Juanita and Jerry Wright are
completing degree work at Texas
A&M this summer, proving not
all the idealism, enthusiasm and
desire to institute meaningful
change belong to those on the
teenage side of 30.
The Arkansas school teachers
expect to graduate with master’s
degrees this month.
It’s taken sacrifice by the 51-
year-old graduate student and
his wife. They taught during
the school year and studied
summers at A&M four years.
“We can’t complain,” the ener
getic Arkansas Senior High sci
ence teacher of Texarkana com
mented. “In fact, it’s been
wonderful. Everything worked
out so both of us could use my
grant.”
Common sense, careful plan
ning and limiting luxuries en
abled the former Cotton Belt
Railroad yard clerk and his wife
to achieve their degrees on
Wright’s assistantship. It is
sponsored by Southwest Electric
Power and the Schlumberger
Foundation.
They stretched it further this
year, sharing College View
apartment study space with their
20-year-old son Tim, youngest of
three children.
Juanita had her master’s de
gree oral examination last week
and has only to present a soci
ology term paper for her ele
mentary education degree with
a specialty in remedial reading.
“We’re going to miss not pack
ing for A&M study next sum
mer,” he remarked. “We are
thinking about enrolling later
for one session each summer, but
not for a couple of years.”
First, he says, will be putting
in an irrigation well for the fam
ily garden. Then there are some
Red River fish that have been
missing the Wright influence.
Arkansas Senior High’s 1969-
70 school year promises more
challenge. Jerry, who decided
as a high school sophomore that
education was vital, has been
made science department chair
man on the basis of his advanced
degree work.
Mrs. Wright is a remedial
reading specialist for Pleasant
Grove and Oak Grove schools.
She will have more curriculum
and testing program responsi
bility.
The silver-haired teachers es
tablished a policy of sharing
studies since he worked nights
in a Shreveport railroad yard
and studied days for an associ
ate degree at Texarkana Junior
College.

What
makes them
happy ?
Copyright I960 Keister
Advertising Servire. Inc., Slrnsburg, Vn
In our experience there is one place
where you can be sure of seeing happy
faces.
It isn’t the bank—though certainly
we have great respect for our banks.
There people look intent, busy, serious
with the financial responsibilities of life.
Nor is it at the ball game. There is no
joy in Mudville when mighty Casey
strikes out.
But when you go to church you see
so many happy faces! It is as though
people had left their troubles behind
them . . . their fears . . . their worries
. . . their little sadnesses and great
sorrows.
Yet we know that no one can really
leave these behind him. They are part
of our life—and our life goes with us
wherever we go.
But church is a place where men come
to share their burdens with Someone
Else . . . someone who cares . . . who helps
. . . who strengthens.
And this kind of sharing between
man and God has always been the
root of true happiness.
