-w,.,,..w-v-..-...-...,..-....,.,...- ,..., those babyish fifth graders with us in our class when one of the teachers, Miss McReynolds, resigned. Billy Don Meyers, a new addition, and Jimmy Smith were both famous when Billy came to school in pink earmuffs and Jimmy broke hisarm. Mr. Parks, an active Boy Scout master, turned the interests of most of the boys to scouting. Charles Moore wore his new uniform nearly every day! Art and music became important to us as our interest in culture increased. Yes, we were grow- ing up! This year we lost only one member, Della Horn, but we gained several-- Billy Don Meyer, Clifford Stewart, Viola Berry, Lela Highfill, Billy Joyce Jones, Ellen Syrle, and Beulah Gose. Marvin Horn and Albert Terrill were both with us now, too. Some boys were explained the mechanics of the paddle-system for un- necessary recreation in band. Mr. Farrell took Roger ,and Jimmy into the office for a little visit. Our seventh grade class gave Audrey Smith more than one opportunity to exer- cise her increasing patience. It seemed that no one could surprise her. Charles Moore and Delbert lhitenack were punished for playing games on the lawn--poor flowers! Several of the active members of the class were the objects of much ad- miration when they deliberately broke a teeter board and went without entertain- ment for some time to pay for it. Romance was very important this year, so notes flew thick and fast between some of the 'steadies --J. Alan and Jennine Carson being seen together most of the time. All the young Lochinvar's were so manly-- many of them swung their fair sweethearts ever! recess. Billy Don Meyer and Roger were excused from music and spent the res of the year in art class with the girls. They did anything for attention in those daysl We found that we had several new members added to our class--Jack .Holloway, Ruth Bishop,Jenninethr- son, Lois Dotson and Marie Howell. John Ferris, Wayne Ramey, Erma Britta1n,Billy Joyce Jones, and Albert Terrill all moved away. We were all saddened by the death of one of our newer classmates, Marie Howell. The eighth grade was our first year at the High School Building and we had a new superintendent, Mr. Tuck. We were a little dazed at first, since everything was so new, but we soon grew accustomed to the changes. Jack Holloway created a mild sensation when he emerged from the office, blushing with pride, after his first whipping in the new surroundings. He and Bill Meyer were much admired for their courage in facing Joe Jackson's paddle. Later in the year Jimmy Smith yuned the 'We No Sit Down' League, when he, too, was excused from class. We attended our first Sadie Hawkin's Day Party and found that many of the lads in our mngres- sive class were very nimble-footed. At the end of the year the majority of the class graduated, much to the surprise of everyone involved. We had several'add1- tions to our class, consisting of Billy Joe Milner, Ralph Campbell, and John Ferris--back with us from Oklahoma City. Marvin Horn, Charles Moore, Ruth Bishop, Jennine Carson, Della Horn, and Dolores Moore all moved away from Mooreland. The ninth grade brought many new changes into our lives. We were finally a part of the High School that we had gazed at so longingly for so many'years. We furnished amusement for the entire school at Freshman initiation, when we had to wear pajamas and parade down Main Street. We enjoyed working on the school paper and were all thrilled to see some of our names in the paper. The .boys were able to join F. F. N. now, and Ladies' Night was something to look forward to, especially the trip to Alabaster Caverns. We gained many new members, some from country schools and some from other towns,' who have made our class much more interesting. The new students were Alfred Clark, Harold Grittin, Charles Moore, Armeta Dutton, Juanita Maddux, Delores Moore, Mary Osburn, Frances Patterson, Bonnie Sears, Ellen Syrie, Lillie Mae Miller. Those who dropped out were Charles McCormick, Ben McCoy, and Lois Dotson. It seemed to us that the tenth grade was almost impossible. We were all surprised to find that Wilbur Henderson was the proud possessor of some new puppies, which he showed to his girl friend after school one afternoon. Coleen was in a daze for weeks as a result of this 'puppy love.' Mrs. Harper struggled through English II with us, and I guess we learned a little. Miss Johnson, our music teacher, directed us in an operetta--'In Old Vienna'--which several of the Sophomores participated in. Roger seemed especially interested in it, specializ- ing in the night practices. We wonder why? Band was revived and we had lots of fun on our trip to the Music Festival at Alva. Four of our boys--Roger, Johnnie, J. Alan and Delbert--lettered in basketball, and most of the F.F.A. members went on the annual trip--this time to the Ozark mountains. The Sophomore girls were unfortunate in losing Ralph Campbell, Alfred Clark, Harold Grittin,Charles Moore, Jimmie Reese, Marie Croisant, Lillie Mae Miller, and Mary Osburn. We admitted Louise Best, Nannie Mae Malm, and Alberta McMullen to our class with much enthu- siasm, but Alberta soon left us. The eleventh grade made us realize that we must begin preparing for our Sen- ior year, with its many expenses. We held a raffle--or rather attempted one--and sponsored a series of Lyceum Numbers. Our Junior play was 'Henpecked Husband,n and we had a skating party to celebrate its success. It seemed we were always in 'Hot Water' this year, particularly in English class. Most of the boys spent the majority of their time in the office. There was an unofficial skip day, and since it was unauthorised we were heavily punished--declaring that we'd never do F ,-- v-rw '1-W-vfrf-f-f-K--' -- --'Y--P f -T - -v v - ------. ......f ,...-.-.-.--. ,,..--.m-- . .we as , , ,
