Some couldn't think of letting Mama out of their sight., Without having aj' conception of what our school life was to be, we sailed through grammar school. . We will never et our fourth grade, because it was then that our class went to WCKB in Dunn and gave a program L , ut some of the t gs we had learned in social studies.
