What’s the Reason Behind America’s Student Loan Debt Crisis? There are many reasons behind the higher demand for student loans, but one of the most significant ones is an increase in tuition and fees. Over the last few decades, tuition fees have spiraled out of control. The reports show that costs of higher education have tripled, and to make things even worse, that’s after adjusting for inflation.
Those receiving scholarships from the Henderson County 4-H Program include Robert (Justin) Jones, son of Jeff and Penny Jones of Athens and Christopher Childress, son of Bryan and Sherry Childress of Eustace.

The Sarah Maples Chapter of DAR met at the Cedar Creek Library in Seven Points to hear our speaker for the month of April. Ellen Samek was our speaker and her topic was the Texas First Ladies Gown Collections at TWU. The Collection is much more than a chronology of fashion. Progressing from the 1800s through industrialization of the 1900s, the First Ladies of Texas have become icons of grace and compassion. Each woman leaves her own legacy, but all share common threads that seamlessly stitch together Texas’ First Ladies’ assorted patchwork of experience.
TWU hopes that visitors will also see the Collection as a springboard into the living history of Texas Women. Texas Women’s University will welcome you to enjoy this fascinating collection of gowns and encourages you to see beyond the heirloom garments and into the chambers of Texas past.
