Faculty


Introduction

In the 1961 album, Mr. Bruce stated that the success at South High "... has come about largely because of the untiring effort on the part of the administration, faculty, parents, students and five hundred seventy one alumni." This page is dedicated to honoring our faculty and their memory.

Since this is an early draft, suggested changes may be made to Mary Nell. Barry Gilbert is assisting Mary Nell with the web site.

Each Teacher's photo from the 1961 annual is shown below. If other photos are available, they will be placed on a web page which can be accessed by clicking on their name located below their photo.

 
Mr. W. B. Bruce was principal of South High since it became a senior high school 10 years ago.   Mrs King spent a good portion of her day helping students.
