Cox Breaks Records — Remains Two Years Jack K. Cox, Sr. was the first chemistry teacher in a long time to remain two consecutive years. His five classes enjoyed the privileges of being in both classroom and laboratory for instructive and practical experience. At the end of the year he allowed the students to choose a few of their own experiments based on individual preferences. A report was then given so the class also could benefit. When not in school, Mr. Cox was most likely seen on the golf course brushing up on his putts. Truly an outdoorsman, his other pastimes included hunting and fishing when weather permitted. A few of his students noted his presence on the baseball field. He umpired several games for our school as a substitute.

Trig Siudenfs Learn, Teach After two days of play during the January snow, trig and geometry students of Mrs. Elizabeth Furr were calmly informed that their teacher had crushed her elbow and would be in the hospital at least four weeks. Instantly, panic struck students’ faces as they exclaimed to each other, “I’m doomed now.’’ No one could quite believe that the infallible Mrs. Furr was in a hospital with her arm in traction. Groups quickly began to organize and try to come up with unique things to do for her. Second period trig class collected enough money to rent a TV for her room. Paul Lampman bravely took over Mrs. Furr’s job, and for trig students learning also became a matter of teaching, where student and substitute worked together, each wondering, “Is this how SHE would have done it?’’ Top left: Between activities ot teaching those functions to her Algebra II students and making out schedules for varsity cheerleaders, Mrs. Nadia Davis plays a round of solitaire.
