This newspaper column has recently featured reprints of tales from the music department’s past. Last week, we held our annual music banquet at First Baptist Church. I put myself at the end of the program so our captive audience would be able to listen to a few final words of thanks. These are the last words of a grateful educator to the fine people of Tallassee City Schools.
In the old days of vaudeville as entertainment, if a performer was on stage too long, somebody behind the curtain would reach around with a giant hook and drag the performer off the stage. For the past five years, Mrs. Hill has been that person, but tonight I asked that she give me a chance to say a few thank-you’s as I don’t know that I will have a chance to speak with you all again.
