proud tradition of supporting area youth continues in 2014. Each year, deserving students are selected for the following programs: college scholarship, Youth Tour to Wash- ington, D. C., and Energy Camp in west- ern Oklahoma. With so many promising entries, it was a diffi cult task to narrow the selections. Northeast Oklahoma Electric Cooperative is pleased to intro- duce the 2014 recipients.


Scholarships The cooperative off ers four $1,000 scholarships to high school seniors in its four-county service territory. The schol- arship may be used for any university or college of the student’s choosing. Selecting only four from the many outstanding applicants is a diffi cult task undertaken by the cooperative’s scholar- ship committee. Their selections are: Jamie Jennings of Quapaw, Dally Clark of Colcord, Erin Sipes of Salina, and Lexie Baker of Bluejacket. Join us in congratu- lating these outstanding and deserving graduates.

Jeremy Radebaugh, OSSM Advanced Placement Calculus instructor, is confi dent in her abilities. “Jamie is one of twenty students from the local high schools in this area of the state to qualify for and accept the academic opportunity off ered by OSSM regional centers,” he said. “Several teachers and students at Quapaw told me that Jamie was a special kind of stu- dent and was extremely gifted mathe- matically. To be honest, I hear that a lot. Most of the time, it is an exaggeration. In this case, I think people underestimat- ed Jamie.”


Jamie has been active is several ex- tracurricular activities, including serving as captain of Quapaw’s academic team. In her free time, she enjoys art, music, and assisting her father with a research project to economically extract zinc from the mine tailings at Picher. Dally Clark
