Much improvement was made in the elementary school, but perhaps the most noticeable one was the remodeling of Mrs. McGowan's office. Shelves were built on all the walls so that the Elementary School Library could be housed there. Her office is now color- ful and attractive. 4 Y-of who .- , ,giwyll SOME OF OUR DREAMS COME TRUE. After several years of dreaming, planning, and working hard, we at Comer School reached a goal this year. During the early fall there was an air of expectation in our school as we saw the final preparation being made for our evaluation by teachers from all over the state of Alabama. Our class members helped prepare booklets and decorate rooms. We played an important part in the improvement of our school. Finally, the great week came, October 27-31, 1952 when all our visitors were with us. We became friends with them during their short stay and found them to be very fine people. It was a pleasure to have them in our classes and activities. Of course, we waited breathlessly for their approval and were happy when we learned that they did pass us to the next step. This final step was at a meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools which met in Memphis, Tennessee, in Decem ber, 1952. We passed that hurdle, too. We will never forget the feeling of pride and accomplishment that we had when Coach Barton called us to the auditorium and told us that Mr. McCully had just called from Memphis to say that were accepted as a member of the Southern Association. iq, L .,..' f..-, ' ...,.... ,, l 5--eff? UFFICE The office of the principal was remodeled also. We see Mrs. Green in her private inner office where she has a new desk, new cabinet space, new electric typewriter, and electric adding machine. This new office space makes it possible for her and her student assistants to do a more efficient job than ever.
