Rainey, John L.
No full textJohn L. Rainey taught college Latin and Greek from 1923 until 1940, when Latin instruction was discontinued. He transferred to the high school, where he taught until retiring in 1955.

He inspired students to believe in themselves and to choose to do rightly in all circumstances. Also an active preacher, he personified the finest qualities: faith in God, personal godliness, integrity, a willingness to work, servant leadership, and a sacrificial spirit. A favorite maxim was advice for all: “Having been advised, let us strive for better things.”https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1011/thumbnail.jp
