Nothing but success has been the results of her untiring efforts. MISS BLANCHE HUTTON IV and V Grades Miss Hutton has taught our fourth and fifth grades for the past three y-ears.

MISS JOSEPHINE CROSS, III and IV Grades Miss Cross is our very excellent third and fourth grade teacher. In addition to her grade work she has charge of the sewing classes. She is also the coach of the Girls Basket Ball Team. MISS VELMA DANIELS, II and III Grades Miss Daniels hails from Decatur.
