CLIWSS HISTCDTQEJ For many years now, we've been looking forward to the time when our class would be making history--the history of Mooreville School. We all have eagen joyful anticipation of the futurq,and yet, we look back sadly and fondly to our school days. The majority of us started to school in 1935. We have four members--Dorothy Gunter, Dannie Lee Raper, Clarence Westmoreland, and James Marvin Cayson--in our class at present who started to school at Hooreville. The beginners' teacher was Miss Pauline Mattox. Mrs. Baker was the first grade teacher, and Mrs. Ethel Lindley taught the second grade. During these and the following years, other members of the present senior class moved into this school. Mrs Tennis Elliott taught the third grade when we were there. She was a favorite teacher of all of us. In 1958, we became fourth graders, and we were instructed by Hrs. Aaron Morgan. We had the pleasure of being one of the first classes to be in the new school building. This building is now the high school building. When we were in the fifth grade, we accomplished lots under the leadership of Miss Catherine Farris. A new member of the staff, Mrs. Julia Cbiffin, was our teacher in the sixth grade. She later became our history teacher in the seventh grade. The next two years, our seventh and eighth grade years in school, we were in the study hall, and had different teachers for each subject. In 1943 and '44, our freshman year in high school, we all felt that we must have been at our height of learning, but that thought d1dn't last long. We started out that year with 22 in our class. A few dropped out, and we also gained a few new members. We learned the routine that all freshman classes must learn--being in the background,and having last choice of things. Brother Abernathy was our sponsor that year. The next year found us on the second step of the ladder--we were now sophomores. M s. Aaron Morgan was chosen as our class sponsor. i s Junior year brought a big time for us, for we had an op- portunity to enter into new clubs and activities. We were initi- ated by the seniors into the Commercial Club. The biggest event, however, was when we received our class rings. lith the help of our sponson Mrs. Tlras Gray, we entertained the seniors with a banquet at the Tupelo Hotel. Then came our senior year, the last of our high school. We began school in September with an enrollment of 19 in our class. During the term, however, we gained one member, Juanita McKinney, and lost three--Artis Loyd, Joe Basham, and James Cayson. Under the direction of our sponson,Mrs. Clyde Westmoreland , we presented a three-act play--Damsels Lg Distress. Our gift to the school was a money safe. It is with our best wishes that we leave Hooreville School, and we sincerely hope that each class to follow will accomplish as much in school as we feel that we have.
