyone
had believed that those
atrocities were only
happening to them. The
miracle of television
changed ail of that.
White local newspeople

to Cooney's left shoulder.
The official announcement was made in New
York and a new date will be set for the bout
which in all likelihood will be held in mid-May i~
Las Vegas.
The new date is contingent on the progress
Cooney makes in recovering from his injury. If
the injury has not healed within about two months
the bout could be set back even further.
"It's pretty bad", said a highly placed source
referring to Cooney's shoulder. '
The multi-million dollar fight, scheduled at
Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, was jeopardized
~ver the weekend when Cooney stopped training
rn New York because of the shoulder injury suffered
Jan. II in preparation for an exhibition
against Joe Bugner of Britain. That match was
canceled.

married J. David Hoggard,
Sr., a widower
with two sons.
During her twentyfive
years with the
District, Mabel Hoggard
taught at
Westside, Matt Kelly,
Higland and C.V.T.
Gilbert schools.
Hoggard was one of
the teachers to testify
in court supporting a n

school district. Eva
Simmons, now and ad•
minlstrator for the

Along with other

established In the
elementary schools.
In 1975 the Board of
School Trustees saw fit
to honor this pioneer
educator by changing
the name of the former
Bonanza Elementary
School to the Mabel
Hoggard School.
The number of
awards of which Mabel
Hoggard
has been the recipe attests
to the esteem in
which she is held by
her peers, former
students and the community
at large. The
capstone of these
recognitions was her
being chosen in 1977 by
the University of
Nevada, Las Vegas, as
one of the state's
Outstanding Citizens.
She received this great
honor along with
former Mayor Oran
Grayson and publisher
of the Las Vegas Sun,
Hank Greenspun.
After her retirement
in 1970, Mabel Hoggard
had been a volunteer
for many church, civic
and educational
endeavors. One of
these which she dearly
loved was working with
children and parents,
trying to teach them the
value of thrift by joining
the Westside Federal
Credit Union. Her suf•
faring a stroke in :::79
has forced a curtailment
of these activities.
In addition to all
members of her family
and particularly her
nine grandchildren, this
great teacher and
humanitarian lighted a
path for all Nevadans
to walk in and are
"proud that they did."
In addition to her
other experiences ,

because, as an integral
part of the growing and
the greening of Las
Vegas, Sinatra has
become the symbol, for
if what we sell as
"fabulous" Is, in fact,
really so, then, Sinatra
surely epitomizes It.
It Is simpler to explain
my personal reaction.
I am an unabased
Sinatra fan •· from the
earliest years when we
dubbed him the Crown
Prince during the
height of Bing Crosby's
illustrious reign.
Sinatra is an integral
part of my life -millions
of Sinatra fans know

years • can't afford him
since Corporate
America started mak•

what his music has
meant to me.
How do you evaluate
the contribution of an
artist who has brought
more pleasure to more
people over a more sustained
period of time
than any other? All I
can say Is that for many
many years, Sinatra
from Billy Holiday's
"You'd Better Go
Now."
Also, I like Sinatra's
style and even more,
his compassion for
people. There are
countless anecdotes
about Frank Sinatra's
concern for the less fortunate,
on a personal,
even a global basis. I
remember an occasion
(and this goes way
back) when there was
some much publicised
racial unrest in a
Chicago public school.
Sinatra flew to
Chicago, talked to the
youngsters and only
sermonised by singing
his then recenlty
recorded "The House I
Live In." That was all
that was needed to
defuse a highly volatlle
situation.
On another occasion,
some years later,
mv flrend Avanell Harris,
with whom I was
making my home, was
the victim of a burglary.
The thieves took the
record player, among
other loot, all my
Sinatra albums. I was
desolated. There was a

BLACK MUSLIM . EMPIRE TRACED
CHICAGO · He
called himself a prophet
and lived like a
king.
Dwelling in a
fortress-like mansion
and surrounded by
bodyguards, he held
the unswerving loyalty
of thousands - some of
whom, it was said,
would kill without
hesitation at his command.
Almost seven years
after his death, Elijah
Muhammad is again a
figure of controversy,
not because of the
Black Muslim sect he
built, but because of a
battle among his
children over the
millions he "massed in
its name.
At the center of the
dispute is the reputation
of Elijah Muhammad
- whether he was a
visionary black leader
or, as some contend, a
man who enriched
himself at the expense
of thousands of
, believers.
The battle has been
fought over the past
five months in a
Chicago courtroom by
lawyers for most of Elijah
Muhammad's 21
legitimate and illegitimate
children.
Their weapons are
records of a sprawling
financial empire valued
at as much as $25
million.
A Circuit Court judge
is expected to rule
Tuesday on the central
lawsuit. Lawyers for
the children who sued
say Herbert Muhammad,
administrator of
his father's estate, excluded
from the estate
property that should
have gone to Elijah
Muhammad's heirs.
Herbert and his
brother Wallace, who
succeeded their father
as leaders of the sect,
argue that Elijah
Muhammad kept his
personal property
separate from that of
the Nation of Islam,
and that the property in
question belongs to the
entire Muslim community,
now known as
the World Community
of Islam in the West.
The suit has revealed
some of the complex
financial dealings of
the secretive sect. But
the dispute is rooted in
the rise of the Black
Muslims, and of Elijah
Muhammad
Born Elijah Poole in
1897, he was the son of
a Georgia sharecropper
and Baptist preacher.
Like millions of blacks,
he migrated north during
the depression. In
Detroit he found odd
jobs • and a man who
said he was God.
The man was
Wallace Fard, and he
anointed Elijah Poole
as his prophet.
AME Churches Celebrate 'Founding
The African
Methodist Episcopal
Church was started in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
in 1787. Its
Founder was a twentys
even year old
"African" named
Richard Allen.
During the month of
February, A.M.E. Churches
throughout the fifty
United States of
America, the Dominion
of Canada, South
America, West Africa,
South Africa and the
West Indies will be
celebrating the founding
of the Church.
The First African
Methodist Episcopal
Church held the local
celebration at First
A.M.E. Church, 2450
Revere Street, North
Las Vegas, Nevada on
Sun., Feb. 14.
Highlights of the service
were the "Annual
Address" by Rev.
Marion Bennett, pastor
of Zion United
Methodist Church and
the "Emancipation Proclamation"
by Rev. Clifford
Alexander, pastor
of Cosmopolitan A.M.E.
Church. ABUSES------

and whites alike. But
the invocation of an
anti-Communist argument
by the South
African government is
both hypocritical and
deceitful. Anticommunism,
(the
legitimate opposition
to the establishment of
Leninist dictatorships
through the world) only
has meaning if it is linked
to a democratic and
racially just worldview.
The reason Western
trade unionists and
human rights advocates
are opposed to
Communism worldwide
is because they are
aware that Communist
regimes deny their
citizens the fundament
a I rights of free
association, free press,
and free speech. The recent
events in Poland
are perhaps the
clearest example of
this.
Democratic anti-
Communists have included
in their ranks
such illustrious figures
as civil rights leaders A.
Philip Randolph and
Roy Wilkins; trade
union leaders George
Meany and Lane
Kirkland; socialists and
social democrats such
as African leader
Leopold Senghor, Norm
an Thomas and
French President Francois
Mitterrand. All of
these public figures
have had a profound
committment to
democracy.
Each of them has
asserted that anti-
Communism has no
moral basis unless it is
linked to a ~trong commitment
to democratic
procedures and human
rights. The South
African government
can make no claims to
such a commitment. Its
history of rule is one of
tyranny against all
blacks and non-whites.
KEY
from page ~3
dienne Alec Lovejoy,
opened an entrepreneurial
venture called
"Alec Lovejoy and
his Big Leg Chicken."
Lovejoy considered
Sinatra over-rated. He
definitely was not a fan.
A "Sinatra Appreciation
Night" was planned
and the proprietor of
Backstage had the juke
box stacked with even
more Sinatra records.
Lovejoy was a willing
guinea pig. In less than
an hour of listening and
really hearing Sinatra,
Lovejoy became a con-
, vert. That "Sinatra Appreciate
Night", incidentally,
became a
weekly feature at the
Backstage.
The man and his
music is a constant
feature in my every day
life, and I am eternally
grateful for the unmitigated
pleasure his
music has afforded me.
And when I see his
name on the marquee
at Caesars I just feel
great that Sinatra is in
town.

Speaking of genuine
artistry, have you made
visiting the Raffles Bar

Dr. Kirk Stuart would

Making welfare a

means that poor people

depending on

strength of their state's

fairly with the poor.
Experience shows
the _states are likely to

That's an extraordinarily
insensitive way of
looking at things. The
mass black exodus northward
exemplified
people voting with their
feet to escape oppressive
local segregation
and imposed
poverty. But think of
the tremendous cost to
individuals and the nation
of that kind of
human and social
disruption.
The new states'
rights practically invites
states to export
their poverty by making
conditions so tough for
their poor that they'll
want to move
elsewhere. I can't see
our national government
adopting the sort
of caveman ethics that
allows this.
Federal assumption
of full costs of social
welfare programs
coupled with uniform
national entitlement
and benefit standards
would relieve states of
fiscal strains, rationalize
the inefficient
and wasteful
hodgepodge of current
programs, and deal fairly

HOW CHILDREN LEARN SAPSTY
Children learn safety
through the following means:
imitation, observation, association,
and experimentation graduating class on Sunday,
Things done automatically,
proper habits and skills are
built up through repetition,
motivation and intense action.
Children develop through
play. Safety patrolling can
be taught through games or
other playful activities.
Skill in these can be acquired
only through constant
repetition.
To get the best results in
the teaching of "safety" we
as teachers must build up th<
proper attitudes in our pupils.
We can appoint one of the
larger children of each family
or group tp keep strict
supervision over the smaller
ones on the way to and from
school. Children are anxious
to accomplish something
when they are made
responsible.

HISTORY OP STORER COLLEGE
RELATED BY ANDREW KING
Storer College began in
1S65, after the Civil War,
through the efforts of
Lincoln, Beckett and
Brackett, his cousin.
They were given the privilege
of using an old frame
building at Harper's Ferry
West Virginia. Beckett
and Brackett found the
white people principally
interested in Negro education.
The school students in
the beginning were practically
old men and women
who had been slaves. In
the beginning, Storer College
was merely a high
school. In 1367, John B,
Storer of Maine, donated
$10,000 to the college,
honco it got its namo
Storer College. The
churches, clubs and other
organizations became more
interested in the college
and began donating funds
toward this institution.
Institutions like Harvar
Yale, and Dartmouth sent
student teachers to Storer
to study the Ncgros' condition.
Storer has just
recently become a fourycar
college. Formerly
it gave the two—year norma
courso.
The college is 72 years
old. President McDonald
has been head of the institution
for thirty-nine
years.
There is a bit of
romance connected with
Storer College,
Literature is the thought
of thinking souls.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Rhythmical eye movements and fixations should be establish^
motor habits.
Increased perception span means fewer fixations per line anc
consequently more rapid reading.
Training in effective silent reading can only be accompli shit
directly — not through training in oral reading.
Some system of word analysis must be taught to children in ordl
that they may help themselves over confusion points in reading.
Greater progress is made by an individual when he recognizeUj
definitely the character of the desired improvement, and when Ik
able to measure his achievement.
.•Silent reading should supersede oral reading in a rapidly
increasing degree In the intermediate grades.
Reading in the intermediate grades should Include organized'
training to increase speed and insure greater comprehension in silc
reading.
Remedial measures must be applied in intermediate terades to
overcome special reading defects. The poor reader will not make suf*
ficient progress under general training alone.
- 1
The subject matter of reading must be vivid and concrete if
words are.to have meaninc.
y
The'intermediate pupil should have acquired a stock of interV
pertatiomnss and should use these for the ccoommoprreehheennssiinonn of unfamiliar
ideas, which are complexes built up of familiar ideas.
Periods of reading should be followed by periods of relaxation
or far work.
Reading poiitions must be carefully observed.
Ihe teacher must assume responsibility for securing proper
lighting and seating conditions in the schoolroom.'
Only text-books of the highest-possible mechanical perfection
should be selected.
Analytical work with words must not be begun too early or the
Uae ox tne speech mechanism, which should be automatic, becomes com
scious. 1
SCHOOLROOM PRACTICE
Much reading of easy material of an interesting and varied nature.
An increasingly larger amount of time devoted to silent reading.
Phonic analysis in primary grades; word study and word analysis
in intermediate grades.
The use of standardized and informal tests for individual diagnosis
and for the objective measurement of achievement.
Silent reading
a- Training for speed.
1- Practice under time pressure.
2- Decrease of vocalization.
3- Increase of perception span,
b- Training for comprehension
1- Reading to a problem-
2~ Selecting central thought.
3- Organizing ideas after reading,
4- Giving personal judgments.
Oral reading.
Motivated in the audience situation.
Grouping for remedial work.
Group I^Those who" read slowly but comprehendingly{speed)
Group II-Those who read rapidly but carelessly!analysis)
Group III-Those who read slowly and with little comprehension
(training of both kinds).
Group IV-Those who read rapidly and comprehendingly
(interesting silent reading,undirected)
Use of large reading units-- extensive reading to gather concrete
details about a central idea.
Reading between the li.nes--making personal applications
Play and handwork periods included within the school day.
Daily regulation of window-shades and artificial light.
Seat adjustment.
Instruction in the correct reading position.
Phonics not over-emphasized and delayed until child himself begins
to notice differences in word sounds.

CONCLUSIONS
Eye movements are not steadily Continuous in reading but consist
of a series of movements and fixation points.
Rate in reading is determined by the number and duration of the
fixations,
The number and average length'of the fixations are greater in
oral reading than in silent reading.
Individual studies of eye movements show regressive movements
at confusion points.
It is possible to test scientifically the reading ability of a
child in any grade and to compare his achievements with objective
standards.
Silent reading rate surpasses oral reading rate about the fourth
grade.
'High rate and good quality in silent reading are commonly related.
Ther e is great variation in reading ability among pupils of the
same grade.
There is an underlying feeling of meaning in itself in the reading
of any sentence.
The interpretation of a word or phrase depends upon the presence
of associated experience in the mind of the reader. There is little emphasis'
upon the picture in the mind and great emphasis upon personal
reaction.
Eye strain is closely related to nerve strain.
Myopia, the chief eye defect, is likely to be progressive In
youth and is incurable.
The amount of stuttering among children seems to be augmented
at the time when reading instruction . is begun.

MABEL HOGGARD MADE HER MARK IN HISTORY
Mabel Hoggard was born Mabel Welch on March 10, 1905, to
Mr. & Mrs. Marshall Welch in Pueblo, Colorado.
After elementary and high school in Iowa, she enrolled in the
University of Tennessee at Nashville, then known as Tennessee A & M,
where she completed the Normal Course for Teacher Training. Upon
graduation, she received the highest position offered the graduates--
a teaching principal ship in a two-room school in the coal fields of
Jenkins, Kentucky for $100 per month. While there, she married
Irving Wims and had one son, Charles I . Wims.
Three years later, the then Mrs. Wims and family moved to Williamson,
West Virginia. During this period she received her baccalaureate in
education doing graduate work in Chicago University, University of Utah,
and University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
This was the era of segregated schools and lily-white primaries.
When Mrs. Wims appeared to register to vote, a person was heard to say
he sure hoped they wouldn't take any more "niggers" in the Democratic
Party. She overheard him and promptly became a life-long Republican.
It was during these days that Mrs. Wims was told by a school janitor to
"contribute to the Democratic Party or lose your job." At that time,
Mrs. Wims and Mr. & Mrs. Onward Abington were colleagues in the Mingo
County, West Virginia school system. They lost their teaching positions
for not adhering to the janitor's ultimatum.
The other forty black teachers contributed and kept their jobs.
Mrs. Wims (Hoggard) was instrumental in the Abingtons moving to Las
Vegas and their being employed by the school district. Both of them
retired. Mr. Abington died in 1975; Mrs. Abington lives in North Las
Vegas.
After losing her teaching position, Mrs. Wims became the first
black regular writer for the Williamson News and became the first black
administrative staff person for the Williamson Housing Authority.
Subsequently, she worked in the State Republican Party of West Virginia
and for national committee men and multi-millionaire R. J. Funhauser
as governess.
In 1944, Mrs. Wims applied for a position with the Los Angeles
Housing Authority and was enroute to that position, when she stopped in
Las Vegas to visit her only aunt, Mrs. Mae Harris. The aunt and her
husband A. j. Harris and a cousin, Florence Elmore, persuaded her not
to go to Los Angeles, but to apply for employment in Las Vegas. In early
1945, she started working as secretary at the Jefferson Ave. U.S.O, where
she remained until in September 1945, as the first black teacher in the
state of Nevada.
This milestone in history came about the same time as Jackie Robinson
broke the color barrier in professional baseball. Just as all black
baseball players since that historic breakthrough owe some allegiance
to Mr. Robinson, so all black educators in Nevada have a deep feeling of
gratitude to Mrs. Wims for completing her probationary requirement which
ultimately opened the doors for others.
In 1947, the same year that she received her first unconditional
contract to teach in the Las Vegas School District, Mrs. Wims married
J. David Hoggard, Sr., a widower with two sons.
During her twenty-five years with the District, Mabel Hoggard
taught at Westside, Matt Kelly, Highland and C.V.T. Gilbert schools.
ggard wao one of the teachers to testify in court supporting an
integration plan for the school district. Eva Simmons, now an administrator
for the district, was the other one. They were supported by
Bermce Moten (Jenkins), then a member of the School Board of Trustees.
Along with other members of the community and teaching profession,
Mabel Hoggard was highly instrumental in having a lunch program established
in the elementary schools.
In 1975, the Board of Trustees saw f i t to honor this pioneer educator
by changing the name of the former Bonanza Elementary School to the Mabel
Hoggard School.
The number of awards of which Mabel Hoggard has been the recipient
attests to the esteem in which she is held by her peers, former students
and the community at large. The capstone of these recognitions was her
being chosen in 1977 by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, as one of the
state's Outstanding Citizens. She received this great honor along with
former Mayor Oran Gragson and publisher of the Las Vegas Sun, Hank Greenspun.
After her retirement in 1970, Mabel Hoggard had been a volunteer for
many church, civic and educational endeavors. One of these which she dearly
loved was working with children and parents, trying to teach them the value
of thrift by joining the Westside Federal Credit Union. Her suffering a
stroke in 1979 has forced a curtailment of these activities.
In addition to all members of her family and particularly her nine
grandchildren, this great teacher and humanitarian lighted a path for
all Nevadans to walk in and are "proud that they did."
In addition to her other experiences, Mabel Hoggard has been a
Program Director for the Operation Independence Day Care Center and a
- 3 -
First Grade Teacher at the Trinity Methodist Church Day Camp School.
Her Civic and Professional Activities have included membership on the
Executive Committee of the Las Vegas Community Concert Association and
on the Executive Committee of the Southern Nevada Teachers of English
and Foreign Languages. She has served as Secretary of the Clark County
Chapter of the American Red Cross, Treasurer of the Las Vegas Classroom
Teachers Association, Secretary of Program Material for the Women's
Society of Christian Service, Zion Methodist Church and has served on
the Executive Board of the Las Vegas Branch of the NAACP. She has been
a delegate to the Nevada State Educational Convention and a delegate to
the National Educational Convention. Mabel Hoggard is a member of Gamma
Phi Delta Sorority, a member of the Republican Central Committee of
Las Vegas, a life member of the National Education Association, a member
of the League of Women Voters, a member of the United Church Women and
a member of the National Retired Teachers Association.
She has been cited as Honor Teacher of the Week by the Las Vegas
Rotary Club and received the Distinguished Service Award in the Field
of Education from the Clark County Teachers Association.

Reprinted from the Las Vegas Sentinel, February 18, 1982
Clark County schools, and
the people behind their names
AS a primary teacher, Mabel Hoggard taught at
Westside Elementary, > Matt Kelly, Highland
and C.V.T. Gilbert schools la Las Vegas from
1946 through 1970. During that period, in 1953,
Bonanza Village Elementary School was completed.
Two decades later, on July 11,1974; Thurman White,
now Associate Superintendent of School Facilities,
presented Exhibit F to the Clark County School
Board requesting that Bonanza be renamed Mabel
W. Hoggard Elementary as a special tribute to honor
that special lady.
• .• •
Born in Pueblo, Colo., Mabel Hoggard attended
elementary and high school in Des Moines and
Colfax, Iowa. She received her Bachelor of Science
in Elementary Education, Cum Laude, from Bluefield
State Teachers College, Bluefield, West Virginia,
and completed post graduate work at the University
of Chicago and the UCLA. For six years Mrs.
Hoggard was a teaching principal at Elementary
School No. 4 in Jenkins, Kentucky. Another six years,
again as a teaching principal, were spent at
Delbarton School, Mingo County, West Virginia. For
two years Mrs. Hoggard was a member of the
administrative staff of the Public Housing Authority
of Williamson, West Virginia, with a second two-year
stint on the administrative staff of the Jefferson Ave.
USO in Las Vegas.
1962 found Mrs. Hoggard honored by Las Vegas
Rotary as the "Honor Teacher of the Week." As
Chairman of the Westside Council in 1969 Mrs.
Hoggard worked with a coalition of the six Westside
elementary schools and was Instrumental in influencing
Clark County School District Trustees in establishing
a district-wide lunch program in these
schools, growing from the success of a pilot nutritional
breakfast program previously established
there.
During her summers, Mrs. Hoggard served as
Program Director of the Operation Independence
Day Care Center, was first grade teacher for Trinity
Methodist Day Camp, and found time to pursue
further postgraduate work at Nevada Southern University
(now UNLV). But studying, teaching and
raising her family didn't take all of this energetic
educator's time. She was also a member of the
executive committee of the Las Vegas Community
Concert Association, on the executive committee of
the Southern Nevada Teachers of English and Foreign
Languages, secretary of the Clark County
Chapter of the American Red Cross for two terms,
treasurer of the Las Vegas Classroom Teachers
Association (two terms), and served on the executive
board of the NAACP. She attended both the Nevada
State Educational Convention in Ely and the National
Educational Convention at Portland, Oregon.
Mrs. Hoggard is a life member of the National
Education Association, a member of the League of
Women Voters, NAACP, Zion Methodist Church and
the American Association of Retired Teachers. In
April of 1968 she received the Distinguished Service'
Award from the Clark County Teachers' Association
at its annual banquet, where she was described as
one of the first primary teachers in the County,
dedicating her time to children, their education and -
her community. At Commencement Exercises at
UNLV in 1977, Mabel Hoggard was honored with a
Distinguished Nevadan Award, presented by UNLV
President Donald Baepler. In addition to these many
civic endeavors, Mrs. Hoggard has been a regular
donor to the SUN Summer Camp Fund.
She and husband, J. David Hoggard (former
Executive Director of the Economic Opportunity
Board of Clark County) have raised three sons in Las ;
Vegas. .• , • ; ,

Students have left their mark on the community,
adding to the prestige of the Mabel Hoggard School.
Stephanie Meacham placed second in the Earth
exhibits for the Sixth Grade Centers represented at
the 1983 Clark County School District Science Fair.
In; 1982,* second graders from Mabel Hoggard
Elementary posed for silhouettes displayed on the
walls of McCgrran International Airport.
Among 1982 "winners in the Clark County School
District Art Show was Hoggard kindergartener
William Levi. Robert Gaston, onetime principal of
Mabel Hoggard Elementary, teamed with two other
Cal-Western Law students to win the Western Regional
Championship in the National Trial Competition,
a competition among law students of law
schools accredited by the American Bar Association.
Sixteen teams participated.
Mabel Hoggard, beloved as a teacher and community
leader, has left an enduring mark on Las
Vegas.
• • • PRINCIPAL of Hoggard Sixth Grade Center is
Shirley Barber .She and her husband, Air Force
Major Howard Barber, moved to Las Vegas
with their four children to be close to Barber's
parents, Wyatt and LueAnnie Barber.
Feeling that the children would benefit from the
stability and security of their grandparents, with
Major Barber overseas, Mrs. Barber brought Bruce
(now a senior at Western High), Lorie (college
freshman), Bryant (Stanford law student) and Karen
(student at Gibson Junior High) to Las Vegas. Major
Barber, now retired, presently teaches at Von Tobel
Junior High School. Mrs. Barber first taught at Lois
Craig School.
From Dayton, Ohio where Shirley attended
Wright State University, receiving her Master's
Degree, the Barber family traveled extensively.
Both Bryan and Karen were born in Europe. Major
Barber served in Vietnam in the '50s. Lorie and
| Bryant are both graduates of Western High School.
I Five awards were recently given to the Mabel
Hoggard Sixth Grade Center. The Nevada PTA,
during its Las Vegas convention, awarded it a plaque
for Outstanding Achievement in enlisting over 75
percent participation in Hoggard's PTSA (students
are included here). The second honor, The Bonanza
Award, came for gaining a 25 percent membership
over the same period last year. Award number three,
also from the Nevada PTA Association, is in appreciation
for an outstanding contribution made to
advance the cause of excellence in education for the
youth of Nevada. The Nevada PTA gave Hoggard
Sixth Grade Center its fourth award, called the
'49'er, and the Educator's Award, for 90 percent
teacher membership in its PTA is the fifth award
proudly accepted by Janet Coombs, PTSA President,
and Principal Barber for the entire school.
The 500 students come to school via nine buses
from feeder schools (Howard Wasden, Ruth Fyfe,
J.T. McWilliams and Paul Culley) and the Hoggard
PTSA represents parents from each of these feeder
schools. Mrs. Barber feels the Sixth Grade Center is
successful beyond her wildest dreams, with good
working arrangements, lots of communication, benefited
by planned input from principals of the feeder
schools.
Shirley Barber is a working principal. She is
visible on the playground, in classrooms, at community
and school meetings. She feels that extracurricular
activities are an important part of the total
development of a child. At the Hoggard Open House
this year there were more than 300 parents in
attendance for the evening meeting. The Christmas
program played to standing room only, and the same
is expected at the Spring Concert May 26. The
Student Council gave a Valentine dance; the schol
carnival, PTSA supported, was a great success; a
yearbook, "Hoggard Highlights" was named in a
contest run by the students themselves, and the
Hoggard Roadrunners field a Drill Team, a Flag
Team and put out their own newspaper.
The firebrand behind all this is one Shirley
Barber, whose motto seems to be "You can't get
things done sitting behind a deskf'D

Casino district bill to be recommended
By Michael L. Campbell
SUN Staff Writer
CARSON CITY - An Assembly
subcommittee will recommend
passage of a bill that is
supposed to prevent future
growth of casinos into Las Vegas
neighborhoods, Assemblyman
Gene Porter said Thursday.
Porter, a Las Vegas Democrat,
is chairman of a three-member
Assembly Judiciary subcommittee
that is supposed to clean up
the language of the bill authored
by Assemblyman Matthew
Callister, D-Las Vegas.
The bill would mandate that

MABEL HOGGARD
Nevada
pioneer
teacher dies
By Bob Shemeligian
SUN Staff Writer
Mabel Hoggard, the state's
first black school teacher when
she was hired in 1946 in Las Vegas,
died Wednesday night after a long
illness. She was 84.
A diminutive woman known
among family members and
friends as a sensitive, caring
person, Mrs. Hoggard was born
March 10, 1905, to Marshall and
Maybelle Welch in Pueblo, Colo.
As a teenager, she worked during
the summertime for her
parents at the family grocery
store in Pueblo. The remainder of
the year, she lived with her
grandparents in Iowa and went to
elementary and high school in Des
Moines and Colfax, Iowa.
She told everyone she planned
to become a teacher.
In an interview 12 years ago,
Mrs. Hoggard said, "I don't know
of anything more important than
molding that young person, than
teaching. Without a foundation,
you can't build."
Her husband of 42 years, J.
David Hoggard, former executive
director of the Clark County
Economic Opportunity Board,
said his wife was very proud to be
recognized in the history books as
Nevada's first black school
teacher.
"She liked to help and to
educate people," he said. "You ask
about her hobbies and what she
liked to do. It always involved
people. She was dedicated to civic
work, and she was an active life
member in the NAACP. She was
always trying to help."
Mrs. Hoggard volunteered in a

County establish gaming districts
and once these districts are set up,
no casino could be placed outside
of them.
Assembly Judiciary Chairman
Bob Sader, D-Reno, was worried
about the constitutionality of
AB845 and wanted to have the
bill's wording reviewed by the
subcommittee and the
Legislature's research division
before a vote was taken by the full
committee.
The subcommittee has recommended
a few changes to the bill
which are intended to make sure
the wording isn't arbitrary and in
turn unconstitutional as Sader
feared.
Sader said a vote will be taken
in the Assembly Judiciary Committee
as soon as Porter is ready
to present the amended version.
Because the b i l l was introduced
late in the legislative
session, there was some concern
expressed by proponents of it
about its chances for passage.
Callister has, however, received
a boost as both Democratic
Gov. Bob Miller and Southern
Nevada's larger casino resorts
have backed limiting the growth
of casinos into Las Vegas
neighborhoods.
Callister said Thursday the
suggested amendments to the bill
were acceptable and asserted
there was still enough time during
this session to pass the measure.
Callister indicated that some
lawmakers may face difficulty
voting against the bill, which
some legislative observers
believe is politically popular.
"It's going to be a tough one to
say no to and then go home to
explain to your constituents,"
Callister said.
While the city of Las Vegas has
been neutral on the bill, representatives
have said sections are too
vague and could add bureaucratic
layers to their zoning process.
Las Vegas Deputy City
Manager Randy Walker said
Thursday there are some
Pop stars deliver anti-drug message
loopholes in the bill and there was
no mechanism within the bill for
actually creating a gaming district.
"That's a loophole big enough
to drive a semi-truck through,"
Walker said.
Several attempts at placing
casinos in the Las Vegas Valley
have generated controversy recently.
After several hundred residents
protested a zoning change
with the city of Las Vegas that
would have allowed the Bighorn
Casino to be placed next to the
Deskin Elementary School and a
cemetery, the developer
withdrew his application.

Mayor Ron Lurie announced
Thursday.
Greg Nelson, president of
Minami Development, has
donated $5,000 to the Committee
for Jail Expansion, which is
coordinating advertising promoting
the bond issue. The city is
prohibited from using taxpayer's
dollars to advertise election issues.
In making the donation,
Minami Develpment joins 30 business
and concerned citizens who
believe that expanding the city's
jail facilities will be effective in
keeping criminals off the streets
of Las Vegas.
"As an investor in the
downtown area, we want to help
ensure that is is safe for those
individuals who work and relax
here," Nelson said. "This donation
is our way of showing or concenr
and support for this critical bond
issue which will continue to assist
Sheriff Moran and the judges in
winning the fight against crime in
this city."
Voters will be asked June 6 to
approve a $9.5 million bond issue
for the expansion of the city's jail
that will include an additional 450
beds, a kitchen and counseling
center at the Stewart/Mohave Detention
facility.

company.
He is survived by one daughter,

number of organizations and
founded several programs to help
people — especially minorites.
In a pragmatic approach to
help residents of West Las Vegas,
Mrs. Hoggard in 1975 founded
Project Savings at West Side
Federal Credit Union. She did this
to help children learn the value of
a savings account.
Among her achievements, she
has been named a Distinguished
Nevadan by UNLV, and a local
school has been named after her.
More than 550 students attend The
Mabel Hoggard Sixth Grade
Center at 950 N. Tonopah Drive.
She was named woman of the
year by several local clubs, and
was honored by the American Red
Cross, NAACP, Zion Methodist
Church, Wesleyan Service Guild
and the Clark County Classroom
Teachers' Association.
After graduating with a cum
laude degree in education from
Bluefield State Teachers College
in West Virginia, Mrs. Hoggard
quickly was hired as a teaching
principal in a two-room school
house in Jenkins, Ky. She later
worked in the same capacity in
West Virginia.
It was during her tenure in
West Virginia that Mrs. Hoggard
truly learned the price of standing
up for rights.
At the time, she said, the Democrats
in the West Virginia
county were coming into office,
and they demanded that school
trustees take money from
teachers' salaries and put it into
party coffers.
"There were 32 black teachers,
and we joined hands and said, 'We
won't do it,"' Mrs. Hoggard said in
a 1977 interview. "Well, when it
got down to it, only four of us did
not and we were fired."
She came to Las Vegas in the
1940s for a visit, and decided to
stay. She quickly got a job in her
field, and her Aug. 16, 1946, contract
for $2,090, to teach second
grade at Westside Elementary
School is a milestone document.
"I try to do what I believe is
right," Mrs. Hoggard once said. "I
know sometimes you have to
fight, but everywhere you go you
find some people with the right
attitude."
Besides her husband, Mrs. Hoggard
is survived by two sons,
Charles I. Wims of Oakland, Calif.,
from a previous marriage, and J.
David Hoggard Jr. of Las Vegas.
She also is survived by eight
grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.
Funeral arrangements are
pending.

teaching. Without a foundation,

said his wife was very proud to be
recognized in the history books as

Nevada's first black teacher dies
1 By Marcia Austin
Review-Journal
Services are being planned for
Mabel Hoggard, Nevada's first
black school teacher, who died
Wednesday night in Las Vegas.
She was 84.
She was born on March 10,
1905, in Pueblo, Colo., where her
parents ran a grocery store.
During the summers, she
worked in the Colorado store,
where she informed one and all
that someday she was going to be
a teacher.
She attended a small college on
the fringes of the South — the
Bluefield State Teachers College
in Bluefield, W.Va. — and re-
VIJV/ OVI1UUX
district for two years but she feels
honored to have known Hoggard
even for that short period.
"For the last two years the kindergartners
have given her a birthday
party. She's also been to the
last two Grandparents Days. She
was in a wheelchair each time but Study
ceived her bachelor of science degree.
She did post graduate work
at the University of Southern
California and the University of
Nevada, Las Vegas.
In 1946 she became the first
black teacher hired in Nevada.
For the next 24 years she taught
first and second grades.
In 1962 she was honored by the
Las Vegas Rotary Club, which
cited her dedication to children
and her contributions to her profession
and her community. She
also received the Distinguished
Service Award from the Clark
County Teachers Association at
its annual banquet in 1968.
She was named woman of the
tuciu gui ueais. i ne sixtn-graaers
recognized her from the picture in
the general office and whenever
she visited they ran up to greet
her."
NAACP President Rev. Jesse
Scott said he met Hoggard when
he first moved to the city in 1970
and he has always considered her a
year by several clubs and was
honored by the American Red
Cross, NAACP, Zion Methodist
Church and Wesleyan Service
Guild at the Clark County Classroom
Teachers Association.
But, one of the most noticable
honors and probably the most
lasting memory of her is the Mabel
W. Hoggard Elementary
School. The sixth grade center is
located at 950 N. Tonopah Drive.
"Only when the horizons of all
children have been broadened —

will we be able to make much needed

painful conflict," Hoggard said in
1974 when she spoke to Clark
County School Trustees, who renamed
Bonanza Elementary
School in her honor.
Hoggard suffered from a series of
strokes but her community work
continued. She retired in 1970.
Martha Castaneva, office manager
at the sixth grade center, said
she has only worked in the school
district for two years but she feels
honored to have known Hoggard
even for that short period.

NAACP President Rev. Jesse
Scott said he met Hoggard when
he first moved to the city in 1970
and he has always considered her a
close and dear friend.
"You don't have enough time or

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Mabel Welch Wims Hoggard was born March 10,1905 to Marshall and Maybelle Welch in
Pueblo, Colorado. Her parents and an only sibling, Milton B. Welch preceeded her in death.
She united with Zion under Rev. Robert Kelly where she was a member until her death.
She was a member of the Women's Society of Christian Service and Church Women United.
She was also a zealous worker in the ecumerical movement in Las Vegas.
Mabel was known and loved as a caring person who knew early in life she wanted to be a
teacher. By perserverence and hard work, she obtained her education and fulfilled her life's
ambition by teaching for three years in Kentucky, six years in West Virginia and twenty-five
years in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Throughout her life, she was a gracious lady who enjoyed people of all ages regardless
of race, religion or cultural background.
Of her many accomplishments, Mabel was extremely proud of the role she played in
motivating the Clark County School District to establish lunch programs in elementary
schools, forming the WESTSIDE Council for the six schools in the area, which provided
school time for teachers and administrators to meet and discuss new ideas for old
problems in education, utilizing much volunteer help from the community organizing
"Project Savings'' within the Westside Federal Credit Union geared to teaching young
people how to save and manage their money.
During the late forties through the early sixties, the Hoggard house was a home away
from home for many black business people, government employees and civil rights
officials. This of course was prior to passage of the civil rights act and the public
accommodation law.
Many local people along with NAACP and HVD officials recall the great meals Mabel
cooked and served at 711 Morgan, including those delicious homemade rolls. Some may
recall the day Josephine Baker, the famous actress, singer and dancer let it be known she
had a taste for soul food. Mabel, with the help of friends prepared ham hocks, collard
greens, black-eyed peas and deep dish peach cobbler for Miss Baker and some of the
members of the cast. A memorable day and meal, and as always, Mabel received much
satisfaction when she could be the gracious hostess and knew you enjoyed the food.
Though Mabel received many accolades and recognitions during her life, she remained
humble and unassuming through the last presentation. A Cum Laude student, a master
teacher, a civil rights activist, a community leader, a concerned and caring human being, a
loving, loyal and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to all
mankind has gone ahead to eternal rest. Mabel will be sorely missed by all whose lives were
touched by her.
Left suffering this loss, with others, are her husband J. David Hoggard, Sr. - sons
Charles I. Wims and J. David Hoggard, Jr.; eight grandchildren, Jacques, Brian, Tawn,
Charles and Marcellus Wims, all of California; and Morrin, Jason and Michael, two qreatgrandchildren,
Nicole & Mekia, all of Clark County, Nevada; and one first cousin, Dorothy
McCants, of San Pablo, California. Additional loving members of the family include, Viola
f, T6!1"6 Tay'or Hoggard, Dianne Lier Hoggard and Carolyn Mclntyre, plus
all of the in-laws of her extended family and many, many devoted friends from the
community at large.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF MRS. MABEL
w. HOGGARD
• Mr. BRYAN. Mr. President, I rise
before you today to commemorate the
lifetime achievements of Mrs. Mabel
W. Hoggard, the first black educator
in the State of Nevada.
A 45-year resident of Las Vegas, Mrs.
Hoggard was employed by the Las
Vegas Union School District in 1946.
In 1969, she was the chairman of the
Westside Council, a coalition which
was instrumental in establishing a district
wide lunch program in the elementary
schools. Mabel Hoggard
taught in a number of elementary
schools until June 1970, when she retired.
Her career in educating Nevada's
students did not end, however, upon
Mrs. Hoggard's retirement from the
classroom. She remained a tireless
worker on behalf of the people of the
West Las Vegas area and for education.
Mabel Hoggard was a member of
many civic and professional organizations,
including the League of Women
Voters, the Zion Methodist Church,
and the Las Vegas branch of the
NAACP. She was a two-term secretary
of the Clark County Chapter of the
American Red Cross, the treasurer of
the Las Vegas Classroom Teachers Association
for 2 years, and a life
member of the National Education Association.
Mrs. Hoggard received the Distinguished
Service Award in the Field of
Education from the Clark County
Teachers Association in April 1968. In
1974, the Bonanza Elementary School
was renamed the Mabel W. Hoggard
School by the board of school trustees
as a special tribute in honor of her
many years of service and dedication
to the schools of Clark County and to
the community.
In addition to being known as one of
the finest primary teachers in the
county dedicated to children, Mabel
Hoggard also raised three sons, and
was married to J. David Hoggard,
former executive director of the Clark
County Economic Opportunity Board.
Mable W. Hoggard's achievements in
the field of education, her dedication
to children, her service to the School
District, and her contributions to her
profession and her community have
been outstanding. This extraordinary
woman has served her State and country
with distinction, and her presence
will certainly be missed in Nevada.®

TRIBUTE TO MRS. MABEL

HON. JAMES H. BILBRAY
OF NEVADA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, June 15, 1989
Mr. BILBRAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise before my
colleagues today with deep sadness. An outstanding
member of the Las Vegas community
and an inspiration to all Americans, Mrs.
Mabel Hoggard, passed away on Wednesday,
May 31, 1989, after a long illness. Mrs. Hoggard
was 84 years old.
Mabel Hoggard was a remarkable woman,
who will be remembered as Nevada's first
black school teacher.
Born on March 10, 1905, to Marshall and
Maybelle Welch in Pueblo, CO, Mrs. Hoggard
worked during the summers for her parents in
the family grocery store in Pueblo. The remainder
of the year, she lived with her grandparents
in Iowa and went to elementary and
high school in Des Moines and Colfax, IA.
While growing up, she informed one and all
that someday she was going to be a teacher.
She graduated with a cum laude degree in
education from the Bluefield State Teachers
College in Bluefield, WV. Her first job was as
a teaching principal in a two-room school
house in Jenkins, KY. She did postgraduate
work at the University of Southern California
and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
When she came to Las Vegas in the 1940's
for a visit, she decided to stay. In 1946 she
became the first black teacher hired in
Nevada. For the next 24 years she taught first
and second grades.
Mrs. Hoggard's energy and commitment to
helping and educating people was shown in
her dedication to civic work. She volunteered
in a number of organizations and founded
several programs to help people—especially
minorities. In 1975 Mrs. Hoggard founded
Project Savings at West Side Federal Credit
Union. She did this to help children learn the
value of savings accounts.
For her distinguished and selfless contributions,
Mrs. Hoggard received many commendations
and awards. Among her achievements
she was recognized as a Distinguished Nevadan
by UNLV. She was named woman of
the year by several clubs and was honored by
the American Red Cross, NAACP, Las Vegas
Rotary Club, Zion Methodist Church and Wesleyan
Service Guild, and the Clark County
Classroom Teachers' Association. But, one of
the most noticeable honors and probably the
most lasting memory of her is the Mabel W.
Hoggard Elementary School.
"Only when the horizons of all children
have been broadened—when children are motivated
to move ahead, to secure the education
they must have in order to fill positions of
responsibility in our society—then, and only
then, will we be able to make much needed
change possible without undue painful conflict,"
Mrs. Hoggard said in 1974, when she
spoke to the Clark County School Trustees,
who renamed Bonanza Elementary School in
her honor.
Mrs. Hoggard had a great impact on children,
the community, the church, the NAACP
and people everywhere she went. Her dedication
to children and her contribution to her
profession and her community earned her the
respect and love of all whose lives she
touched. She was admired by many friends,
coworkers, and countless Las Vegans and her
passing leaves a void that will not easily be
forgotten. Her boundless energy, talent, and
zest for life serves as a true inspiration to us
all.
Mr. Speaker, the passing of Mrs. Mabel
Hoggard is a great loss to all Las Vegans and
Nevadans, but she leaves behind a legacy for
which her family and all Americans can be
proud.

passing of our beloved wife,

luickly. was hired as a .teaching
jrincipal in a two-room school

yprked^iri. the same capacity in

It was during her tenure in
West Virginia that Mrs. Hoggard
frulyJ&rned the price of standing
up for, rights.
At the time, she said, the Democrats
. in the West Virginia
county were coming into office,
and they demanded that school
trustees take money from
teachers' salaries and put it into
party coffers.
"There were 32 black teachers,
and we joined hands and said, 'We
won't do it,"' Mrs. Hoggard said in
a 1977 interview. "Well, when it
got down to it, only four of us did
not and we were fired."
She came to Las Vegas in the
1940s for a visit, and decided to
stay. She quickly got a job in her
field, and her Aug. 16, 1946, contract
for $2,090, to teach second
grade at Westside Elementary
School is a milestone document.
"I try to do what I believe is
right," Mrs. Hoggard once said. "I
know sometimes you have to
fight, but everywhere you go you
find some people with the right
attitude."
Besides her husband, Mrs. Hoggard
is survived by two sons,
Chajles I. Wims of Oakland, Calif,

No one is indispensable.
If that weren't true, the
world would have stopped
spinning a long time ago. There
always seems to be someone coming
along to take the place of those who
Ipave.
But in the case of two well-loved
Las Vegans, their shoes.will bevery
difficult to fill. They are almost Indispensable,
except that a higher
power has decided that we must go
forward without tfjeir presence.
Mabel Hoggard was a lady of great
dignitybnd determination.
She was one of the first people I
became involved with when I started
writing a column for this newspaper.
At the time, she was deeply concerned
over the education of children
on the "Westside" as West Las
Vegas was known at the time.
She railed against the second rate
education offered black students and
her efforts were instrumental in upgrading
the type of education received
by ail students, especially
minorities.
She believed that children should
be educated, but, as she so eloquently
proclaimed, "they can't learn on an
empty stomach."
It was Mabel who spearheaded the
school lunch program in Clark County's
schools.
Mabel and I had a special relationship.
When the phone rang and
the caller stated, "Hello, this is
Mabel, can we have lunch?" I always
chuckled and said, "What is your
latest crusade?"
Sure enough, after pleasantries
were exchanged, Mabel would outline
a new project to benefit the
community.
"I need your help," she would say,
and friends of this gracious lady knew
that was a demand to get involved.
As one reporter in the SUN
newsroom exclaimed on hearing of
her death, "She was working for civil
rights before most people knew what
the words meant."

Friends and colleagues Friday recalled the contributions of Mabel Hoggard, whose portrait stands at left.
Hoggard's contributions to education recalled
Clark County Community College,
described Hoggard as "the
brightest star in our galaxy.... Her
effectiveness was only exceeded
by her willingness to share it with
others."
By Erik Pappa
SUN Staff Writer
Mabel Welch Wims Hoggard,
Nevada's first black teacher and a
prominent community activist,
w^as eulogized Friday for her tireless
cpntributions to education
and society.
"We will find solace in the
memories of her exemplary life,"
Shirley Barber, principal at the
sixth-grade center named in Hoggard's
honor, told a crowd of
about 150 people who gathered at
the Zion United Methodist Church.
Hoggard, 84, died May 31, and,
according to Pastor Marion Bennett,
"lived a long and useful life."
Barber was among a long line
of persons who spoke of fond
rpemories and the accomplishments
of the woman who in 1946
^ecame the state's first black
jjeacher. She worked for 25 years
as an elementary school instrutor
here.
"We were looking for some
good teachers," recalled thensuperintendent
Walter Johnson,
noting that previous superintendent
Maude Frazier told him
about an outstanding substitute
instructor.
"I immediately contacted her
and put her under contract,"
Johnson said.
Barber said Hoggard often visited
the West Las Vegas school,
and "the students were left with
love, admiration and . pride that
made them want to excel."
Charlotte Enus, a labor relations
manager for Reynolds Electrical
Engineering Company, recalled
having Hoggard as a
teacher in second grade at West
Side Elementary School. "Mrs.
Hoggard was very concerned
about us," Enus said, noting how
Hoggard would write notes home
to her parents and encourage her
to perform better.
"I hope I and others will carry
on the legacy of caring in the
community," she said.
Hoggard "was always an inspiration
to those who came into
contact with her," Bennett said.
"She lived a useful life, she lived a
devoted life, she lived an unselfish
life. The world has been bettered
for her having lived."
Hoggard's brother-in-law, J.
Clinton Hoggard, said she came to
Las Vegas after teaching for three
years in Kentucky and six years in
West Virginia. She was heading
for California when cousins
persuaded her to stay in Las
Vegas, he said.
He said her sojourn was not
such an easy one since she was
forced to battle racism.
"Children were her love and
her goal," the Rev. Jerome
Blankenship said, noting that one
of her proudest accomplishments
was her role in motivating the
Clark County School District to
establish a hot-lunch program.
Blankenship remembered that
Hoggard "would just corner you
and look at you." She would often
ask, "What are you reading this
day?" he recalled "What are you
studying, what new adventures
are you seeking?"
Dr. Paul Mecham, president of
UNLV representative Dr.
James Kitchen called Hoggard
"one of Nevada's greatest and
most influential citizens."
Hoggard played a leading role
in organizing Project Savings
within the Westside Federal
Credit Union, which was geared to
teaching young people how to
save and manage their money.
During the late 1940s, the Hoggard
house Was a home away
from home for many black busin

employees and civil rights leaders
— prior to passage of the civil
rights acts and the public accommodation
law.

Nevada's first black teacher dies
By Marcia Austin
Review-Journal
Services are being planned for
Mabel Hoggard, Nevada's first
black school teacher, who died
Wednesday night in Las Vegas.
She was 84.
She was born on March 10,
1905, in Pueblo, Colo., where her
parents ran a grocery store.
During the summers, she
worked in the Colorado store,
where she informed one and- all
that someday she was going to be
a teacher.
She attended a small college on
the fringes of the South — the
Bluefield State Teachers College
in Bluefield, W.Va. — and received
her bachelor of science degree.
She did post graduate work
at the University of Southern
California and the University of
Nevada, Las Vegas.
In 1946 she became the first
black teacher hired in Nevada.
For the next 24 years she taught
first and second grades.
In 1962 she was honored by the
Las Vegas Rotary Club, which
cited her dedication to children
and her contributions to her profession
and her community. She
also received the Distinguished
Service Award from the Clark
County Teachers Association at
its annual banquet in 1968.
She was named woman of the
year by several clubs and was
honored by the American Red
Cross, NAACP, Zion Methodist
Church and Wesleyan Service
Guild at the Clark County Classroom
Teachers Association.
But, one,of the most noticable
honors and probably the most
lasting memory of her is the Mabel
W. Hoggard Elementary
School. The sixth grade center is
located at 950 N. Tonopah Drive.
"Only when the horizons of all
children have been broadened —
when children are motivated to
move ahead, to secure the education
they must have in order to
fill positions of responsibility in

our society — then, and only then,
will we be able to make much needed
change possible without undue
painful conflict," Hoggard said in
1974 when she spoke to Clark
County School Trustees, who renamed
Bonanza Elementary
School in her honor.
Hoggard suffered from a series of
strokes but her community work
continued. She retired in 1970.
Martha Castaneva, office manager
at the sixth grade center, said
she has only worked in the school :
district for two years but she feels
honored to have known Hoggard
eveft for that short period.
"For the last two years the kindergartners
have given her a birthday
party. She's also been to the
last two Grandparents Days. She
was in a wheelchair each time but
she had such a good time, " Castaneva
said.
"I could see she enjoyed them all
but she especially enjoyed laughing
at the cute things the little ones
did and wanted to make sure all of
them got treats. The sixth-graders
recognized her from the picture in
the general office and whenever
she visited they ran up to greet
her."
NAACP President Rev. Jesse
Scott said he met. Hoggard when
he first moved to the city in 1970
and he has always considered her a
close and dear friend.
"You don't have enough time or
space for me to talk about her," he
said Thursday. "She was the epitomy
of a school teacher. She was
lovely, articulate, kind and had an
outgoing personality. She made a
big impact on children, the community,
the church, the NAACP
and people everywhere she went."
Survivors include her husband,
David; sons, J. David Hoggard Jr.
of Las Vegas and Charles I. Wims
of Oakland, Calif.; eight grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren, p

ORAN GRAGSON
Gragson is the only person in the history of Las Vegas
to be elected mayor four time3 — a 16-year period from 1959
to 1975. He managed the affairs of city government during
a time when the community tripled in population.
Serving on dozens of boards, commissions and study
committees concerned with the community's progress,
Gragson spearheaded the development of new parks,
freeways, facilities for senior citizens, cultural and recreational
centers during his tenure as mayor.
He has been chairman of the Las'Vegas Convention
Authority, president of the Nevada Municipal Association
and chairman of the Southern Nevada Manpower Planning
Council, among many other posts.
Gragson came to Nevada in 1932 as a 21-year-old
construction worker, riding the cables high over the wet
concrete of Hoover Dam.
During the 1940s and '50s, he succeeded in operating his
own garage and furniture businesses before entering the
mayor's race as a political novice in 1959.
Honored on countless occasions, Gragson was selected in
1968 to receive the Fioreilo LaGuardia Award as America's
Outstanding Mayor, a citation earned by or.ly four other
mayors in the country's history.
Today, he serves as director of the Downtown Progress
Association in Las Vegas and as a consultant to management
and labor. He is this year's Cancer Crusade chairman in
Clark County.

ELTON M. GARRETT
Garrett, a real estate broker in Boulder City, came to Las
Vegas in 1929 to report on tne construction of Hoover Dam
for the region's first newspaper — the Las Vegas Age —
which he later edited.
Settling in Boulder City, he served successively as
principal of the city's public schools, editor of the Boulder
City Journal and News, ana president of the town's Chamber
of Commerce.
He worked in the 1940s as chairman of the Boulder City-
Coordinating Councii to solve some of the unique problems
associated with a town owned wholly by the federal
government.
Later, as president of the Clark County Civic Sendee
Federation, he rallied support to secure water for the
townspeople and proposed some of the first flood control
legislation in Southern Nevada.
His chairmanship of the Clark County Legislative Council,
composed of more than 50 county organizations throughout
the 1950s, was marked by efforts to bring parks, industrial
and economic development to Boulder City and a university
to Southern Nevada.
It was Garrett's work that assured passage of the Boulder
Bill of 1958, leading to Boulder City's first self governnrnu
two years later.
For 2i years, he also served as commissioner of the Lake
Mead National Recreation Area, attempting always to open
the scenic region to more tourism.
