The records of our present Senior Class show that Frances Ford, Audrey Bland, Donald Dixon, Margie White¬ hurst, Mary Manning, and Annette Watson were the only little ones present in Bethel on that day of 1935 when we took our first faltering steps down the path of know¬ ledge. There were so many pupils that it was necessary to divide the group into two classes. With the help of Misses Exum and Tankin we adapted ourselves to the change that had taken place in our lives and actually learned to like it. Without too many difficulties we entered the seventh grade with Frances Bowers, who joined us in tne 4th grade John Wesley Whitfield who joined us in the 7th grade. In our minds we were really big then. Cur location at the high school building was probably responsible for that. If we had been seniors we couldn ' t have felt more grown-up. Little did we realize how near nothing we were in the eyes if the high school students.
