We wish to express our appreciation to them, although in no way could we be good enough to them. Mrs. A. W. Allen, the first grade teacher, has been here for many years. She started the original class of 1929 in the very first grade. The year of 1940 is the second year of Mrs. Walter Pendleton in the Stratford Public Schools. From all we can gather, Mrs. Walter Le-e, the third grade teacher, is very well liked, and is a grand teacher. Mrs. John Bird is the principal of the grade school and the teacher of the fourtxh grade. Mrs. Bird was our second grade teacher. Mr. Jack Veazey, the band director, is the fifth grade teacher the first half of every day. Mrs. Milton is their teacher for the rest of the day. Mrs. Van Boston is the teacher of the sixth grade, and we all think that she is a very good one. Mr. Graves is a grand seventh grade teacher as well as a marvelous girls' basket ball coach. Now for the high school teachers. Mr. Tabor is a friendly sort of a fellow, and we all like him even if he is the superintendent. Mr. Harman is the principal of the Stratford High School. Miss Feild is the sponsor of our annual, as Well as the English and Spanish teacher. Mr. M. E. Cleavinger, Jr., is the sponsor of our cl-ass, and the historian of the school. Miss Sybil Gidden was the Home Economics teacher the first half of the year. Miss Maurine Reeder taught the last half. Mrs. Flores is a grand music teacher. In fact, we have a nice group of teachers.
