Mr. Gunter was born in Troy, Alabama, where he graduated from high school and Troy State University. Later, he attended the University of Alabama and Auburn University. While at Auburn he received his M.A. Degree and completed work for his six year certificate at Florida State University. He taught and coached basketball at Andalusia High School in Andalusia, Alabama, before coming to Jordan in 1941. Soon after coming to Jordan, he became the Diversified Cooperative Training coordinator and has been in this field ever since. His DCT Club has been noted for many outstanding awards throughout the years. Three of his students have been selected as the best in the state. The DCT Club has been selected the most outstanding club in the state for nine years. In 1965, a national vocational club was organized and through his leadership Jordan students were again outstanding. One student was selected Regional Vice President and in 1968, a Jordan student served as National VICA President. In addition to Mr. Gunter's DCT work, he has been active in sponsoring many school floats; some of which won first place. He has also worked faithfully, printing many school booklets. In the community, he has been active in projects for the underprivileged youth of Columbus and has al- ways been an active church member. It is with great honor and devotion that the 1969 Red Jacket is dedicated to Mr. Richard W. Gunter. 6
