Williamson, Member of Tarrant Co. School Board. It makes us quite happy to bestow this honor on “Mr. Bob’’ because of his untiring service to our school, his high moral standards and his never- ending interest in the welfare of all the school children and schools jn this couyty. May the success of this loved c itizen of our midst be handed down to our posterity, and may the good that he has rendered be felt for many generations to come. SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE A School Annual is a book of memories, and it is a cross-section of your schoollife. This edition represents a definite step in the progress of your school. Success is operated on the self-service plan and the way to achieve is to offer worthwhile service. Be a ‘ Builder-Up ’ and not a ‘‘Tearer Down.’’ Reach out and strive for Sater things. ‘‘Those who seek and strive will surely someday find,’' Place faith and confidence in those of authority. Res- pect those to whom respect is due, and in turn be respect- ed. Superintendent, James A.

They were greeted by Iris Williams who was running a shop for selling baby garments and by Royce Self, who was pastor of the Baptist Church. From Hollywood arrived Lemoyne Savage looking very stylish in her fur coat and carrying a waterbucket for a handbag. Tommy Bulin, who owned a store for disposing of rabbit hides and tin cans, was chairman of the reception com- ' mittee. George Adams, who was running the Kennedale drug store, treated everyone to anice cream soda while the bunch was razzing Barbara Willhelm and Charlene Turner because they had grown so fat. Charlene had her four little boys with her while Barbara had left hers at home with Grandmother Willhelm. Wyatt Winslett, who sold insurance on commission in the city of Mansfield, was present and demanded that chewing gum be served after the soda, so that they could chew and chew like the class did inthe good old days. Mickie Wyatt piloted a plane from Chicago and landed atthe Municipal Air- port. He accompanied Bennyruth Shelton, one of his passengers, to the re- union. They were surprised to find that Frances Hale had graduated from college and was teaching music in John Tarleton. They were also surprised to find that Jane Luttrell was teaching in the Kennedale School where Mr. Arthur still held the title of superintendent, but was too old and feeble to do much more whipping. The crowd later all decided to go toa watermelon feast out on Ben Middleton’s farm where Bernice Morris insisted that she tell them of her missionary trip into the jungles of Africa. After the feast, chewing gum was again passed around by members of the Ninth Grade class of 1947. JUNIORS ROW I Hazel Sims: There is more than one fish in the pond.
