KC student publications recently

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The U.S. Constitution guarantees these rights.
“Even now, you can be what you want to be,”
said Betty Sullivan, an 80-year-old former
Rangerette. “ The American Dream is not
dead.”
The American Dream, at one time, meant the
same thing for everyone: get a job, get married
and have children who, in turn, would repeat
that process.
“What most girls did was get married after
high school,” Sullivan said. “That was the
thing to do.”
Sullivan, mother of four and grandmother
of six, had a dream of becoming a dancer for
the Rockettes, a dance group in New York.
In order to see that dream realized, Sullivan
became a KC Rangerrette.
As a Rangerette, Sullivan traveled across
the country, visiting major cities such as

CHELSEA HOUGH
Assistant Editor
Registration for the Summer and Fall
2011 semesters begins Monday, April 11, for
current KC students and Monday, April 18,
for new and returning students.
While the process of early registration is
no stranger to KC, the
new payment deadline
is.
Unlike past years,
all payments for early
registered students must
be turned in by, July 15
(online payments will
remain open through,
July 17).
The earlier payment deadline is to deter
students from holding on to spots in classes
that they have no intention of paying for,
said Staci Martin, registrar and director of
admissions.
This deadline will allow the Registrar’s
Office to drop all the unpaid students and
free up class spaces for when registration
reopens.
Registration will be closed July 18
so the Registrar’s Office can drop the
unpaid students. Online and on-campus
registration will reopen the next day.
Another date for students to note is the fall
financial aid deadline on July 1.
To ensure that students will have their
financial aid in place for the fall, July 1 is
the absolute last day to have everything
submitted. Students who are not sure what
information they must provide, can visit
CampusConnect or make an appointment
in the Counseling Center.
CHELSEA HOUGH
Assistant Editor
Students wishing to drop a class must do so
by 4 p.m. Friday, April 15, at the latest.
Drops will no longer be processed after that
time unless extenuating circumstances are
approved by the division dean, according
to Staci Martin,
registrar and director of
admissions.
To drop a class, students
must go to the Registrar’s
Office on the second floor
of the Devall Student
Center to fill out a blue
drop request form. Also,
students must bring

When filling out the form, students will

they are dropping the class.
Some reasons, such as personal illness,
death in the family, etc., will not count
against a student’s total of six drops allowed
in one’s college career. Reasons such as class
difficulty or dislike of instructor, however,
will count against total drops.
“I encourage students not to wait until
the very last possible day to drop a class,”
Martin said. “We process hundreds of drop
requests during the last week, so don’t wait
until the last minute.”

As the copper horse heads hang and lights stand
in suspension in the darkness of the upstage,
the false impression of a theatrical and nonrealistic
play sets in. Peter Shaffer’s “Equus” opens 7:30
p.m. Thursday, April 14, in Van Cliburn Auditorium.
“Nothing gives you the illusion of reality, just the
feeling of the moment,” said director Kathy Barber.
The play is based on a true incident. The playwright
was traveling through England when he heard of a
crime that took place; a teenage boy blinded six horses
where he worked.
That occurrence stayed in the playwright’s head and
he asked himself “Why would anyone commit an act of
such cruelty?”
The story takes place in a children’s psychological
hospital where the doctor unravels the confusion and
mystery of the boy’s motivation.
The stage is set with a wooden platform, which serves
as the horse stables and psychologist’s office. Chairs are

More than a dozen KC students and
the director of the Baptist Student
Ministry were among more than 10,000
college students, from 14 countries
crammed into the Fort Worth
Convention Center with hands raised,
worshipping God last weekend for the
2011 Passion Conference.
Passion seeks college and university
students around the world to seek the
face of God, asking Him to ignite in
students’ souls.
In an effort to help the homeless in
Fort Worth, 5,700 towels and over 37,000
pairs of socks were donated to local
shelters by students.
As students gathered in worship
Louie Giglio, who led the conference,
challenged those in attendance to
donate money to the Do Something Now
efforts. DSN is a non-profit Christian
organization devoted to helping those
in need such as the people of Haiti and
Japan along with numerous others.
Giglio shared stories about the Koso
people in West Africa who had never
heard about Jesus until last year.
He challenged students with a goal
of donating the remaining $220,000
needed to finish getting scripture to
the Koso people in their language. In
less than an hour, over half of the goal
had been met, and, by the end of the
weekend, students had donated a total
of $237,000.
Christian music artists David
Crowder, Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall,
and Lecrae led worship at Passion.
When: Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

set around the platform for the actors to sit when they
are not performing, so they are on stage the entire show.
The horses walk in on six-inch stilts with horseshoes
to give the illusion of hooves, then eerily place the
copper horse heads on their own skulls.
Though the production and set is very theatrical, the
characters are all very real.
Joshua Wallace, Van freshman, has found playing
the psychiatrist, Martin Dysart, a far more normal
character than he’s used to.
“Sometimes it’s difficult not to let the state of being
of a character permeate your life. This is the first play
where (the character) has affected me to a noticeable
effect,” Wallace said.
The content in “Equus” is for mature audiences only,
and Barber is encouraging no one under 15.
The play will run 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, April
14-16; 2:30 p.m. Sunday, April 17; and 7:30 p.m. Monday-
Tuesday, April 18-19, in the Van Cliburn Auditorium.
Tickets are $6 for adults, $5 for students and $4 with a
KC ID.
For reservations, call 903-983-8126.
“It was all breathtaking, and it was
life changing,” said Andrew Griffith
from New Mexico.
Also at Passion were evangelists
Fancis Chan and John Piper.
Giglio presented a message and said
everyone carries around names, such
as brands of clothes, shoes, purses and
music, but how often do people truly
carry around the name Jesus?
“His [Giglio’s] message on carrying
the name of Jesus was challenging,”
Griffith said. “I’ll forever carry the
name of Jesus, no matter the cost!”
Students also donated money to
provide mosquito nets to African
families.
The nets cost $8 to make, and students
at Passion donated approximately
$14,000, to provide 1,700 nets for African
families.
Giglio read a story from USA Today
about a family whose mother and
daughter were killed in last year’s
earthquake in Haiti.
When Giglio heard about the family,
the Leo’s, he contacted the reporter
and tracked down this family. His team
met with the family and has since
moved them to America to live in an
apartment in Florida.
The Leos are now legalized American
citizens. $27,000 was collected when he
told this story at a Passion Conference
in Georgia.
Giglio spoke to the Texas conference
about the devastation still left in
Haiti and said the Haitians want to
rebuild but can’t because they are still
removing the rubble.
Giglio said it takes two weeks to clear

one site so a new home can be built
due to the excessive prices of the
equipment.
Giglio asked students to start a
fund to provide Haitians with more
heavy equipment and operators.
Since the fund started April 3,
more than $78,000 has been donated.
Ernst Leo, the father of the family,
thanked the students and said that
through the generous love shown to
his family and the people in Haiti,
he has since become a Christian and
recognizes the true love of Jesus
being displayed through Passion
and the students.

Japan fund raiser
Monday at BSM
KC Bible chairs and international
students are hosting a fund raiser
to help victims of the recent
disasters in Japan.
The BSM is serving a curry stew
lunch for $4, starting at 11a.m.
Monday. Curry stew is a traditional
Japanese family meal made with
beef curry, carrots, onions and
potatoes. Brookshires, Clower’s
Meat Market and Walmart of
Kilgore and Kobe Japanese Steak
House of Longview have made
food/monetary donations.
The BSM set up a prayer wall for
anyone who wants to write a prayer
for the victims or their families.
Shelly Webb, BSM director, said
the wall is also a good place to put
words of encouragement for our
Japanese KC students.
Yuta Suganuma, Tokyo, Japan,
freshman and a graphic arts major,
has designed a T-shirt featuring
the Japanese sun and “Hope.” The
shirts cost $12 and all profits will
be sent to Japan for relief efforts.
Suganuma has also made a video
of news footage, as well as survivor
stories that will be playing during
lunch.
Also for a $1 donation, Japanese
students will be teaching how to
make an origami crane. These
cranes will be strung together
for display in the Devall Student
Center.

students first to consider
possible consequences.
Students who live on
campus and fall below
12 semester hours will
be evicted from housing
immediately.
Also, students on
financial aid could be
affected.
Financial aid officer
Annette Morgan suggests
that students on aid
look at the Satisfactory
Progress Policy, located
under the financial aid
tab on the KC website, to
see if dropping a class
would put them in danger
of being on probation.
Morgan also encourages
those who are already
on probation to speak in
person with someone in
the Financial Aid Office,
located on the second
floor of the Devall Student
Center, to see if dropping
a class could put them on
financial aid suspension.
Because the financial
aid count day has already
passed, meaning that the
student has completed
at least 60 percent of the
course and they have
earned their aid, students
who drop classes will not
owe money back.
However, students who
withdraw from all their
classes and are no longer
attending KC will be put
on automatic financial
aid suspension and will
not be able to receive
more aid until they have
completed 12 semester
hours paid for entirely
with their own money.
“The last drop day
marks the 75 percent
point in the semester,
so I encourage students
to think about the time
they have invested in the
class before dropping it,”
Martin said.
Approved drop reasons:
1. Personal illness
2. Care of sick, injured, or needy person
3. Death of family member or close friend
4. Called to active military duty
5. Family member or close friend called to
active military duty
6. Change in work schedule
7. Transportation problems
8. Personal/family obligations
Unapproved drop reasons:
1. Making a failing grade or a grade
that is less than I desire
2. Class is too difficult
3. Do not like instructor
4. Course is not needed for my major

BRENT FLEMING
Staff Writer
Karen Hewitt, private investigator
and founder of Hewitt & Cowden
Investigations, recently addressed
criminal justice students, relating
personal experiences and giving a glimpse
into the life of a private instigations
career.
Hewitt was once a student in Dean
Kinney’s class and considers him as one of
her top five most influential teachers.
“I’m intimidated by speaking in front
of Mr. Kinney,” Hewitt said. “I still rely
heavily on the information he taught me.”
Hewitt began her speech by telling
the students how she got started in
investigative work and how she never
dreamed her career would take this path.
Hewitt began her career in the District
Attorney’s Office of Henderson County, as
a prosecutor against sexual abuse cases.
She said she started interviewing just the
victims, but after attending classes offered
by the East Texas Police Academy she
decided it might be best to interview the
suspect also; by doing this, she became the
chief investigating officer.
Many times the suspects would come into
the interrogation room on the defensive,
expecting a man to interview them.
Surprised, they would find Hewitt and
immediately loosen up and become cocky
thinking she wouldn’t do anything.
“I always used this to my advantage,”
Hewitt said. “I would worm my way in,
gaining their confidence by talking about
everything but the actual subject,” she
said. “Then I would hit them with the
question and about 85 percent of the time
they would open up and confess right
then.”
Hewitt thought this was excellent,
because it would keep children from
having to take the stand in court and
describe to a jury what happened.
After 10 years, she realized she was
becoming “numb” to the stories and
nothing bothered her anymore. She
immediately quit and moved to the
Dallas area where she went to work for a
law firm. Soon after, she moved into the
investigations department of the firm.
She then went back to school at the
University of North Texas, where the
counselors suggested she change her
major from secondary education to
criminal justice, considering her past work
experience.
Hewitt graduated with a degree in
criminal justice but debated going back to
work at the law firm, since she didn’t feel
she would properly use her degree.
She decided to apply for a job as a parole
officer. After many interviews she heard
some parolees criticizing her ex-husband
who was a prison warden. She quickly felt
that maybe that wouldn’t be the best work
environment for her.
Her current husband convinced her she
should open a private investigation firm,
so she approached her close friend Francis
Cowden, former real estate agent, to help
her open a PI firm.
“She didn’t have a law degree but she
was great at marketing,” Hewitt said
of Cowden. “So I taught her how to
investigate and she taught me how to
market.”
After some time, Cowden had to
leave the firm due to personal family
issues; however, she remains a licensed
investigator and part owner of Hewitt and
Cowden Investigations.
After telling about her firm, she began
explaining the requirements of becoming
a PI.
Hewitt said, in order to receive a PI
license in Texas one must have an
associate’s degree in criminal justice and
one year experience; a bachelor’s degree
and six months experience or three years
experience in investigations, either as
a police officer, criminal intelligence or
insurance investigations.
However, Hewitt and other PI officers
designed a private investigators course
through the University of North Texas to
prepare students for a PI career and teach
them everything they needed to know.
A growing trend among PIs is failing to
renew their license. According to Hewitt,
the No. 1 reason for this is because they
were unsuccessful at running an effective
business and being the investigator.
“This course will count as the experience
needed in order to get your license,”
Hewitt explained. “Our goal is to make you
a successful PI officer, as well as give you
the tools needed to run your business.”
Hewitt also explained that being a PI
officer meant a lot of surveillance work
which is sitting and watching people,
sometimes for an entire day. This is hard to
do because one must stay mentally focused
on watching this person, not playing
games, sleeping or anything--only intently
watching the person in question.
She also told stories of her experiences in
surveillance work, along with the risk of
surveillance, including receiving threats.
Despite the threats, Hewitt said many
times cases can be quite entertaining.
For example, Hewitt was running
surveillance on a client’s husband who
was supposedly cheating. Hewitt said she
watched the man for two weeks and he

never did anything other than go to work
and go home.
Hewitt explained this and showed her
reports to the wife; however, she continued
to argue saying she knew he was cheating
on her because there was a bag of condoms
in his business and every Saturday she
would count the condoms and every week
many would be missing.
Hewitt began laughing and continued
to explain that across the street from her
husband’s business was another business
that would give him condoms to hand out
free of charge to his customers.
“Most of the time our work is long and
boring,” Hewitt said. “Sometimes though,
it is full of unexpected twists that make it
fun.”
Hewitt then began explaining that most
of the information PIs use is public
information; they just know where to look.
She also answered questions about the pay
rate for PIs.
Hewitt said, private investigators can
charge around $100 per hour, sometimes
as much as $300 per hour for investigators
who specialize in a particular

Foreign player makes local mark
SARAH SULLIVAN
Staff Writer
As the shrill scuffles of
sneakers resonate through
the walls of Masters Gym,
the ball is passed and defended
as it dodges from teammate to
teammate until it reaches the
last pair of hands that will grasp
it before it meets the net. Lily
Abreu shoots the ball and, almost
effortlessly, scores another three
points for the Lady Rangers.
Abreu strives to play basketball,
as well as the game of life, with all
of the determination and passion
that has been instilled in her
through the past 20 years of her
life.
Abreu was raised in Santo
Domingo, the largest city in
the Dominican Republic with a
populous of nearly three million
people. While the republic is most
famous for producing major
league baseball players such as
Vladimir Guerrero and David
Ortiz, who grew up in Abreu’s old
neighborhood, volleyball is a very
popular sport for women.
Abreu is one of 23 children and
even though she originally began
her sports career as a volleyball
player, she attended basketball
games to support her older brother
Victor.
One day Abreu was playing
basketball with some of her friends
and Victor said she shouldn’t even
think about playing because it was
a “boys’ sport.”
“Since that day I said I was
going play just because he said
I couldn’t,” Abreu recalls with
a smirk of sibling rivalry and
determination.
After five years of hard work on
the court, she played for the Junior
National Team and was scouted by
a Texas A&M University recruiter.
The university wanted to bring her
to the United States to attend high
school in order to achieve a high
grade point average and graduate.
In 2007, with a passport in hand
and hope in her heart, she bid her
friends and family farewell and
boarded the plane to America.
Upon arrival she could not speak
any English but tried her best at
Campbell High School in Atlanta,
Ga. The following year she
transferred to Bush High School in
Houston.
Although she tried her best
academically, Abreu’s inability to

Lily Abreu, Dominican Republican sophomore, has overcome many obstacles in order to play for the Lady Rangers. Abreu was selected for the
All-Conference and All-Region teams for Regions XIV Women’s Basketball this season. As far as the Lady Rangers are concerned, she had the highest
three-point percentage (40 percent) and the most season points (325).
speak English hindered her, and
she was not able to achieve the
SAT scores needed to attend Texas
A&M. That is when Abreu moved
to Kilgore to become a student at
KC and a Lady Ranger.
Growing up in the Dominican
Republic did more than just
give her an exotic charisma; it
influenced the way she lives and
the way she plays the game.
“[The Dominican Republic is] a
poor country so everybody wants
to do something to survive,” Abreu
said.
She has seen what it is like to be
given very little in life and turn it
into something great.
“Because of where she comes
from she has seen those kids that
have nothing and then she comes
here to see kids taking things for
granted. She’s a fierce competitor
and there is nothing she can’t do,”
said Roy Thomas, Lady Rangers
“Nothing is impossible. Anything you
want in life is given to you through trust
in God.

head coach.
Abreu was recently named a
member of the Region XIV All-
Region and All-Conference teams.
The player claims she could have
achieved those titles during her
prior season, had fate not taken its
toll.
Four days prior to the start of the
2009-10 season, and her first time
to play for KC, her father, Jose Del
Carmen, passed away at age 76.
She had not been home for almost
one and a half years prior to that

home. Much of her focus for the
game was absorbed by the loss of
her father during that season.
But, despite the cards that life
has dealt, Abreu was finally able
to go home this past Christmas,
and she came back this season
more focused and determined
than ever. Her return gained her
recognition and proved that all of
her handwork and daily practices
are paying off.
“She works hard and has good
leadership skills. She’s feisty on
the court, and we can trust her if

there’s a situation where the game
gets tough at the end because she
has confidence,” said Jah-Leah
Ellis, Lady Rangers forward.
This is the last semester for
Abreu at KC and she will be
working this summer to transfer to
another college and continue with
her basketball career. The college
of her choosing is currently
uncertain.
“Nothing is impossible.
Anything you want in life is
given to you through trust in God.
You’ve got to work hard for your
dreams. I’m going to miss KC, the
team and all of the support that
our fans gave us,” Abreu said
with a smile, reminiscing her stay
here.
Thomas said, “She’s one that
will be missed – not because of
basketball but because of who she
is.”

Behind the scenes of Rangerette Revels ‘Just for Kicks’
Betsy Foreman
Staff Writer
After months of continuous labor each spring,
the Rangerettes showcase their versatility
in dance as well as singing and acting skills
for the public, Rangerette Forevers and KC alumni.
The performances are intended to be an entertaining
getaway for those who attend.
“Revels is like going to a really good movie, where
you realize for two hours you never thought about one
thing that was an issue or a problem, and you get up
and say I was completely taken away,” said Dana Blair,
Rangerette director.
Revels annually takes on a new personality with a new
theme. This year’s Revels theme is “Just for Kicks.”
It is intended to be a behind-the-scenes look at what
Rangerettes do for work and for play–an entertaining
glimpse into a Rangerette’s life.
“It’s about what we do in practice and what we do
in the dorms when we’re just being us,” said Katelyn
Norman, freshman Rangerette.
Revels showcases a wide array of dance technique
and talent. The Revels opening number is titled “Route
66,” Norman said, is a lively rock ’n’ roll number that
represents all the places they go when performing as
Rangerettes.
Each sophomore Rangerette earns the opportunity to
perform in at least three numbers.
Cassie Rowland, sophomore Rangerette and right
middle lieutenant, expressed her excitement in
performing in a sophomore Swingster performance
composed of an elite dance squad within the Rangerette
dance company.

The Rangerette Forevers
are hosting the Forever
Classic Golf Tournament at
the Meadowbrook Country
Club to raise money for
Rangerette scholarships.
The tournament swings
into action the same day as
the last day of Rangerette
Revels, Saturday, April 9.
(Above) The

number of Revels,

“Extravaganza.”
(Right) The ’Rettes

Tee-offs are at 8 a.m. and 1
p.m. and will end before the
start of Revels that evening.
Rangerette supporters
not directly involved in
preparing for Revels will
have something to do while
the others prepare for the
show.
“We are going to be busy,”
said Erin Oian, former
Rangerette and current
manager of the Gussie Nell
Davis Rangerette Residence.
The tournament is a twoman
scramble in which two
players try to get their ball
closest to the whole.
After each play, the best of
the two shots are selected
and both players play from
that spot until the ball is
played into the hole. One
team’s score is recorded.

individuals are sponsoring

The winner receives a free

A raffle is also being held.

Revels From Page 1B
The jazz band will not
perform this year. The
show will begin promptly
at 7 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m.
and 7 p.m. Saturday.
This year’s Revels is
dedicated to Erin Oian,
the Gussie Nell Davis
Rangerette Residence
adviser and former
Rangerette on the 61st line.
“Erin is a person who goes
above and beyond the call
of duty in every way for
those girls. She doesn’t just
manage that residence hall;
she is a mother, a sister and
friend to them,” Blair said.
A special performance
will pay tribute to Oian,
her sacrifices to care
for the needs of the
Rangerettes and the effort
she puts forth to make the
Rangerette Residence feel
like home.
The Rangerette Revels is
more than a performance
or a showcasing of skills.
Revels is a sentimental
time for all involved, as
Blair, Rowland and Norman
all agree.
For the Rangerette
Forevers, the Rangerette
alumna group, it is a big
reunion, Blair explained.
“For Rangerettes and
Forevers it takes on a
deeper meaning. Forevers
get to revisit their
Rangerette days and the
emotions they had during
Revels,” Rowland said.
Memories created at
Revels are treasured by
Rangerette freshmen,
sophomores and alumna
alike. Still, with Rangerette
Rangerette Forevers host golf tournament Saturday
and a golf bag included.
To purchase a raffle
ticket, go by the Rangerette
residence or call Oian at 903-
239-2844.
Rangerettes encourage
all in the community to
participate.
This is the first year for the
golf tournament to be held,
but Oian said it will be held
annually in the future.
Revels come some mixed
emotions.
“This is one of the most
exciting parts of being a
sophomore Rangerette,
considering this is our
last opportunity to dance
together as a whole and
with our class,” Rowland
said with misty eyes.
For one freshman, the
bittersweet experience of
Revels is evident.
In a voice cracking with
emotion, Norman said, “My
sophomores mean the world
to me, and I am not ready
for them to leave.”
All in all, Revels is a time
to enjoy for those who
attend performances and
those who perform.
It is a celebration of fun,
hard work and dedication
and of a sisterhood that
endures beyond future,
current or past Revels.

Erin Oian faced one
big challenge – breast cancer
This year’s Rangerette Revels is dedicated to
Erin Oian, the Gussie Nell Davis Rangerette
Residence adviser and former Rangerette.
The Rangerette organization decided to dedicate the
show to Oian because of her strength, perseverance
and dedication to the Rangerettes, even while facing
one of the biggest challenges of her life – breast cancer.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in February
of 2010, and battled the disease while maintaining
her duties as the resident manager of the Gussie Nell
Davis Rangerette Residence – a position she has held
since 2006.
Despite her year-long battle with breast cancer, she
managed to continue graduate school in addition to
working with the Rangerettes.
“During this last year, I have really grasped the fact
of how precious life is and how attitude is everything,”
Oian said. “When I heard the words ‘you have cancer,’
I froze for a few seconds, but thought I am not the first
woman that is going to go through this and sadly I am
not the last.”
Oian said that by staying positive, she tried to keep
her life as normal as possible – and the support and
strength she received from the Rangerette organization
were tremendous factors in her ability to remain
upbeat.
Erin was 3 years old when she first saw ’Rettes
perform. She proudly declared she wanted to be a
“kicking cowgirl.”
All these years she danced for the sole purpose of
helping her reach the goal she had set at age 3 – to be
a Rangerette.
In 2000, her dream came true when she earned her
spot on the 61st Rangerette line (2000-02).
She is an active member of Rangerettes Forever and
serves on the board as President-elect.
A month later, Oian was declared cancer-free. Oian,
said that she felt overwhelmed and touched by having
this year’s Revels dedicated to her.
“I did have moments of weakness, but on those days
that I would be lying in bed and not wanting to get up,
I would think of the 71 beautiful Rangerettes, and they
were my motivation to get up, to put myself together,”
Oian said. “A smile is contagious and with 71 smiles,
how could that not help me get through another day?”
Oian said she felt blessed not only by the support of
current Rangerettes, but also former Rangerettes and
Rangerette supporters who would call, write and “lend
a helping hand” when she was in need.
“Being surrounded by these people, I believe, has
been part of the reason for my health getting better
each day,” Oian said.

CHELSEA HOUGH
Assistant Editor
With to-do list in hand,
Dallas sophomore
Bonney Quine
prepares to take on another
busy day. With Revels in full
swing, life has never been
busier for a Rangerette. But
for Quine, balancing multiple
activities has become a way of
life.
Along with her ’Rette duties,
Quine keeps herself busy
by going to the gym, taking
photographs and planning her
wedding.
While these things keep her constantly
going, the wedding plans have actually
been pretty easy so far.
“The wedding isn’t until December so
I have a little bit of time. I’m honestly
not too worried about it,” Quine said. “I
went home in December and was playing
around with my sisters. We went looking
for a dress and the first one I tried on was
the one. It’s been pretty awesome. God has
just placed things in my path; I haven’t had
to search for them very hard.”
With so much to focus, Quine is a
proclaimed user of to-do lists. Although
these days, her lists consist mostly of
rehearsals for Revels.
“Rangerettes does take up a lot of time,”
Quine said. “It is a lifestyle; it’s not just a
hobby, but it’s worth it.”
In addition to time management, Quine
has learned quite a bit, thanks to being a
XNOW
OPEN!
part of the ’Rettes.
“It really teaches you to be responsible for
not only yourself, but the people around you.
Everyone’s accountable for everyone. We
are definitely a team,” Quine said. “It also
teaches you incredible discipline and poise.
[Being a ’Rette] teaches you how to handle
yourself in several different situations – as
far as what to say in certain situations.”
Quine has been studying photography and
taking pictures in her spare time for the past
three years.
During her time here, she has taken classes
from O. Rufus Lovett, photography instructor.
“Senior year I started taking more photos
so that I could draw from my own photos,”
“It also teaches you incredible discipline and
poise. [Being a ’Rette] teaches you how to handle
yourself in several different situations.

Bonney Quine, Dallas sophomore and current Rangerette, takes on a busy life being a ’Rette, a photographer and planning her wedding in December. (Below) Quine dances in her solo “Swingin’.”
Quine said. “Then I came here and one
of my sophomores suggested Rufus and I
jumped right into it. I loved it and I loved
learning from him. It’s awesome. I’m really
going to miss Rufus and the photography
[program] for sure.”
Since she has been involved in art since
age 7 and dance since the age of 3, Quine
has tried to combine her love of art, dance
and photography.
“It’s really how can you look at things
differently than they’ve been seen before
– something people wouldn’t expect,”
Quine said.
Quine uses her love of photography to

rehearsals, which according to her, aren’t
always 100 percent serious.
Quine says the ’Rettes have weekly
motivations, which sometimes include
dressing up for different themes, to keep the
women focused in a fun way.
“I think the directors (Mrs. Blair and
Mrs. Wayne) like that we can have this
professional side, but we don’t lose how
to joke and play around,” Quine said. “I
honestly think that these directors are
the most amazing people. I think that they
deserve the utmost respect and they get the
utmost respect from all of us. I think what
they do is amazing. They inspire us and
that’s how Revels turns out the way it does.”
