MILDRED HADD OX Mrs. Mildred Haddox, a very dedicated and much admired teacher left us at mid-year. She had taught for thirty-five years at Flemington High School, First Ward, Parkview, and Grafton Higli School. Mrs. Haddox attended Elkins High School, Davis and Elkins College, Marshall and West Virginia University where she received her A. B. degree majoring in speech. She belonged to the WUEA, and NEA. Mrs. Haddox was an able directress of plays during the time the Little Theatre was at C. H. S. After retirement she plans to read, listen to music, keep house, and do the things she couldn't do before. We're sure she's doing just that and enjoying every moment of it.
