The instructors took personal time to add or to enhance our education. I can remember Reverend Ewing spending his summers with math sessions. Ms. Holland doing chemistry, Mr. Harris doing chemistry in the summer without pay. They were that interested in the students to encourage them to do as much as possible. Mrs. E.F. Walker, an English instructor, was very instrumental in encouraging people to write poetry, stories, and participating in a number of contests throughout the city.
