We found, to our surprise, Mr. Clayton was a regular fellow whom we re- spected and liked, and also that our heads were rapidly deflated because we weren't the only class in high scnool. In the ninth grade we picked up Lenora Warren, Mary warren, Marie Robi- son, Thelma Martin and Jack 0'Wuinn from Ruffin Schools and also traded Mr Clayton for Mrs. Mae Anderson. Ch, how we hated to give up Mr. Clayton, but we soon learned to love Mrs Anderson, too. Instead of the 3 Musketeers our class doubled that The 6 musketeers included Mary Folk, Violet Gibson,Kath- ryn Kicklighter, Rosa Lee Martin, Bobby Berry and Margaret Sauls. This year we thought we were jolly Juniors but were suddenly awakened to the fact that the 12th Grade had been added to high school and naturally, we were nothings'’. Miss Sauls was added to the Home Economics Department — and Mrs. Anderson moved to Smoaks. Joyce Bunton became the first housewife of our class and Fete Johns traded Lodge Schools for Carlisle Military Aca- demy in Bamberg Maybe this year we're jolly juniors ! That we must be for we're in the 11th Grade Miss Power left us this year and Miss Louise Pontious from Walter boro took over to try her hand at teaching us English. Miss lucre tia Brabham traded Lodge for Orangeburg and we Inherited Mrs. Wlldred Willis of Denmark in our Commerce Department. She was also our home-room teacher. Shortly after school started, Thelma Carson decided housekeeping for the nan she loved was much nicer than coming to school every day, so 3he left us.... Our 6 Musketeers divided into two companies—Rosa Lee, Violet and Kathryn in one and Mary, Bobby and Margaret in the other. Romances really blossomed but soon faded out as the weather grew warmer. At last---We are dignified Seniors I What few of us that are left, I mean. Mrs. Willis is again our home-room teacher, but Miss Pontious turned her duties over to Mrs. La venia Stahl. Bobby Berry became the third house- wife, followed by Grace Barnes and Jessie Lee Polk. Mary Polk is attending Columbia College and the remaining few of us are here at Lodge trying feeb- ly to make our fare to Washington in the Spring. Mrs. Willis firmly beliefs we'll make the grade and with her pulling for us we're bound to get there... Yes, we are graduating—and with us, one of the finest leaders a class could possibly have. A person who has been a friend, an excellent teacher, a good sport along with us, and the best Superintendent any school ever had, Mr. Padgett We are so glad he waited until we finished to graduate from the teaching profession. Thanks so much, Mr. Padgett, for all you've done to guide us in the right way during these five years. Honie Proveaux Charter Member Senior Class I
