Cheek’s father, a cotton farmer, encouraged all 10 of his children to pursue an education, and Cheek’s extensive history with MGC began when his father sent him to enroll in the college with a bale of cotton to pay his tuition. He continued to pay his way through school by working 10 cents an hour jobs during the school year and accepted a 50 cents a day farming job with the col lege during the summers. Cheek graduated from MGC in 1933 at just 16 years old. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in 1935 and a master’s degree in education in 1951 from the University of Georgia. His wife and all three of his children also attended MGC. Cheek chose to serve on the MGC Foundation Board to give something back to the school that he says gave him so much. “I owe a lot to MGC because of the inspiration I received here, the good teachers and the challenges,” Cheek said. “I wanted to contribute some thing because MGC has helped a lot of people like me that wouldn’t be where they are today without the education they received at the college.” After completing his edu cation, Cheek began his teaching career in Blakely County, moving to Houston County’s Perry High School in 1955. Over the course of his career, Cheek established two vocational agriculture departments and headed up an award winning Future Farmers of America chapter. In 1974, he was named Georgia’s first Vocational Teacher of the Year. Cheek worked as a teacher for 37 years before retiring in 1974, and in 1997, he was hon ored as Georgia’s Retired Teacher of the Year. In 2000, UGA inducted Cheek into its Agricultural Hall of Fame citing his impact on “hundreds of young people and agribusiness leaders in the southeastern United States.” MGC President Richard Federinko saidd, “Col. Cheek embodies the spirit of Middle Georgia College and its alumni. His story of a modest beginning turned into a life of significance and accomplishment through education and public service is a fine example for all of Char-Broiled Sizzling Steaks MgAAH I-T9 C««t IM*9»7-M77 send" to my father as well as to many others.
