Memorize! said Mr. Pettid. Learn your verbs! said Mr. Tellez. Paperbacks for reading, and themes and paragraphs for writing occupied the sophomores in Mr. Mer- rell's classes. In other periods this coach and teacher explained the mysteries of economics, business law, and general business. After school, he assisted with football in the fall, coached varsity basketball in the winter, polished the track men in the spring. This was his fourth year at Duncan. Spelling drills and tests were Mr. Pettid's specialty, along with memory work in poetry, for both freshmen and seniors, but the seniors also remembered the weeks spent on research themes. In speech class, oral work was a regular assignment. Mr. Pettid, com- pleting his second year at Duncan, was sponsor of the Sophomore Class and the Future Teachers of America. Mr. Tellez, a third year teacher at DHS, emphasized grammar drill in both English III and Spanish. Stu- dents could be heard earnestly asking each other, Is this a phrase or a clause? An adjective or an ad- verb? Mr. Tellez sponsored the Spanish Club and the Senior Class.
