Editors Note: Mrs. Daws is listed (
and pictured) among
the first faculty at East in 1948. The photograph below from 1966-67
indicates she likely had taught at East for 19 years at that point. It
is said, by those who were among early faculty members at East, and
also had been general knowledge among the public, that the original
administration and faculty for East were especially selected for their
excellence to serve in the new school. Mrs. Daws apparently having
taught
at least 19 years earns the editor's great appreciation and respect.
Mrs. Daws second grade class for the 1966-67 school year.
