Class History One bright morning early in September 1938» a group of shiny faced youngsters began in the first grade at Dexter Grade School.

During our second year, we added to our mischievous little group, Martha Anne McCracken, and Betty Jo Hendricks. The tnird grade we welcomed Marjorie McClard to our group, and by tnis time w.e certainly gave Miss Mc uary and Kiss Kraft a tussel to keep us all working. Oh! Yes! We mustn't leave Dale Boone out, he, too, joined us this year. Marjorie left us during our fourth year. The fifth grade we added Kenneth Hillis to our group. Marjorie McClard came back, but Kenneth Jenkins and Dale Boone left us. At last we were in the sixth grade, and we could move upstairs, and believe it or not, we had six teachers.

In our seventh year, Wilson Jarrell, Delois Eskew, Lucille Edwards, Barbara Shipman, and Myrtle and Georgie Neal came to see if they would like our school. They did and they stayed with us. In the eighth grade, a few of us felt as if we should know as much as the teachers and were quite over bearing. J. W. Fulkerson joined us this year, and Kenneth Jenkins came back to stay. By the way, we mustn't leave out Bobby Robinson, who came to join our class this year. Our first year in hi h school and were we ever green fresnmen. ..e saw many uo.v xaces, most of which came from rural districts, but some came from other towns.

This was the year that we gave our big Junior-Senior Prom, wnich was very colorful and which received many nice com- pliments. Bill and John Lamberson came to us from Gideon this year. 1ir lenior year had finally rolled around, and for s me reason we weren't so proud to see it, for we knew we would soon be leavinfe old acquain- tances and the familiar halls we knew so well.
