McAllister Honored
At Retirement Tea
Friends of John David McAllister
assembled June 7 at the Hoke
County Board of Education to pay
tribute to him for 36 years of ser
vice to the education system in
Hoke County.
A committee of teachers and
central office personnel planned
the tea in honor of McAllister,
who is retiring effective July 1.
The guests' list included two
former superintendents, a deputy
assistant superintendent, who is a
long-time friend of McAllister,
and a retired Hoke County
teacher.
Mrs. Nellie F. Flowers, the
retired teacher, recited a poem in
tribute to the honoree and com
mended him on having lived so
grandly, the people would want to
give him a "reception day." She
closed her poem by thanking this
"stalwart comrade" for
"challenging us to live a noble
life" as educators.
G. Raz Autry, retired
superintendent of Hoke County
Schools, expressed many thanks to
McAllister for the many years of
loyal and dedicated service to the
people in Hoke County, and for
being "my friend."
Donald D. Abernethy, former
superintendent of Hoke County
Schools, reminded Hoke Countians
to b? "grateful to John McAllister
for his contributions as an educator
and in the area of human rights."
James T. Burch, Deputy Assis
tant Superintendent, State Depart
ment of Public Instruction and col
lege friend of Mr. McAllister, said,
"John moved through the musical
chairs of education." He lived
through the educational system
during the 60's when it took a
special breed to survive.
Mrs. Carolyn McGee, ECIA
Chapter I teacher, presented other
gifts to McAllister on behalf of the
group.
McAllister's wife and children
were present at the occasion.
