Dating life of James and Elizabeth

Sara "Elizabeth" Swallows (1916 Algood, Putnam, TN - 2007 Morristown, Hamblen, TN)

Robin Richmond, May 2018

Elizabeth Swallows attended Tennessee Tech the school year 1936-37. It was her junior year. James Murphy was in his senior year but they had one class together. It was a study of Wordsworth and Coleridge under Tom Passons. Near the end of school in the spring the Aggie and Home Economics clubs had a picnic together at Zollicoffer State Park. Elizabeth and James had a date. It was supposed to be a wiener roast but the person in charge of food failed to get the wieners, so Elizabeth and James and others had to get bacon at Livingston and cook it instead. James and Elizabeth also had a date for the Aggie-Home Ed. Banquet.

In the school year 1937-38 Elizabeth went to Peabody College on a scholarship and had charge of one floor of women at Lipscomb for her room and board. She received her BS degree in June 1938. The 1938-39 school years she taught the 3rd grade at Algood and in the summer of 39 she began her graduate work at University of Tennessee in Home. Ed. From 1939 to Marcy 1941 she taught Home Ed, chemistry and some English at the Algood High School and in the spring and summer of 1939 to 1941 she worked on her MS at UT and received her MS in August 1941.
