We know the people in this picture, but we are not quite sure which name goes with which person.  We do know that the man standing third from the left is Rev. J. D. Andrew, the President.  (Members of the faculty that year --according to the Catawba News Enterprise -- were J.J. Ingle, J. Lawrence Eason, W. Farel Warlick, Fanny Clapp, A. C. Sherrill, Vena Little, Leona Young, Jewell Michael, Lizzie Bost and Mrs. Dr. John C. Clapp.  Matching the faces and the names is our current challenge.
