WITNESSES ATTORNEY for SENIORS 611155 J-Hsfory As the dawn settled unsuspectingly over the earth in the fall of 1940, seventeen mothers were franti- cally trying to dress squirming bits of humanity. It seemed that these future seniors just didn't want to learn anything more than to make mud pies or to elude the sheriff's possee. But, alas, their struggles were in vain, school was upon them. As this tender scene fades away we find ourselves, at last, in the factory of learning. Listen closely and you may hear shrieks of terror as parents depart and Cecil Crider, Eva Carroll, Peggy June Williams, Jimmy Parr, Mary Anne Evans, Bettye Powell, Merlene Carroll, Cherry Brown, Marianne Caldwell, Nancy Keaton. John Mayo, Ann Butler, Glenda Cole, Vinson Alexander, Bubba Fly, Dean Appleton and Bobbie Sue Cox were left in the presence of teachers who were wondering if these darlings, who looked so innocent, were hiding any booby traps. Each day brought new worlds to conquer and this bunch caught on fastg they even succeeded in dri- ving Miss Young, the first grade teacher, into marriage. the succeeding years which were spent in seperate buildings because of the war boom were under the direction of Mr. Bradberry, Miss Ocie, Miss Reba, Miss Jane McLean, Miss Holmes, and Mrs. Hattie Keaton. ls there a soul now alive that fails to remember that fateful day when Miss Hattie, bustling back from the office, softly crept into the library and peeping through the curtains caught our heroes talking? I suppose the sight must have amazed her, for she fairly swooped down upon unsuspecting heads and demanded her revenge! Funny why no one could sit still for a week. But we must hasten on or we shall forever remain in grammer school. After the sixth grade Miss Edith, Miss Vennie, Miss Nola, and Mr. Cooke had the pleasure of polishing us up for high school, After the green shine of a freshman wore off, our high schoolcareers were filledwith experiences of Mr. Thomas suspiciously writing excuses and the hard wham of a size eleven shoe belonging to Mr. Mayo, Then came the hardest battle of all--Ceasar! But without Miss Johrmie gently threatening to drag Latin students to the office the cause of education would be forever lost, As sophomores and juniors we struggled along packing pretty green bugs to Mrs. Hicks, shouting po- etry at Mrs. I-laun, pestering Mrs. Davidson for the page number of a speed test, and convincing Mr. Odle we knew the difference between NaCL and HQO. At last the big yearl Our senior year has been bursting with tears, joys,hopes and new rings. But beneath it all there is the fervent hope that as we step through another portal it will be toward success and honor for M, H. S. See you in the Hall of Famel Your Historian
