Friendliness Rememberedl I never had a home I could call my own until I found myself living in Grand Saline , said James Nelson, who was teacher, head coach, and principal between 1937-1951. Although Mr. Nelson remem- bers each of his 14 years as hav- ing its own special characteris- tics and highlights, what he remembers best is the friendli- ness of the students and towns- people. I believe the highest honor I have is that of the friendship of the hundreds of ex-students and friends in Grand Saline. THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS in 1937 . X LEFT: Mr. James Nelson in 1976.

Drivers were Mr. Cole, Buck Cofer, Clyde Moore, Red Engle, and Harvey Bailey. iPhoto contributed by W. I. Thomas.J

Milne... Nt Classes With four grade classifica- tions, the student body's interests and activities varied. Freshmen, new to the life of high school, encountered more advanced courses than ever before while establishing them- selves on the lowest rung of the high school ladder. With the new worn off, sopho- mores settled down to a more routine schedule. With no organ- ized class functions, they turned their interest toward eXtra-cur- ricular activities. In their third year of high school, juniors took on responsi- bilities as a class. Money-mak- ing projects such as magazine sales, car washes, and donkey- basketball games provided funds for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Seniors, absorbed with having a good time while doing a little studying, looked forward to their reward - a diploma. AJ Monica Trent and Cynthia McNorton question Alan Ca1houn's secret to senior success. BJ Foreign exchange student, Juan Hidalgo, reviews his algebra before turning it in. CJ Deeply involved in and enthusiastic about their work, HECE stu- dents, Robbi Tucker and Teresa Fletcher, wait patiently for prospective customers at their bake sale.
