?THE

ORO. N. C.. SATURDAY, JUNE 1
MRS. IjOTTIK MORROW
?who, for 35 years, has carried
the torch of knowledge to the j
children of Greensboro, retired
it the end of this school year, at |
the age of G5. She was mysteri- ]
busly requested to be present at i
the commencement exercises of
Dudley high school, where, wrth
great ceremony, she was conducted
to a place of honor, surrounded
by maids of honor.
Following the presentation of
wards to the graduating class,
Mrs. Morrow was called to the
stage, and amid a tumultous ovation,
was presented a $50 war
bond and a greeting card, which
carried the following sentiment:
"Thi'S gift has come from all of
us
Its choice is most unanimous,
And, so are ail the wishes too
That come with it from us to
you."
It was signed. "With Best
Wishes," from the entire city
school system.
Mr. Ben Smith, school superintendent,
was the first to congratulate
Mrs. Morrow on the
splendid job she has done in
serving her city. He said now
that she has become a lady of
leisure, she should enjoy herself
doing nothing but resting.
Amid pleasant home surroundings,
she related how the schools
had improved through the years.
"When I first began teaching,"
she said, "there were several
private schools in operation. I
began teaching at the Percy
Street School. Later, I had classes
under the ' old Mount Sinai
church. I taught at the Warnersville
(now J. C. Price) school,
and ended up at Washington
Grammar school." She said she
received only $27 a month then.
She said she had enjoyed every
day of her teaching "because it .
kept me young." Her appearance
b^ars her out, for she is very
youthful looking, her pleasant
face surrounded by a beautiful '
halo of white hair. She explained
that all her experience with
children had been most pleasant.
When her class found out that
she thought of retiring, tbev
begged her to wait until they J
should go to high school.
"I don't plan to do any more i
regular teaching," she said, "but 1
1 may substitute once in a while !
to keep in practice." 1
