of Georgia Tech, is now 1st Lieutenant in Japan, flying jet planes. The John Ed. Beard family has made an unusual record. Octavia received the high est rating ever made on a Placement Test at Louisburg Collegej she is a graduate of the School of Journalism, University of North Carolina. Ruth was USO Receptionist in Europe and Japan during World War II. Mildred is a county nurse for Pamlico County having received her training at the University of North Carolina and the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. There are other Bailey School families who likewise have members doing outstand ing work, but it is iirtpossible to name them all. In 1920% of the Bailey men in the Armed Services were commissioned officers. Among this number are several who have received special honors. Millard Morgan, Jr. made the highest grade ever obtained on the Comprehensive Test given at the Bainbridge, Georgia, Air Force Base. James Jones is receiver of the Navy Cross for distinguished service in the Pacific battle. Others ranking high are Bruce Perry, Colonelj Harvey Bissette, Major and Air Force jet trainer; William D. Farmer, Major in USA Medical Corps; Captain Percy Liles, USN; George Lee Bissette and Robert Griffin, pilots. Turning to highlights here and there and adding a bit of spice, one finds from the records that in 1932 all married teachers were asked to resign; however, the next year, the community decided that the Mrs. or Miss did not make the teacher; as a re sult, married teachers have been back at Bailey since 1933. Bailey school can offer proof that teachers are not always as brilliant as given credit for. One of Bailey's past principals went to the bank where he was told his account was overdrawn. He promptly replied: "That's all right; I can take care of that. Hand me a check, please; whereupon he wrote the check to "Cash" for the amount overdrawn and gave it to the cashier. Some teachers have become "fixtures'' at Bailey, so attached are they to the school. Mrs. J. P. Underwood has taught here 27 years; Mrs. Howard Farmer, 26. Othere on the road to comparable terms of service are Mrs. Rudolph Glover, Mrs, L. T. Lassi ter, Edith Farmer, and Rachel Bissette. Going through the list of graduates, one finds the names of Finch and Glover ap pearing most frequently, followed by Bissette and Lamm. In view of all this history, if one can judge the future by the past, Bailey School will continue to grow and its alumni to set records of honor for their school.
