Baptism held at the Tucker Rice Well A baptism at the Tucker rice well in 1949. The well was located in what is today a portion of the CenterPoint parking lot, east of the Sonic. You can see the rice driers in the background. Dorothy (Stockdick) Scott is holding Ron Scott, Pleasant (Garrett) Stockdick, is holding the umbrella.
Pictured is Jim Horn’s Stinson 105 that he used to fly flaggers to and from the rice fields, as well as fly the farmers to show the lay of the land before spraying. It is parked on Horn KatyHawk Airfield. There were two gates to get into the airstrip, one was off the I-10 feeder road near where Discount Tire is today. Horn operated his crop dusters from the 1960’s to late 1970’s and was well known in the rice farming communities. He also took most
Texas House continues to strengthen students' college and career readiness flexibility in their coursework. Students can tailor their courses to better reflect their own goals for college and career success. The legislation recognized that in today’s economy, there are numerous ways to prepare for productive careers, such as attending a four-year university, a community college or a technical college. “Two years ago, we enacted reforms that will better prepare students for success after high school,” said Straus. “Now is the
time to build on those achievements. This effort will help educators provide effective guidance to students as they prepare for college and the workforce. That guidance is critical because the economy is consistently and rapidly changing and because many students will be the first in their families to attend college.” In this session, the House will propose stipends for high school counselors who receive training focused on the increasingly di-
verse educational and career options awaiting students. “Across the state, counselors indicate they want more information to better prepare their students for success after high school,” said House Public Education Committee Chairman Jimmie Don Aycock. “Giving students effective, relevant guidance is a key component of helping them make the most of the opportunities that today’s economy presents.”

The Texas House is continuing to strengthen college and career readiness in the legislative session by providing additional training for high school guidance counselors, according to House Speaker Joe Straus. The House initiative builds on the successes of House Bill 5, a major education reform measure that the Legislature passed unanimously in 2013. HB 5 changed high school graduation requirements to allow students more
of the old aerial photographs we have today. When a pump failed on one of Horn’s water trucks (used to mix crop dusting chemicals), he got permission to land his crop duster on the new and unopened portion of I-10 at Pin Oak Road. He would have his crew drive the water/chemical truck to the top of Pin Oak Bridge and drop the hose down so when he landed underneath the bridge, gravity would feed the chemicals to the plane.
