Mr. Thomas Napoleon Cater, of Selma, Alabama, passed away on May 18, 2008 in Selma, Alabama. He was born on May 2, 1914 in Dallas County, Alabama. Mr. Cater lived a long life of 94 years.
He was a longtime resident of Selma (Dallas County), Alabama. He was a teacher at R.B. Hudson High School in Selma, Alabama. Mr. Cater's house was located on First Avenue, within a block of R.B. Hudson High School. He taught Math, Algebra and some other subjects. He was a teacher for well over 25 years before he retired.
Thomas Cater served in the U.S. Army during World War II. He attained the rank of Sergeant. He began teaching after his discharge from the military.
Mr. Thomas Cater was one of the nicest people when he was away from school. But when he was in his classroom, he was a no nonsense teacher. He was there to teach and not play. Mr. Cater didn't stand for disruptive students, in his classroom or near his classroom, he quickly corrected the problem. Mr. Cater would jumped up from his desk to get students back in line inside or outside his classroom. One day a boy, who was not in his class, open his classroom door from the hallway and waved at a student seated inside the classroom. Mr. Cater saw it and jumped up from his desk and ran toward the door, but the boy had ran away.
When students got into minor trouble at school, the principal made them work around the school as punishment. One student was being punished by having to pull weeds out of the flower beds around the school. The student was working in the flower bed right below Mr. Cater's classroom window, which was open at the time. The student was singing as he worked in the flower bed. Mr. Cater went to the window and told him to stop singing, because he was disturbing his class. The student stopped singing for a short while, but later he started singing again. Mr. Cater rushed out of his classroom, ran down the hall, out of the door of the school and chased the student away from the flower bed. Sometimes students would deliberately do annoying things at school just to make him angry.
Mr. Thomas Napoleon Cater is interred at Pineview Memory Gardens, 5171 Alabama Highway 22, Valley Grande (Dallas County), Alabama. May he rest in peace with Jesus Christ forever.
