Bailey contributed generously of his time and his efforts ln ad- vancing education in his state and community. With a warm, human wisdom and good-natured understanding he served the Sikeston schools for thirty-six years. For two years, 1910-11 and 1911-12, he was superintendent of Sikeston schools. From 1912 until the time of his death he acted as secretary of the Board of Educa- tion. VVhile he was superintendent, he created an interest in athletics and was among the first to introduce basketball and football, He was familiar to faculty and students for his frequent addresses to the school, his visits, and his wise counseling. In October, 1947, a Certificate of Appreciation by the Southeast Missouri Teachers' Association was presented to him for his long record of service to the schools of the state. The Bailey School bears his name as a fitting tribute to his work. 1 1 ' 1 gD1LIZCLFGfi Lgffme Left to Right-Genie Blanton, janet Farrell, Carolyn Corlew, Jean Baker, Ruth Tidwell, Betty Waldman, Mary Ellen Russell, Amy Lee Clinton, Acting Principal Electa O'Hara, Mara Lee Cotten, Frances Ingram.
