Home Ec Teacher Closes Career in Decatur
PARSONS, Tenn. — Miss Sue Smith, home economist teacher at Parsons High School, is retiring this spring after teaching 35 years.
At the close of the school year, she will have made 14,000 trips to and from her classroom.
Miss Smith is the daughter of the late R. Smith and Mrs. Emma Whitaker Fisher and was born in Decaturville, Tenn. Her present address is 209 Georgia Ave. N. in Parsons.
She received her AB degree at Union University and did, post-graduate work at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville where she received her B.S. degree.
Scotts Hill High School was her school for eight years; Linden High School, three years and Parsons High School, 24 years.
She says she has taught either one or both parents of most of her students in school, and adds the thing she likes most about teaching is her students. Her advice to them is to prepare themselves in a special field so that if the need arises, they will be able "to make a good living."
Concerning marriage, she advises them "to plan ahead and start their marriage out right."
Asked what she will do after retiring, Miss Smith says, "I will keep house, work in my yard and go places I never had time to go while teaching."
