Principals 58

Principals 58

This picture appeared in the 1958 Sumner County High School annual. Pictured on left is Thurman Cothron, principal of Portland Elementary School that opened in 1956. On the right is William M. Hunter, principal of Sumner County High School. Mr. Hunter became school principal in 1947 after serving in the United States Navy. The picture is promoting the cooperation between the city and the schools. Mrs. Russell McGlothlin, president of the Parent Teachers Association, is in the center, as is Portland Mayor Watt Hardison. Sadly, this was Mr. Hunter’s last year in Portland.  SUBMITTED by JOHNNIE FREEDLE
