Glad the day is over, George Mayo anxiously boards the Glorious Cheese for a long ride home. Not even the mud puddle impedes his determina¬ tion to board. The Glorious Cheese Some of our best times were had on what most of us called “the cheese,” our school bus. We stepped on the bus in the morning and were hit by the loud and clamorous shouts of our schoolmates. Most of the noise always seemed to be coming from the back. For some reason all the talkers seemed to sit there everyday. Even with all the distractions, there were still rules by which we had to abide. We soon learned that it was only a privelege to ride the school bus. Not only did the school bus provide transportation to and from school, but it also provided a place to do our home¬ work, to socialize with friends and even a place to get out of the rain. Some buses were famous (“Bus 35 has not arrived”) and some were infamous. Sharon Palmer, Stewart Wilkins, Angela Callis, and Shirley Woodley impatiently wait for their bus to come. These students are getting themselves situated on the Pep bus headed to Kennedy. But thinking back, each of us rode the “Big Cheese” for a very long time; twelve years. How could we ever for¬ get the cold mornings, the hot after¬ noons, the snow as we left early or the noise. Even though we generally took them for granted, they were always there, waiting.

After the ceremony, graduates were swamped by congratulations, relatives, and flashbulbs. Wylie Lynch gave a stern handshake as he, too, received his hard-earned degree. “This is it,” trampled through Margarette Ball’s mind as she advanced onto the stage to get her diploma. One of the proud recipients, Jackie Ridley, was all smiles as she is handed her degree by Mr. Martin, School Superintendent.
