CI E . Xi -sp vs. 5 Q... Q sw , -Q.. LL Many years ago a teacher's du- ties were much different than they are today. Early every morning the teacher had to enter a cold school- house and fire the furnace, sweep the floor, clean the blackboards, and attend to other duties that are now done by janitors, besides the regular teaching duties. These days are now gone by. There are many former teachers in the A1Wood community who cherish these days in their hearts. Miss Sophie Taylor, a former music teacher, has guided many residents of this community in their first attempts at leaming their scales. Although she is now retired, she holds the education of toda 's ou.n Y Y 8 people in very high esteem. In order to encourage scholarship she annually presents S100 to the valedictorian of each graduating class. On behalf of the AlWood stud- ents we would like to thank Miss Taylor for her continued interest in developing scholarship. dministration Administration and faculty wives, Mrs. Fischer and Mrs. Riggle donned these old-time costumes for the centennial style show. Mrs. Riggle's gown is the one worn by Mr. Riggle's great-grandmother at her wedding in the early l800's.
