Dowling
Is Student
Teacher
It was a challenge for
both the student and her
family, when Carol Dowling
returned to the classroom some
three years ago. On May 17, Mrs.
Dowling, her husband and their six
children will see dreams fulfilled as
she graduates from Stephen F.
Austin with a teaching certificate
on that day.
She is the daughter of Alto
Elementary School Principal and
Mrs. James Grammer.
Students at Rusk Primary School
already think Mrs. Dowling is a fine
teacher. She is well received by the
youngsters and has a natural
teaching ability.
She and her husband both retur-
ned to the classrooms to obtain
teaching certificates. He got his
degree last year. When they went
back to school, the entire family
came into the act to cooperate to
make the degrees become reality.
The Dowling children include
Stephen, 16, Mollie, 14, Ellie, 13,
Blake, 10, Jessica, 6and Haley, 4.

Cherokee County.
The departments of elementary

cooperation with the Division of
Continuing Education will provide
training in child development
theory, applications and
management.
Davis said the three-part sessions
will provide basic knowledge about
child development, train staff to
recognize symptoms of abuse and
neglect, and enhance skills and
abilities in guidance, discipline and
supervision.
Trainers from East Texas State
University include Dr. David
Brown and Mrs. Janie Humphries
from the department of elementary
education; and Davis, Dr. Mary
Beth Tuck and Mrs. Paula Witt
from the department of home
economics.

sing for the Texas Department of

propriate for staff and directors
and it meets the minimum yearly
training requirements."

bers. are in charge of arrangemen-
ts for the dinner.
The Commission approved fun-
ding assistance for the New Sum-
merfield Junior Historian chapter's
history trip to Texas places and the
Jacksonville Middle School chap-
ter's recent trip to the state Junior
Historians fair The Jacksonville
chapter's Susan Bolton, daughter of

meet demands for the book. The
books will be sold on a first-come,
first-served basis at $70 each, plus
$3.59 Texas sales tax. and $4 each if
copies are to be mailed. The history

small number of copies not sold,

the few the printer still has
available.

re-issue of the book any time in the
near future.

have large portraits of James
