a ,s' 36 'fo JJ t gov. entor add A org ,rw Dear Diary X ,X I ve been looking through your pages that we the seniors have been writing for the past twelve Z' Afyf years in Brookhaven Public Schools You bring back X Z such wonderful memories My we must have been funny little first graders We surely thought wc were big shots starting to school at Whitworth College 4' Our new grammar school was almost finished by September 41 but we didn t move in until early January The moving was really fun' Miss Nellie as if I B s 6' . ., C2 ft . . i yf'y , YV t C 69 l'l' ix! LQ th' 'la 1' . V H lxrvifblrqlil--. ' I , . I Magee, Mrs, Davis, and Miss Laird had a difficult time keeping us in straight lines while we carried books from the college to our new school, In the second grade Miss Clark, Miss Hill, and Miss Annie Granberry crammed a little learning into us, but we had the most fun that year being in the May Fete with all the high school students. In the third grade we began the multiplication tables, from what I've heard, we must have had quite a time learning them, Miss Ruth Jones, Miss Daniels, and Miss Priebatsch carried us to Wildwood on nature trips, We probably made the woods wilder than ever, We also helped plant the flower beds around our school, When we went up stairs to the fourth grade, we felt so old and much superior to the lower grades, We started Palmer Method that year, and Mrs, Lesley, Miss Harris, and Mrs, Smith gave us homework, finally we had a reason to carry home books, In the fifth grade we studied American history for the first time, Miss keeves, Miss Namie, and Miss Hendrick kept up the home work idea, I think the novelty of it had worn off, now we looked for excuses to leave those horrid books. Being in the sixth grade must have made us almost adult, We even had to change classes, Mrs, Wales helped most of us get Palmer Writing Awards, Miss Nutt Taught us the evils of alcohol and English, and Mrs. Lambright tried to make us masters of the multiplication tables, We felt like babies the first few weeks of the seventh grade, but the sixth grade moved over to the high school that year so we weren't the babies after all, We learned from Mrs, McNair, among other things, never to tie our shoes in a water melon patch, Miss Lofton taught us how to useadictionary, Miss Durr, a little more history, Coach McPhail, more about alcohol, and Miss Mathison, what fractions were, We really learned that year, In the eight grade we felt as if we were almost graduated, Miss Lovett read us Beowulf, Miss Durr made us learn the counties, and Mrs, Ball's homeroom published a very interesting paper for our grade. To be a Freshman was really wonderful, We could choose our subjects--well, at least one of them, This was the first homecoming year, and our class had a float in the parade, Also we could go to the Tavern, and we got invited to high school parties, The tenth grade was almost as wonderful as the ninth, Y-Teens were organized at BHS, and some got in the Stars and Keys, Mrs, Travis was still teaching some of us Latin and Miss Mathison exposed us to geometry, There was another big homecoming. Last year was The Year up to its time. The Juniors sold chrysanthemums to make money for the Junior- Senior banquet, Our football team beat McComb for the first time in years, and we were the Big -8 champs. Another big thrill of the year was giving the banquet for the Seniors, We studied last year, too, Thisour Senior year, has been the most wonderful one we've ever spent, Working on the annual, having a Panther Howls, giving chapel programs and the Senior play, Studying in the activity building, working on and on and giving Homecoming, selling at ball games, the wonderful parties, and all the other privileges that make a senior year so unforgetable, Well dear diary, I guess that is almost the end of a wonderful year for all of us. You are filled with twelve years ofgrand memories of BHS, and yet, as we turn to pages of the future, we look forward to wonderful experiences in college and life, Edna Frances King Class Historian 15
