HONORARIUM FOR TEACHERS

Mr. Cecil Brown, the Band Director, a great instructor. He was patient with the few of us who were a bit more slow in learning both sheet music and the fingerings of the keys on our instruments, mine the Alto Sax. I really appreciated his leadership, charisma and intense focus for helping his students. Dee ‘64

Mrs. Carrie White, our class of ‘64 Homeroom teacher, was the epitome of queendom. She was extremely stylish and regal with her hair up in a large cornrow circled around the top of her head. She had high expectations for her students and questioned many of our decisions. She tried to instill high morals and values into each of us, and I will always treasure her input into my life.
