The light of friendship is like the light of phosphorus, seen plainest when all around is dark. Headed by Mr. Cooper, superintendent, and Mr. McBride, principal, the high school faculty for the year of ’46 consisted of eight members. There were two replacements made dur- ing the year. Richard Scott took Mrs. Mary Rose Browning’s position after her departure to Hawaii, and Mrs. Elizabeth Tullis was re- placed by Mrs. Audrey Holzum when Mrs. Tullis left to join her husband in Iowa. The first semester faculty included Mr. Cooper, English I; Mr. McBride, mathematics and sciences; Mrs. Browning, English depart- ment; Mrs. Tullis, commercial department, and Mr. Adams, vocational agriculture.
