MRS. RITA JOHNSON
Morrow PTA Honors
Mrs. Esther Persons
The Morrow School PTA,
represented by president
John Glover, has conferred
upon Mrs. Esther Persons a
lifetime membership in rec
ognition of her tireless ef
forts as a first grade teacher
at the school. Mrs. Persons’
class was also awarded a
prize for having 100% mem
bership of parents for the
school year, and she is ex
tremely proud of both hon
ors.
Mrs. Persons, the former
Esther Dumas, is originally
from Barnesville, Georgia,
where she graduated from
the Sixth District A&M high
school. She studied at Mill
edgeville College for Women,
and her first teaching posi
tion was in Gordon Gram
mar School at Barnesville,
where she Instructed classes
In English, Reading and
Music. She further studied
at the University of Georgia,
Georgia State, and has at
tended several summer
courses at Oglethorpe Uni
versity. Two years of her
MRS. ESTHER PERSONS
nlneteen-year career were
spent in Alabama schools.
Presently Mrs. Persons is a
member of the National Ed
ucation Association, Georgia
Education Association, and
Clayton County Education
Association. Her past affili
ations include various wom
en’s clubs, church organiza
tions, and fraternal auxil
iaries.
Married in 1926 to Thad
deus A. Persons, a Baptist
minister, she “retired” from
teaching to raise her family
of four fine sons. She divided
her time between this task
and helping her husband in
his profession, participating
actively in the church. The
granddaughter of a Baptist
minister, she attended to
practically every job in the
church at one time or other,
being a Sunday School
teacher, Training Union in
structor, and WMU leader.
Her main forte was music,
however, so the position she
most enjoyed was choir di
rector and pianist.
Early in their marriage,
the Persons resided at Stone
Mountain, where Mr. Per
sons was pastor for five
years. This was during the
depression, and Mrs. Per
sons fondly recalls that the
congregation had no funds
with which to pay her hus
band, so in Heu of money
they brought fresh chickens,
eggs, butter, and garden veg
etables. The people con
stantly expressed their re
gret at not being able to pay
the Reverend, and several
years later, after the Per
sons had moved to Augusta,
some of the women from the
Stone Mountain church
hand-sewed quilts, sold
them, and sent the money
to their former minister in
remuneration for his past
work.
Mrs. Persons has always
been a dedicated wife,
mother, and teacher, believ
ing that the home, family,
school, and church should
be united in love and learn
ing. The fine disposition
each of her sons has made
of himself is staunch testi
mony to her success in these
fields of endeavor.
Mrs. Persons is “Grandma”
to four lively youngsters,
whom she gets to see not
often enough. Her favorite
hobbles are preparing delic
ious meals for her family,
and writing poetry, which
she hopes to compile in book
form sometime in the near
future.

MRS BUD COOPER
'Effective Coin Collecting'
By BURT KNOWLES
4-H Member F.P.J.H.S.
Coin collecting is one of
the world’s oldest hobbies,
dating back several cen
turies. Today, it is easy to
start a collection and is in
expensive. But there are a
few things to think about.
First, one has to decide what
kind of collection he wants
Friends of Mrs. Persons all
vouch for the fact that she
has lived up to this credo
every day she has taught.
She has unselfishly devoted
herself to family, school and
church most of her life.
Praises for her cannot be
sung enough by her husband
and sons. We can only hope
that future generations of
teachers will be half so ded
icated as this genteel lady.

to start with. Your best bet
is to start with the penny
collection and then go up to
more expensive money. Aft
er you have decided which
collection you want to start,
you will want to know where
you can locate these coins.
If you are in contact with
coins every day, such as a
treasurer of a club, this is a
good way to find a lot of
coins you might need. After
one has started and thinks
he likes it, he should go on
up to nickels, dimes, quar
ters, half dollars, and dol
lars. Advance coin collecting
is when you are a numis
matic, or coin collector. Aft
er you have gone this far,
you can be on your own and
think up your own ideas.
This article is just to help
you start one the right way.

evangelist of Atlanta, and
vice-president of the Geor

lically with present day
problems faced by people in
everyday life. His Scriptural
approach appeals to people
of all ages from all walks of
life.
After graduating from col

ther training at the South
eastern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Wake Forest, N. C.
He also studied at the Uni

He is conservative orthodox,
and evangelical in his the

Evangelist Wise served

student pastorates) as a
successful pastor.
For more than six years,
Mr. Wise wrote a religious

His column was widely read
and quoted.
