webs brushed from the walls, more
pictures hung, more yards cleaned,
more windows washed, more flowers
grown, more children made happy
than at any time in the history OF
Rankin county.
While the work has been good,
I am not satisfied and hope that
each teacher will begin to plan now
for greater things next year.
/ wish to thank Supt. Myers, Pres.
of Teachers Association Rumble, and
the high school principals for their
kind assistance in making my flnai
report to the State President.
