FIRST GRADE Watching this year ' s first grade at work and at play brings back memories of our first year in school, which began on September 6, 1936. Of the seventy-five students who started to school that year, only five are with us at graduation. They are Bill Skeen, Jason Britt, Daisy Mc- Neill, Junior Deaton and Rebecca Saunders. The out- standing event of the year was The Tom Thumb Wed- ding, in which Daisy McNeill was the bride, Junior Deaton, the groom, and Bill Skeen, the preacher. Most of us will remember that Junior Deaton and Bill Skeen had a big fight the first day of school. Miss Lucille White, our teacher, punished them by making them sit and face the class. Bill says that that was very embarrassing. CLASS OF 1959 — Miss Wilma Helsabeck, Teacher Starting to school is quite an adventure for us six-year- olds. One of the first and most important things we had to learn was how to work and play together. In addition to learning how to read and write and acquiring some under- standing of numbers, we made stuffed toys for our little brother ' s and sister ' s Christmas gifts. We are proud of our accomplishments during our first year in school.
