Nina Hammer on:

J. Lewie Harman

"He was such a dynamic teacher. He had such an unusual personality, and he did his work so thoroughly
that he was by all odds, I think, the most popular teacher in the school and one of the best.


William S. Ashby

"[He] had great pride in his penmanship. Penmanship was something much stressed in that school."


James Cecil Holland

"He said he had determined that no student was leaving his class. No student would go out from the
school having as hard [a] time as he felt he had. He was going to make them get it while they could. . . .
[H]e didn't always give A's. He gave a few lower than that, but many F's and I believe just as many
D's."


Clyde Boulton Cates

"When a student had been cutting her class, and she said to the class at large, if you see John Jones,
you tell him to see me today before the sun goes down, they always saw her."
