Sept. 29, 1922 Large crowds are in attendance at the Revival Meeting held in the tabernacle back of the Methodist Church. Baptist, Presbyterians, Disciples, Episcopalians, and Methodist are mixing and shaking hands like the brethren that they are. Everybody seems to be having a good time, and enthusiasm is beginning to manifest itself even at this early date. Present indications point to large success.
The service of song under the leadership of J.L. Trussell, a live wire from the Baptist Theological Seminary, is very much enjoyed as are also his solos. He sings every evening just before the preacher takes his text.
One of the first movements of the week was the organization of a Junior choir composed of children from nine to 12. This choir immediately took up the singing of some new songs with their leader and are showing their interest by a full attendance each night.

Oct. 4, 1997 By a margin of almost two-to-one, voters in the Dublin ISD have approved a $4 million bond issue for construction of a new high school.
In spite of heavy early voting, the total vote was lighter than many observers had predicted. A total of 1,019 votes were cast: 671 in favor and 348 opposed.
The $4 million bond issue willhelpfinanceconstruction of a $6.5 million facility. The remaining $2.5 million will come from the district’s reserve funds.
The new 84,000-squarefoot facility should be completedin1999,perhapsin time for the spring semester. The actual timetable will depend on selling the bond, approval by the state’s attorney general and the construction bid process.
