2 lara Driscoll, Alamo Hero [1] In 1943, a huge mansion was given to the Texas Fine Arts Association. Today, it is a monument to Texas history and art. It is now a museum and art school and honors a famous Texan, lara Driscoll. [2] lara Driscoll was a businesswoman and author. The daughter of a wealthy rancher, lara went to school in New York and Paris during the early 1900s. She was a lively red head with a fighting spirit. When she returned to Texas in 1903, lara heard that part of the Alamo would be sold to build a new hotel. She worked feverishly to save the Alamo by collecting donations to buy the land. She was not able to raise the entire amount she needed. lara added her own money to save the Alamo. To honor lara, the government placed her picture in the apitol Building. [3] She was the second woman in Texas history to receive that honor. In 1905, the State of Texas repaid lara. She continued to raise money for the Alamo in the coming years. [4] While still in her twenties, lara wrote two books, In the Shadow of the Alamo and Girl of LaGloria. In 1906, her play, Mexicana, was produced in New York. During that year, lara married Henry Servier, a Texas state representative. [5] lara was interested in helping to shape a better state for Texans. She became active in countless social activities and charities. [6] During her life, she always found ways to help improve the lives of others. She worked with her husband to start the first public library in Austin. She was president of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. lara made it possible for tourists to visit the Alamo free of charge. When she died in 1945, she left her fortune to build a hospital for the poor. [7] We are proud to carry on lara Driscoll s spirit of Texas. Bibliography: Eckhardt, harlie.

5 Where Is Tinkerbell? The following could be a scene from a play about Peter Pan. Wendy is in her room at home asleep. Peter is standing over a jar, seemingly pleading with the jar for something: PETER: Please come out of that jar and tell me where my shadow is? (tinkling from the jar) PETER: Is it in the big box, really? (Peter jumps up and looks in the drawer of the dresser for a box. He sees his shadow and tries to attach it, but it doesn t work. Peter starts to cry. Wendy wakes up.) WENDY: (with sympathy) Oh, you poor boy. Why are you crying? (Peter gets up and comes over to Wendy. Wendy, who hasn't seen Peter before, is curious but bows to him in welcome, keeping him a safe distance away from her.) PETER: What s your name? WENDY: Wendy What s your name? PETER: Peter Pan. WENDY: Where do you live? PETER: Second on the right, and then straight on until morning. WENDY: What a funny address! Is that what they put on letters that people try to send you? PETER: Well, I don t usually get any letters. WENDY: But surely your mother gets letters, doesn t she? PETER: I don t have a mother. WENDY: O Peter, no wonder you were crying! (Wendy runs over to hug Peter.) PETER: I was crying because I can t get my shadow to stick on. Besides, I wasn't really crying. Page 5
6 WENDY: Your shadow came off? PETER: Yes. WENDY: How awful! I think the only way to get it back on is to sew it on! PETER: What does that mean sew it on? WENDY: You re awfully silly. I will sew it on for you. (gets out her sewing kit) I think it might hurt a little bit. PETER: Oh, I won t cry. (When the shadow is attached, Peter jumps around happily.) PETER: How smart I am! WENDY: You conceited little boy! Of course I did nothing, I guess! PETER: Oh, don t be so touchy. You did a little bit. WENDY: How old are you, Peter, anyway? PETER: I don't know, but I am very young. Wendy, I ran away from home the day I was born. (Wendy is very surprised, but interested.) PETER: I heard my parents talking about what I was going to be when I grew up. I don t want to ever grow up. I want to be a little boy and have fun my whole life! So I ran away and lived with the fairies. WENDY: Oh, Peter! Tell me everything about the fairies! PETER: You see, Wendy, when a baby laughs for the first time, its laugh breaks into millions of pieces, and they all go flying about, and that s how fairies are born. WENDY: So there are more fairies than there are people, right? PETER: No. You see children know so much now, they don't believe in fairies, and every time a child says 'I don't believe in fairies,' there is a fairy somewhere that falls down. (Peter looks around searching) I can't think where Tink has gone Tink! Page 6
7 WENDY: Peter, is there a fairy in my room! PETER: She was here just a minute ago. You don't hear her, do you? (They both listen.) WENDY: The only sound I hear is like a tinkling, like bells. PETER: Oh, that's Tink, that's the fairy language. I think I hear her, too. Oh, I think I shut her up in the drawer! (He lets poor Tinkerbell out of the drawer, and she flies about the room flapping her wings wildly.) WENDY: Oh Peter, if she would only stand still and let me see her! PETER: Tink, this lady says she wants to see a fairy. (Tinkerbell answers angrily, but only Peter can hear her.) WENDY: What does she say, Peter? PETER: She is not very polite. She says you are an ugly girl, and that she is my fairy. You know you can't be my fairy, Tink, that is against the rules. (Tinkerbell flies out the window, and Wendy turns to Peter wondering what will happen next.) Page 7
