A new high school building for white students and one for colored are being built to be ready for occupancy for the i954- 55 term. The people of Tuscaloosa re- cently approved a bond issue to provide one and a halt million dollars-for completion ot these high schools and much needed ad- ditions to the over crowded grammer schools of the city. A new Stafford school on Fifteenth Street will replace the old building to which so many thousands of students have gone to school through the years. Tuscaloosa with a new hotel, a new hos- pital, new high and elementary schools is keeping opace with the best in the nation. Mr. J. R. Pittard-principal of Tuscaloosa High, Kind, courteous, and understanding, Mr. J. R. Pittard is indeed concerned about each student. With this year's students grading them- selves in citizenship, Mr. Pittard has shown his emphasis on stu- dent guidance. With us now for three years, we all appreci- ate his interest in us and his ability to see our point of view. Mrs. Bessie Mae lewis, our school's bookkeeper, is a most cooperative and patient person. It was recently found that an average amount of S360 a day posses through her office. Although this amount, including fees, salaries, lunch money, and school supplies, makes Mrs. Lewis a truly busy person, she is always happy to help any one of us. Mrs. Verna Bardon, Mr. Pittard's efficient and smiling secretory, is a well known friend of all connected with T. H. S. Her many jobs, including making schedules, keeping student's records, and getting out school announcements and bulletins, are done with such ease that Mrs. lardon is known by all as an authority an managing a school office.
