hen Mrs. Louise Whiting, a 1922 graduate of Albany High School and Albany Herald columnist, was asked how her high school days differed from the present ones, she made the following observations in her column “This ‘n’ That”: “The boys and girls attended separate classes, I reported, and the teachers came to us, we remained in our classrooms... Spectators didn’t sit in stands at the football games, but ran up and down the sidelines, cheering wildly or moaning dejectedly. There was no gymnasium in the high school, basketball practice and games were held at the YMCA (the old Y at the corner of Pine and Jefferson).” Some additional information concerning the early days of Albany schools was included in an unpublished paper by Mrs. Mabel Hogue, Albany High’s first librarian. In an interview with Mrs. Cyril Elliss, the former Bessie Bruce Harris, who attended Albany schools from the first grade through Albany High School and who also taught in the Albany schools, Mrs. Hogue learned that in the early days teachers were paid $45.00 a month for nine months and that women teachers had to resign if they married.
