HUH I! CLASS HISTORY Is it actually true that our twelve years of school are over and we are graduating? It is true, yet it seems as if it were only yesterday that Mrs. Clara Alexander taught us our ABC ' s at the age of 6 when we were so timid—before we knew it we had grown out of our timidness, learned our ABC’s and were promoted to the second grade where Mrs. Camille Everton and Miss Ireland continued to teach us. After learning to read This is Ray, “Ray can run, etc., we stepped in grade three where Mrs. Helen Melson and Miss Taylor taught us. With the time slipping by very fast we were soon stepping in grade four where Miss Martha Sykes, and Mrs. Elsie Holloway helped us through the hardest grade in school. By that time we were learning very fast, so Miss Rose Bateman and Mrs. Elsie Holloway said that they would be in charge of us for the next nine months and teach us the things we should know at that age. Then one bright day staring be¬ fore us was grade six, with Miss Maggie Owens as our teacher. That was another year of learning and play. The end of that year was the halfway mark between here and there in our high school education. The much loved Mrs. Florence Chaplin and the new teacher, Mr. Tom Reynolds, helped us to en¬ large our education in the seventh grade. That year went by very quickly and we thought we had learned everything until we entered the eighth grade where Miss Roxy Jones increased our vocabulary and let us study current events. It was during that year that we gained a new classmate, Mary Elizabeth (Tibbie) Daniels, who moved to our town. At the close of that year when we received our report cards and they said promoted to grade nine” we were excited and thought it was only a dream, yet when that bright sunny day in September came and we entered the ninth grade we knew it was not a dream. For a while we moved around not knowing what to do with ourselves, in our new school life so we were given the title of Freshmen and were called Fresh. It was harder for the five students who came from Gun Neck since they were entering a strange school, and new high school life with strange people They were Julia Parisher, Nora Dean Patrick, Kathleen Jones, Mona Combs, and Bryan Liverman Graham Bateman, Joe Cammon, and Lee Berry came from other schools to be with us yet Joe left us after our Freshman year to begin his Sophomore year at Roper High. At the same time seven of our classmates left us for various reasons, they were: Mona Combs, Betty Davenport, Sarah Brickhouse Iris Rae Crad- d °5 k KG M ?»7„ LlVer S nan ' Corine Belle 0wens ' and Am Carolyn Williams. Miss Mary Elizabeth Midyette and Mr William Bateman were our home room teachers that year. The other teachers were ' Miss Bal¬ ance, Mr. Baker, Mrs. McClees, Mr. Riddick, Mrs. Young and Miss Brickhouse. After learning and passing all the trials and terrors of our Freshman year we stepped in the Sooho- T°, r l cl f s wh f efe w t e l ? ecame r se - That year was s P snt in learnin § how to get by without having to study and learning to get along with our upper classmates.
