James C. Adams
 | As far as favorite teachers, I guess that I would have to say J. T. Wiggs, the Vocational Agriculture teacher. Though I only took one year of vo ag, He always was an inspiration, even in the years after we were long gone from high school. |
| The next would have to be Troy Roberts. His chemistry, physics, algebra, trig, and solid geometry classes presented ideas and challenges that still intrigue to this day. Although I am not good at any of the mathematics, I still have a deep interest and a passion for all branches. |
Pat Clemmons
| Willie Jean Baker - Spanish & History (The sweetest teacher we had) |
| "Red" Adams - Football Coach & Algebra (Who let me cheat to pass algebra) |
| Miss Mozelle Goodwin - First Grade (Who taught me to use my out going personality with confidence) |
| Burl Pitts - Girls Athletics Coach & Math (I pitched for The Junior High Girls Softball Team & we won county meet one year) |
Bill Rusk
| Mrs. Jack Riley--High School English (who forced me to read my first book) |
| Mrs. Pitts in Junior High, who sat on her desk with her legs crossed and....(can't remember what subject she taught!) |
| Mr. Roberts--High School physics, chemistry (who encouraged me to try something challenging) |
| Mrs. Francine Hoffman--Typing, drama (who tried to keep us in line during our senior trip) |
| Mrs. Arnold, our first grade teacher, who taught us to read out of "Dick and Jane." |
| Mrs. Mozell Goodwin, who whipped me because I couldn't finish a math problem on the board. |
| Mrs. Connie Lee, who brought a baby squirrel to the second grade for us to raise. |
| Mr. Casky, our biology teacher and a football coaching assistant. When we cut up a rabbit in biology class. The girls were shocked to discover the rabbit had babies not yet born. |
| Mrs. Malone, our sixth grade teacher (I remember our group making a world map which turned out to be a disaster). |
| Mr. Robertson, our football coach who didn't believe in giving us water during long practices. |
