Notes of Interest
I believe Mrs. McCollum was the replacement for Mrs. Ethridge who left when Mr. Ethridge was drafted into military service. It is remembered by students that Mrs. McCollum’s service may have been interrupted some during the year and that Velma McFarland and Ruby Heien substituted for considerable periods. But there may have been considerable problems staffing the grades this war year and the teachers had to fill in here and there. This may explain why Mrs. McFarland is remembered as teaching both in room 2 and room 3. More input on the grades from classes of 51-55 is needed.
