Mitzi Bault: Favorite old newspaper clipping 2018-02-18 - Columbia, KY - Photo from the collection of Mitzi Bault. Great aunt Stella Chelf, made the highest grade, and Zella Ferguson, was second, in this report of a teacher examination held in Adair County 80-90 years ago. My grandfather, Edmund Pendleton "E.P." Waggener, and another great aunt, Opal Waggener Walker also passed the test. I remember being told that, at the time, a high school diploma was not a necessity to acquire a teaching certificate. Maybe someone else can elaborate on that or can give more information about the successful candidates than I can. - MITZI BAULT. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
