H.R. No. 1027



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, On May 10, 2003, members of the Prairie View A&M 
University Class of 1953 are holding their 50th college reunion, 
and this singular occasion promises to be a memorable event for all 
those in attendance; and
	WHEREAS, More than 800 young men and women eagerly began 
their college journey together in 1949 as freshmen at Prairie View 
A&M; since their graduation day a half-century ago, these proud 
alumni have pursued their careers in such diverse fields of 
endeavor as medicine, law, public service, education, social work, 
business, and the military; and
	WHEREAS, Today, the men and women of the Class of 1953 
continue to benefit their communities and their alma mater through 
the gifts of their time and resources; while some graduates chose to 
make Waller County their home after leaving college, others 
traveled further afield, though Waller County would forever hold a 
special place in their hearts; and
	WHEREAS, Gathered together again, Prairie View A&M 
University graduates are rekindling old friendships and bringing 
former classmates up-to-date, and there will doubtless be much 
laughter and some tears as they reminisce and regale one another 
with the trials and triumphs of the years that have passed since 
they proudly donned their caps and gowns; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate the members of Prairie View A&M 
University's Class of 1953 on the occasion of their 50th college 
reunion and extend to them warmest best wishes for a meaningful and 
joyous celebration.

                                                                           Hegar

	I certify that H.R. No. 1027 was adopted by the House on May 
6, 2003, by a non-record vote.
