Mrs. Jones had developed tumors in her jaws which were removed along 
with a portion of her jaws. I am told she had a heart attack shortly 
after the surgery. My information as to these details are third hand 
but feel sure it is pretty close to accurate.

I had several classes with Mrs. Jones.  
Her obituary was in the 4/20/99 Malvern Daily Record

Dorothy Branum Sealy
I thought a lot of Mrs Jones. She either wore red or black clothing.

Benjamin Owen 
I remember Mrs. Jones had a small fan in her room that she pointed toward the front wall from about a 6' to 10' distance. 
I have no doubt, with her geometrically tuned mind, she figured out the best way to get the most air circulation in the room. 
I am not TOTALLY positive it helped much, but I would never have questioned her judgement!!

And, I can honestly say I don't remember ever perspiring from the heat in the building 
(not to say it wasn't very comfortable at times)...only maybe some nervous perspiration when Mrs. Jones 
started walking up and down the aisles to ensure placement of each chair leg on its proper board!!
She is the teacher I had the most respect for...or, as my English teachers would prefer. for whom I had the most respect
...a touch of fear mighta been present, as well.
