Miss Mary R. Goff In 1911 a new teacher arrived at Char- lotte who from the moment she entered the building has been invaluable to everyone in the school. This teacher is Miss Mary R. Goff. Miss Goff was graduated from high school with a definite dislike for history. She con- tinued her schooling at Cary Seminary. fShe still disliked history.J She later attended Buf- falo Normal School and Columbia University. Somewhere in the interim she lost her dis- like for the subiect of history, in fact, she majored in history at Columbia and there received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Upon her arrival at Charlotte, Miss Goff became science teacher, history teacher and nurse since there was no regular nurse in attendance. Later she relinquished her extra duties and taught social studies only. Miss Goff has many gratifying hobbies. Her interest in other people and lands has carried her to Nova Scotia, Canada, Ber- muda, and through most of Western Europe, as well as throughout the United States. Another of her absorbing interests is the theater. If there is something good in town Miss Goff can usually be counted upon to be there. ln point of service, Miss Goff is Charlotte's senior teacher. Nevertheless, to her pupils she is still one ofthe gang. Miss Mary R. Goff
