Now

I feel so thankful that I was a part of CHS faculty for five and one half years---some of the best years of my life! It was a blessing and joy to work with such talented students and congenial staff members. Throughout the years I have remained in contact with many of my former students and several faculty members--those connections have brought back wonderful memories of my years at CHS.

We felt drawn to Clinton because our brother in law, Dr. Dick Prenshaw (deceased) always spoke so highly of his years spent with the CHS Band Program and Clinton Public School's support for the arts---so my husband and I chose to live in Clinton once we graduated from Mississippi State University with hopes of a music position coming open in Clinton Public Schools. Fortunately, Mr. Treloar created a part time vocal music position for me and allowed me to teach piano during school hours-with the promise of a full time Vocal Music position if he felt he could justify a full time positon the following year. My position became full time and I remained at CHS until my husband accepted a position with an engineering firm in Oklahoma City.

We moved back to Clinton from Oklahoma City, OK in 1971 and I returned to CHS as Choral Director for the next three years. We left Clinton again and returned to Oklahoma/Tulsa where I accepted a teaching position with Jenks (Oklahoma) Public Schools for the next 20 years....retiring in 2000.  

Several years before I retired, my building principal called me to the office to meet a new student and his parents who recently had moved to Tulsa. The parents were Gary and Rebecca Weatherly and the student was their son Rob------I was so pleased to see Gary and Rebecca and I was so delighted to meet Rob---I really felt that things had come full circle---and the circle continues because of Gary's devotion to CHS---he keeps on keeping us all in the loop. Thanks Gary for the gift of your time on our behalf of students and faculty of the class of 1966.
