Mesa One NINE Tih N FIFTEEN Class History Llizabeth Julian. If there is luck in: odd numbers, we should be a most fortunate class, for “we are seven,” we have three teachers - and this is nineteen fifteen. - But as a matter of fact, we have had a pretty tough time reaching our present goal. We are not willing to admit that we:are odds and ends but none of us started out under the same teacher. ‘Everett Brown came first but hasn’t ae here longest. He stayed at home for two years. He says he stayed be- cause-he was not well, but I have a sneaking idea that the path of learning was rather thorny for his tender feet. Alice Hardin entered about one month later than Ev- erett. Her father brought her in a buggy from her mountain home forty miles away. - These big buildings, the great crowd of children and the strange faces so ut- terly bewildered her that every one’s sympathy was en- listed and she was petted to contentment. Her sweet nature and bright mind soon made her a great favorite end it was hard for us to give her up the years she guaved at home with her sick mother. In 1902, Willie Benfield and Myrtle Stoekton came and Willie has been with us ever since. Myrtle’s father smoved to Georgia in 1910 and she went to the Georgia School for one year. But that was enough for her and she wended her way back to the Old North State. Elizabeth Julian from Charlotte and Josie Durham from the county of Chatham entered in 1903 and Jennie Jones, a fat little black-eyed girl, in 1904. (7)
