A number of them, however, entered in February of that year, and most of these left Milby at mid-term this year. Some of them stayed in school in order to receive more credits. The majority of the students came from Edison, Deady and Jackson Junior High Schools. At that time Maxine Chapman came from Electra, Texas; Adenia Wade from Haskell, Oklahoma; Darrell Moutray from Baytown; Blanche Hannah from Liberty; Lee Roy Long from Fort Worth; Norman Newsome from Galena Park; Lurlyn Butler from Teague; August Weiss from San Antonio; and Dorothy Peterson from New Orleans. Deede Brunner changed from Reagan to Milby in the fall of ’33 and Kathleen Hall came from Reagan the next spring. Fred Gillespie changed from Sam Houston to Milby about the same time. The next year, in September when school opened, seven students came here from oth- er schools: Charles Cobb from Pensacola, Florida; Mary Margaret Hardy from Jeff Dav- is; Pauline Stephens from Beaumont; Dorothy Kerley from Sumrall, Mississippi; Harry Waters from Sam Houston; Mary Davis from Lufkin and Gertrude Waegner from Rea- gan. In November, 1934, Franklin Waggoner transferred to Milby from Sam Houston. At mid-term, 1935, Daniel Raymer and Albert Talley came to Milby from Sam Hous- ton, and Tommie Lou McComas joined the class in April ’35, having come from Urbana, Illinois. Seven more students entered the class in September, ’35. Bettie Wittlinger and Harris Winfree from San Jacinto; Barney French from Sam Houston; Paul Hazel Catchings from Davis; Eva Louise Pate from Austin; Ruth Smith from Woodstock, Georgia; and Margarette Wood from Midland. In November 1935, James Tharp came to Milby from Gilmer, Texas, and the next January, Ina Mae Sparkman came from Ada, Oklahoma. The class of 1936, after gaining some students and losing others through failures, consists of one hundred and seventy-five graduates, twenty-five mid-term graduates, one hundred and twenty-nine June graduates and twenty-one summer school graduates. The senior registrars are Miss Lucille Frazer, Miss Fannie Harrell, Miss Inez McCoy and H. A. Miller. BYRON ALLEN—“Peanut” LEONCE BADEAUX DANNIE BLUDWORTH—“Dak” OTTO BOPP T. C.
