Reporter The year 1945 is a very outstanding one in our memories for it was during that year that we, the Juniors, started to school. Under the guiding hands of Mrs. Jenkins and Mrs. Inge, we soon learned to read and write. By the time we entered the second grade, we had learned the whole alphabet and could even spell CAT. In the third grade we were allowed to use notebooks in¬ stead of tablets. We stopped printing our letters and mastered the art of writing. Did we feel grown-up! During the fifth grade, we really traveled. We went to Richmond and to Williamsburg. Miss Haskins consented to let us wade in the James River, but Jimmy May became over¬ anxious and took a plunge. We found out what exams were in the sixth grade. Wow! It was that year, too, that we pulled a real booboo in winding the May Pole during our May Day dance. We took a trip to Washington while we were in the sev¬ enth grade. The most impressive place we visited was the zoo. It is hard to tell if we were more impressed with the animals or they with us, especially the hyena that laughed at Diana Gayle. Our eighth grade will long be remembered. Mr. Reid ' s social studies class was really stupendous! Our first dance was another milestone in our school career. We ended the year with the bright prospect of meeting new classmates from Burkeville the next year.
