ZENIGR GLASS HTZTGRY In 1930-1931 about twenty eager-faced youngsters started their first year in school. We were all eager to learn what school days would be like, and it didnvt take us long to learn, either. Miss 'Gladys Laine CMrs. Weemsl was our 'first teacher. 'The principal way she had to punish us was to make us sit une der her desk on the cross board, known to us as the Wroost polen. Almost all of the pupils had the privilege of sitting on it at least once. 'In some way almost all of us passed to the second grade, where our teacher was Miss Ruth Barton. There was such a large .class here that the WAN students were sent to the fourth grade room to be taught by Miss Fairy Harris CMrs. J.D. Bryantj. We thought this was quite an honor, but'IVm afraid the fourth grade students didn t quite share our happiness, they thought they were WQTOWH-'-Uf7SW., ' When we.entered the third grade, we had a new experiences we had more than one teacher. Our home room teacher was Mrs. R. R. Petty, but we had several others including Miss Wilma Ale len, Mrs. Pauline Renick, Miss Mildred Heidel, and Mrs. Leta Allen. By this time we were getting about grownrv Our only problem now was to.convince others of this fact. Then we entered the fourth grade, where we were allowed to sit in the study hall upstairs. So we were convincing others at last! h The next year found us all busily at work making posters, booklets, etc. to work off Wpointsnn Our teacher, H. Teague, based his entire discipline system on points and it was most successful. 'If you received ten without working one off you were carried to the office and paddled. This occured almost every day. Our sixth grade teachers were: Mr. E. H. Parris, Miss Jo Webb, and Miss Jo Pinson. At the end of the next year we had the thrill of grammar school graduation. Winona Elliott was Valedictorian and Betty JenningsswaasSaLutatorian. Probably never again will we have the thrill that we had that night as we marched onto the stage, the girls in pastel evening dresses and the boys in light .colored suits ., ' ' We were all happy when school started again in September even though we had to go barefooted and wear Fish vit'l written, on our foreheads for several days. We ,could have parties in the gym and a few of the luckier ones might even have a date. That year six girls, Jane Hammonds, Geraldine and Feraldine Vanlandin-2 ham, Ansa Lee Brown, Jean Pool, and Winona Elliott received a school jacket for participationi1rbasketball3 and Jackie McMillian received one for football and basketball, --------5 x X N , X.
