Former Residents Graduate In Texas

May 2000 will be well remembered by the Price family of Longview, Texas, formerly of the DeAnn Community west of Prescott. During this month, two of the Price daughters were given special recognition by their respective schools.

Sarah Price, graduating from Hallsville (Texas) High School on May 27, is one of 48 honor students from a class of 255.

On May 11 at a special awards program she received five awards, ranging from outstanding chemistry I student to superintendent's honor roll for making all A's during her four years.

Sarah also received three scholarships: Rotary Club, Weidmer-Byars (honoring past teachers) and alumni. She will be using these scholarships at SAU in Magnolia, where she plans to take a double major in math and kinesiology.

Casey Price Schubert graduated Magna Cum Laude May 12 from Texas A&M in Kingsville,Texas, with a bachelor of science in kinesiology and special interest in math. She was also recognized for being a member of Alpha Chi, honorary academic society.

Prior to attending Texas A&M, Casey graduated from Blinn Junior College in Brenham, Texas, with associate degrees in both arts and science. She attended both institutions on athletic scholarships and was on the basketball team at both.

A third daughter, Rebecca Price Jamerson, will be a senior at Georgetown University in Georgetown, Texas, this fall. She is attending on an academic scholarship. Rebecca plans to continue her education after graduation by obtaining a master degree in biology.

The fourth Price daughter, Rhonda Price Baker, is a graduate of Texas A&M at College Station, Texas. She is currently a high school science teacher at Gilmer, Texas, and will continue in this position next year. She will also be coaching freshman basketball.

All four of these young women attended Prescott or Emmet Schools prior to moving to Texas.

They are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Price. Mr. Price will be remembered as long-time resident engineer with the Arkansas Highway Department.

The proud grandparents of this quartet are Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Price of Hickory Plains and Mr. and Mrs. Byron Richburg of the DeAnn community.
