Look shot, feel shot, he shot; that’s Mike Collins burning up the keys. He would rather bum Mrs. Bobo. It’s four-thirty-five in the afternoon and Mrs. Bobo wants that English term paper by midnight. His sleepy look is a “left over from last night’s vigil. Good luck, Mike! Seen ready for action are the girls that operate the student bank. Seated left to right are Joyce LeGrande, Patsy Duke, Anne Treadaway, Joellen Owens, Margie Gordon, and Barbara Eckel. Standing left to right are Miss Cato, adviser of the group, Carolyn Goodwin, Mary Frances Day, Gail Swanner, Barbara Wright, Max Coleman, Betty Durham, and Mary Gomillion. Mrs. Christine Forrester, one of the AHS English teachers, has an A.B. degree from Howard College and an M.A. degree from the University of Kentucky. An English and French teacher, Mrs. Margaret Bobo has an A.B. degree from Newberry College. An A.B. graduate of Erskine College and an M.A. graduate of Emory University, Mrs. Helen Butler teaches Latin and French. Mrs. Ernestine Law, who has an A.B. degree from Winthrop College, teaches English. Having a B.S. degree from Bob Jones University, Mrs. Ann Casey is a teacher of English and Speech. Another English teacher, Mrs. Flora Meadows, has an A.B. degree from Marshall College. That’s it! Throw caution to the wind just this once and let those papers go. Enjoying a quick game before getting down to the grind of correcting papers are Mrs. Bobo. Mrs. Butler, Miss Gunter, and Miss Barlow. When the language teachers—Mrs. Christine Forrester, Mrs. Margaret Bobo, Mrs. Helen Butler, Mrs. Ernestine Law, Mrs. Ann Casey, and Mrs. Flora Meadows—get together to enjoy a “coke”, one wonders if they really speak English.
