After the traveling over seas by boat, Lucille and her nurse companions as well as the entire 279th Station Hospital was set up in valley of Mount Abergavenny, the Gateway to Wells. It was a pleasant country town at the feet of three mountains: the Sugarloaf, Blorenge and Skirrid. Abergavenny had two railroad stations and a bus station. There were lots of places to visit.

West Sabine Elementary School celebrated teacher appreciation week with a camping theme which read, “It’s been a wild year, thanks for getting us through it!” Pictured left to right, Kristen Cox, DeEsta Jones, Teresa Neal, Savannah Lout, Tara Fuller, Dee Schrieber, Denise Little, and Kena McClenny.

Pictured is West Sabine senior, Hailey Cunningham (softball, cross country, basketball) with Jessica Adkins, mother (right), and Kim Stott Adkins, grandmother (left) enjoying a night for the athletes. West Sabine ISD held their first annual athletic banquet on Monday, May 9, at the Family Life Center in Pineland. First impressions would indicate that the gathering was a complete success, not only for the athletes, but for the families who were able to join the celebration instead of being relegated to the sidelines. Powerlifting, cross country, track and field, cheerleading, basketball, football, baseball, softball, every athlete in attendance was recognized by the head coach of that sport, with many of them presented certificates for academic or athletic achievements. The banquet gave the families of one sport the opportunity to share in the accomplishments of all West Sabine student-athletes, which, according to superintendent, Dr. Carnelius Gilder, is the goal of the West Sabine ISD family.
