Junior Class History In the fall of 1939 ten little bashful first school. Miss Colburn was our teacher and our was down the banisters. Our second grade found us with four missing from our class. Carol Jean and Joan were always talking so they were slways standing in the corner. Miss Toole was our teacher and she had a hard time doing any- thing with us. In third grade we had a different teacher who was Miss Smith. This year Shirley Ballantine and Virginia Moss joined us again from California. We didn't like it because we had to write our spelling words so many times,.so we used three or four pencils. In fourth grade, Mrs. Bennett was our teacher. we enjoyed our recesses-mostly riding the merry-go-round. We passed on into the fifth grade. We were still with Mrs. Bennett in our fifth year. we were now getting used to school and the subjects were harder. In the sixth grade we had another new teacher, Mrs. Ramsey. This year there were five new pupils that Qoined us. They were Phyllis Myers, Maxine Belew, Roberta Bacon, Eddie Smotherman, and Jerry Jenkins We started our seventh grade in Miss Sh1rley's room. We were still climbing higher with harder studies to do. Two more students joined us this year they were Melvin Scott and Betty Hildreth. Betty left us soon after she came. We were pretty happy to be this far be- cause we could play basketball and then could play other teams. During our eighth year Miss Shirley was still our teacher. We were pretty busy helping Joan Stout get ready for the Dallas County Spelling Contest. We were also getting ready for the eighth grade graduation. This year James Taylor and George Miller joined us from country school. The next year we entered the ninth grade. One thing we didn't like was imitation, especially walking up and down the aisles. We got kind of confused going from one room to the other for classes, but still we had fun. Bill Leggitt and Delores Twito joined us that year. During our sophomore year Barbara Scott and Lowell Wicks joined us. We were more accustomed to high school by now and, Hboyn were we ornery? The teachers were always calling down Joan and Carol Jean for talking. Our junior year finds us with eleven in our class. We are all looking forward to the banquet this year and hope the seniors have as much fun as they did last year.
