In 1975 Mrs. Reed received the Teacher of the Year” award given by the Future Teachers of America. Stop the chit-chat, is a favorite expression of Mrs. Reed. Humming an old Methodist hymn, she stands at the front of the room and waits for those she lovingly calls “girlies” and “baby-boys” to come in for class. She smiles exuberantly and talks with an early student about her numerous cats, including Middie Meow, Ole Yeller, and Snick. As the bell rings, she yawns expressively, cocks her head, taps her pencil on the desk, and sternly warns her class to “stop the chit-chat.” Immediately she launches into an enthusiastic lecture on ad- verb clauses, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Julius Caesar, the parts of speech, or whatever happens to be the topic of the day. Without notes, she fires questions relentlessly, warning her students not to waste a moment of the precious fifty devoted to English. At appropriate moments, however, she has been known to sing, to tell stories (Everyone knows her Virginia bracelet tale), and to imitate her own favorite English teacher. Grabbing a chair, she goes into a routine familiar to all of her students. She crosses her legs and begins bouncing one up and down furious ly, talking rapidly all the time. To emphasize a point, she waves her pencil madly, occasionally letting it fly ac- cidentally toward a “poor, unfortunate someone.” She clears her throat loudly, stares down a whispering student, and hands out another of her endless worksheets for which she is famous. But her world does not end with her classes. We can find her at Senior Tri-Hi-Y meetings, of which she has been a part for the past ten years. She has worked on more floats, attended more sessions of Model General Assembly, planned more Easter as- semblies, and participated in more Tri-Hi-Y activities than she can count. And that’s not all. Since 1970 she has been a part of every Radford High School Junior-Senior Prom. As head Junior Class sponsor, she has set up hops, planned the sale of game pro- grams, organized stadium clean-ups and paper drives, and helped select Prom bands and themes. Cn every Prom night, she is a star, and in 1977 she is the star of the yearbook. The 1977 Cakleaf proudly spotlights Mrs. “Foxy Roxie” Reed. At the 1976 Junior-Senior Prom.
