Can we ever forget that first day of school, when we were shown into the rooms of Mrs. Bee, Miss Magee, and Miss Fishburn? There we learned how to print our names and to spell cat. In the second grade, we were placed under the capable leadership of Miss Granberry, Miss Brennan, and Miss Graham. This year, those of us in Miss Granberry's room began to honor St. Valentine by having a Valentine play while the rest of us learned how to run a store in Miss Brennan's room or increased our learning of addi- tion and subtraction under Miss Graham. We witnessed our first storm this year. How glad we were to see our parents when they came after us! As we were promoted to the third grade, we rejoiced to have Miss Ruth Jones, Miss Prie- batsch, and Miss Daniels as our teachers. The multiplication tables were pounded into our heads by Miss Priebatsch. ln Miss Daniel's room, we learned to be horticulturists, had a flower garden of our own on the school yard and took walks to Wildwood where we studied about n-ature, Those of us in Miss Ruths room surprised her at Christmas time by giving her a watch. This year we had our first opportunity to show off in public. We had an enormous parade, with posters held high and flags flying to encourage votes for a new Grammar School. Remember the fourth grade? That was the year our teachers, Mrs. Smith, Miss Harris, and Miss Wallace, took us over to the Methodist Church for school. Some of us learned that ran was a verb and put it into practice the minute school was out. Others learned how to present programs and to publish a paper. For the first time in our lives, we witnessed a white January. The snow fights were wonderful, the snow men were remarkable, but we were glad when the slush was gone. This year, the fifth grade, we were taught by Miss Newman, Miss Blue, and Miss Namie. We learned the capital of each state and we took the Weekly Reader as our current paper. We will always remember the May Fete, in which most of us had a part, because we got out of school to go over to the High School on school buses to practice for the occasion. At last we were in the sixth grade, where for the first time, we were allowed to .change classes. The first six weeks was spent over at the High School, but soon they sent us back over to the Grammar School where we were Seniors since we were the oldest group there. Remember how big we felt? We made things to put on ex- hibit in our new building. Miss Pitchford tried to improve our writing by teaching us the Palmer Method. Miss Burt taught us long division, which some of us neyer did get. ln Miss Nutt's room, we studied about alcohol and made experiments, In our new building, the sixth grade had a library where we liked to go and check out books. When we started in the seventh grade at the High schol, a new leaf was turned -for us. lt was that year that we made the acquaintance of Miss Smith, who liked us so well that she got promoted with us for five years. Under her guidance, we learned the parts of speech and how to conjugate a verb. We furthered our knowledge in arithme- tic, literature, and history under Miss Davis, Miss Mamie, and Mrs. McNair. Coach Therrell holds a big place in our hearts for teaching us First Aid and how to give artificial respiration. We can never forget the club, Cute Cut Clan , which the boys formed. Before being eligible for mem- bership. one had 'to have his head shaved. Miss Mamie, Miss Davis, Miss Smith, Miss Daily and Miss Okey worked hard everyday to teach us about literature, arithmetic, English, I history, and science, but somehow the thought of being in the eighth grade kept us from study- ing. We began to play in the band, go to football games, and think about everything but a class- room and studying. We contributed to the war effort by collecting scrap and buying war stamps. The day for becoming green freshman was here at last and did we get our initiation! We can never forget the belt line and carrying fly flaps and toothbrushes around with us all day. The two words, air raid, will always have a special meaning to us. Now we know the fun we had on that day. That year, we were given a choice of subjects for the first time. Some of us chose Latin, while the rest of us took home ec. or gen- eral science. This choice of subjects made us realize that we were advancing in the world, and that some day, not too far off, we would hold responsible positions. This showed us that we should be more serious about the decisions which we have to make. The next year we were required to have book reports and to learn that Napoleon was a Frech- man. This year was a great success in outside events. One accomplishment led to another. First, we won the Lion's Bowl, Southwest Football, Bas- ketball,,and Track Championships which entitled us to the Big Cup. Recall how we scrubbed floors, painted walls, and tacked up pictures? Yes, that was the beginning of the Teen Tavern. We, the tenth grade, won the lnterclass Track Meet, even over the Seniors. This year as well as last year, we were the victims of a little item which they call exams. How we did dread the last of January and May! The following year, we were called the jolly juniors. lt gave us a big thrill the morning we got out of class to choose our class ring. The day the rings arrived, we were hardly able to sit through our classes. A lot of midnight oiI was burned that year, as some of us undertook physics and shorthand. The slaving done at the Thanks- giving football game proved to be a good thing, when the time came for the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. The Gay Nineties will always bring back the ole memories of the fun we all had. After about twelve or thirteen years, we finally reached the desired position of Seniors. The highlights of this year were our two publica- tions, The Panther Howls and Ole Brook j the money making schemes we cooked up to finance them, the Senior play, and the Senior parties, and all the other activities too numerous to mention. Some of us studied harder this year than before, while the rest of us just got enough to get by on. Many of us found that we had seven periods a day instead of six because we spent so much time in the detention room. There was joy and sorrow, but at last the long awaited moment of graduation is here. To Mr. Lipsey, the Captain, andthe Faculty, the pilots of our Showboat, we owe our success in steering a clear course thus far on the Sea of Life. Our school days at Brookhaven High School were made happy ones through the efforts of Miss Abshagen, Mrs. Wright, Miss Daily, Miss Smith, Miss Okey, Mrs. Malvaney, Mrs. Davis, Miss Langston, Miss Stroud, Miss Harper, Miss Mason, Miss Burns, Miss Jenkins, Mr. Renfrow, Miss Butler, Miss Welch, Miss Lofton, Miss Scott, Mr. Case, Coach Therrell, Coach McPhail, Coach Armstrong, and Mr. Roach, who so ably wrote the Students Handbook, for which we were all grateful. As we go to chart our further course, we will always hold high in our hearts the memories of our school days at B. H. S. and the friends we have made there.

S. in i958 are: John Perkins, Latin teacher, Sue Ford, expression, and Jerry Simmons, assistant coach.
