They had two of the sweetest Labrador retrievers that I had ever known, Molly and Samba. Molly was a heavier set dog. My grandma always gave her too many treats. Molly was the kind of dog you could hear coming just by her heavy breathing and her hefty paws on the hardwood floor. She was an expert at sneaking ice cream out of…

Saludos Amigos During the 1930s and into the 1940s, the United States intervened in Latin American countries on mutual grounds. Their policy was known as Good Neighbor, and created a relationship where both parties benefited. The United States agreed not to intervene in any foreign affairs of Latin America, with the improved importation of goods as well.

Jazz Night Concert Report The concert that I chose to attend was Jazz Night which was held at the Arnette Scott Ward performing Arts Center on the Pecos campus. I decided to show up to this performance because I have always had an appreciation for the skill and talent it requires to play an instrument. I was pleased by the concert because I heard a wide spectrum of timbre, and I was especially thrilled because I got to hear the brassy sound given off by the trumpets. I used to be a trumpet…

The concert was label to be of the Jazz…
