the teacher who has been there
34 years naturally gets a little
more consideration. I don’t
think that’s a thing to be
resentful about, because
somebody who has been there
longer does deserve more
consideration.”
Mrs. Dillion said she was
angry at the person who wrote
the letter and almost as angry
at the publication of the letter.
“I think Josey has been a good
school. It’s a marvelous
faculty, a friendly faculty. I
hate to see the resentment and
the distrust that something like
this can cause. I relegate an
anonymous letter writer to the
same category as an obscene
phone call.” She said such
persons should be given no
credence whatsoever. She said
she doubts whether there were
more than 1 or 2 persons
involved. Her initial reaction
she said was “just plain anger”
that people will not leave us
alone and “continue to try to
make problems at Josey when
we are doing our damnest to
get things together. We fight
hard. Everybody over there
does. And we get along
beautifully. And we fight a lot
of people. We have a lot of
outside interference. So I’ve
been very proud of us.”
Mrs. Dillion said she was
new last year, but it was the
first time she has come into a
new system and was
“welcomed almost
immediately. Never felt the
least bit of pressure or of being
ignored as many new teachers
sometimes are.”
Mrs. Lunette Brigham, a
Black science teacher, pointed
out that she maintains a study
hall. She does not have a
homeroom class because she is
chairman of the science
department and advisor to the
yearbook staff, “and we spend
hours after school and on
Saturdays, and if I have any
privileges, this is why.”

TEACHERS
Cont from pg. 1
22nd year of teaching,
concluded, “We laugh, we joke,
we talk, anything comes up, we
share ... food ... whatever is
going on; it’s just like one big
happy family. I see it as
someone who is just trying to
break up the relationship we
have at Josey.” She also
expressed regret that the story
was published, noting that it
got students involved. Sharrock
said it was demoralizing.
A white social studies
teacher, Mrs. Roof, noted that
students also refuted the
assertions of the letter. One of
her students according to Mrs.
Roof, reacted to the letter by
saying, “This is so much bull.
This is rediculous. This is the
silliest thing I’ve ever read in
my life.”
Mrs. Roof said that if the
person who wrote the letter is
at Josey he or she should leave.
“They really don’t belong;
they’re not a part; if they feel
. that way and if they are white,
I feel sorry for them, because
it’s a bad situation and they
should get out.”
She said she believed that
the reason that the letter was
unsigned was because the
person(s) knew that they were
in such “tremendous minority,
just one or two people”.
The teachers, four white and
four Black, also took exception
to the letter’s statement, “We
were elated to hear that Mrs.
Mildred Hankerson was to go
(transferred) to Sego.”
Mrs. Barrow said, “1 wish
you could have been there
when we heard she was leaving.
You walked down the hall and
teachers were crying. We cried
with her. Nobody was elated.
You could see it on people’s
faces ... “Did you hear that
Mrs. Hankerson is leaving?”
One white Josey parent,
Mrs. Anna Milvan, perhaps
summarized the group’s
feelings best when she said,
“This only makes bad blood ...
friction that can have very
serious consequences.”
Josey’s principal, L.K.
Reese, said the allegations were
unfounded. “We didn’t know
whether it (the letter) came
from our faculty or not.
Sometimes people do these
things to divide you. Some
people do not want to see this
process (integration) succeed.”
He said that he has been
aware for some time of a
conspiracy to put fear in white
parents. “We have a fine
faculty. We have one or two
persons who may be
dissatisfied. I’d hate to feel
that we have anyone on our
faculty with that attitude, but
it’s possible.
“I feel confident that this
was not the spirit of the
faculty. It was exactly the
opposite.”
