She later worked as a secretary and artist for Lt. Governor and then Governor George Nigh.

Today is Thursday, March 26, 2009. I’m in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma interviewing Betty Price. This interview is being conducted as part of the Inductees of the Oklahoma Women’s Hall of Fame Oral History Project. Betty Price was inducted into the Oklahoma Women’s Hall of Fame in 1985. Thank you for joining us today. Price It’s a pleasure to be here. Nykolaiszyn Well, let’s begin by learning more about you. Could you start with where you grew up and give us a little background into your early life? Price I was born in Booneville, Arkansas and lived with my family in Shawnee, Oklahoma and El Paso, Texas. Then we moved to Muskogee. I was ready for first grade and so I started school in Muskogee and that’s where our home was after that. Nykolaiszyn So tell me a little bit about the school you attended growing up as a young girl in Muskogee. Price Well, I attended Longfellow, what we called grade school in those days, and West Junior High School and Central High School in Muskogee. I loved school, and of course, we thought Longfellow was the best of all schools. Nykolaiszyn Now was Longfellow quite large or very small? Price It was a large school. At that time we didn’t have kindergarten, so we started first grade and that’s where we made a lot of our lifetime friendships. Nykolaiszyn What were some of your favorite subjects growing up? 4 Price Well, I loved art and music, and I liked spelling. In high school, I liked Spanish—that was a lot of fun. I also was involved in journalism. I have a story about this; my father had so wanted me to be a teacher that when I decided I was going to take typing in high school, he tried to stand in the way of that because he didn’t want me to become a secretary. As things happened in my life, it was the ability to be the co-editor of the high school newspaper in Muskogee and then going to Northeastern State University, I received a scholarship the second year to be the editor of the college newspaper even though I was a music major. It just worked out great. Nykolaiszyn Wow, did you think you had a career in journalism budding? Price Well, I didn’t think so, because my father wanted me to be a teacher as I said. And he and Mother both had convinced me that I should be a music teacher, and so that’s what I planned to do for my career. Nykolaiszyn So growing up, did you play any instruments [or have] music classes? Price We had a rule in our house that we couldn’t touch the piano keys until we were in the second grade. Mother would play for us, but we didn’t get to touch the piano. Then, in second grade we could take piano lessons. I had a tyrant for a teacher, Miss Mary de Graffenreid, she taught violin and piano. She was a very tough teacher. I used to play, I remember, just thinking I’m doing this so well, I wish Miss de Graffenreid would come up on the porch and hear me playing. She always made me a little nervous, I think. But we had recitals and they were a lot of fun. I had fun doing a lot of different things, in the pep squad, and being the co-editor of the newspaper for our high school in Muskogee really took me away from my music somewhat. We had chorus, as well, so I was always participating in that. But it was fun to be involved with the school newspaper and then fun again to be involved with it at college, although it was hard work. Nykolaiszyn You mentioned your parents did not want you to become a secretary. They wanted you to become a teacher. Growing up back then, what were career options for women outside of teaching? Price Career options were being a nurse, a secretary, or a teacher. That was basically what you could choose from. With all of my emphasis on music, it just seemed like a good idea that I teach. I taught my first year at Norman and I was a music teacher for two schools every day. I had all of the students in those two schools. But it was a great time at OU [University of Oklahoma] and I enjoyed that and Norris finished his 5 degree there. The second year I taught second grade and that was in Del City. We settled in and Norris went into real estate at that time. But this business of typing, I got my scholarship with my ability to be the editor of the newspaper, the Northeastern. And that way I stayed in school and got my music degree and I was the Outstanding Senior Woman, of which my parents were very proud. Nykolaiszyn Well, that’s great you had that funding to go to school, because I’m sure at that time it was hard in Oklahoma. Price It was. It really was. I had a brother and a sister and we all had to be educated. My father worked for the post office and that was why we had moved to Shawnee, El Paso, and then Muskogee. My brother became a doctor and my sister lives here in Oklahoma City and is my dearest friend. Nykolaiszyn And are you the oldest, middle, or youngest? Price I am the oldest.

  • A Tribute to Betty Price Thank You, Betty
    IMPROVING LIVES THROUGH THE ARTSNEWSLETTER OF THE OKLAHOMA ARTS COUNCIL FALL 2007 Thank You, Betty or 33 years, Betty Price has been the voice of the Oklahoma Arts Council. Recently retired Fas Executive Director, Price has been at the helm of this state agency for most of its existence. We couldn’t think of anyone more eloquent than her good friend, Judge Robert Henry to celebrate Betty and her passionate commitment to Oklahoma and to the arts. We join Judge Henry and countless friends in wishing Betty a long, happy and productive retirement. A Tribute to Betty Price From Judge Robert Henry ur great President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once noted: “To further the appreciation of Oculture among all the people, to increase respect for the creative individual, to widen participation by all the processes and fulfillments of art -- this is one of the fascinating challenges of these days.” Betty Price took that challenge more seriously than any other Oklahoman. And, it is almost impossible to imagine what Oklahoma’s cultural landscape would look like without her gentle, dignified, and incredibly Betty in front of the We Belong to the Land mural by Jeff Dodd. persistent vision. Photo by Keith Rinerson forMattison Avenue Publishing Interim Director. Finally, she was selected by the Council to serve as its Executive Director. Betty, it seems, has survived more Oklahoma governors than any institution except our capitol; she has done it with unparalleled integrity and artistic accomplishment.

  • The Jamison Galleries Collection
    THE JAMISON GALLERIES COLLECTION BETTY W. AND ZEB B. CONLEY PAPERS New Mexico Museum of Art Library and Archives Dates: 1950 - 1995 Extent: 7.33 linear feet Contents Part One. Materials on Artists and Sculptors Part Two. Photographs of Works Part Three. Additional Material Revised 01/11/2018 Preliminary Comments The Jamison Galleries [hereafter referred to simply as “the Gallery”] were located on East Palace Avenue, Santa Fe, from August 1964 until January 1993, at which time it was moved to Montezuma Street. There it remained until December 1997, when it closed its doors forever. Originally owned by Margaret Jamison, it was sold by her in 1974 to Betty W. and Zeb B. Conley. The Library of the Museum of Fine Arts is indebted to the couple for the donation of this Collection. A similar collection was acquired earlier by the Library of the records of the Contemporaries Gallery. Some of the artists who exhibited their works at this Gallery also showed at The Contemporaries Gallery. Included in the works described in this collection are those of several artists whose main material is indexed in their own Collections. This collection deals with the works of a vast array of talented artists and sculptors; and together with The Contemporaries Gallery Collection, they comprise a definitive representation of southwestern art of the late 20th Century. Part One contains 207 numbered Folders. Because the contents of some are too voluminous to be limited to one folder, they have been split into lettered sub-Folders [viz. Folder 79-A, 79-B, etc.]. Each numbered Folder contains material relating to a single artist or sculptor, all arranged — and numbered — alphabetically.

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.
