Twelve years ago. 61 wee youngsters were escorted to the Dallas elementary school for the first time by anxious parents or disgusted older brothers and sisters. Mrs. John Voth and Miss Ruth Cherry first taught these “kids” their A. B. C's It didn’t take them long to get onto the ways of school, including “the hickory stick.” but if it hadn't been for these little (’er) angels, the Class of '46 would be short 61 students. It would never do for the Class of '46 to leave without this reminder of the long road they have traveled in quest of their high school diplomas.
