Since she began her teaching
career at Dade High four years
ago, she has been extremely ac¬
tive in school affairs, also car¬
rying on the adult homemaking
courses which were started by
Mrs. J. C. Billue. These classes,
a part of the Vocational Home
Economics Program, were und^r

began instruction, and now have
grown until they are under pro¬
gram four, the highest Lie
course can go. Last fall, Lie
courses included the Ne wSalem
community.
As a part of the FHA program
at Dade High, Mrs. Sutton and
her students have helped with
football and civic club banquets
and given plays. Since she has
been on the faculty at Dade
High, there has always been a
home economics entry in dis¬
trict literary contests. Entrants

contests, with three first places,
a third place in the district con¬

attending community affairs
when it is possible. Her church
affiliation is with the Seventh-

mother, she is to be envied; the
seven Sutton children have
learned self-reliance by helping
their parents, and all are popu¬
lar with their classmates.

ing career of 23 years in West
