Reflections Remember when the Ferry was our means for getting to Reelfoot and especially for getting a tan on the sandbar on the Tennessee side of the Mississippi? Many things have changed during our stay in Caruth-ersville since those Westside and Southside days - not only the Ferry, but the town. Along with all the Going Out of Business signs came the ones that read -Coming Soon! We can remember many things of our town's past but there are still those Good Ole Days that were before our time. Saturday afternoon on Main Street in Caruthersville was always an exciting day. Farmers came from everywhere in the vicinity, along with family and horse-drawn carriage, to mingle and do the shopping. The roads and sidewalks were so crowded there was hardly enough room to walk. As those days passed, students became teachers and teachers became principals. During our stay at CHS alone we have seen teachers come and go, whether for retirement or in search of better things in life. Some new teachers came to Caruthersville for the first time while others returned to their Alma Mater. The whole idea of reflecting back in time is to see where we came from, and where we've been. This better enables us to look ahead into the future and have foresight of whts' to come. 2
