o man lovev W. O. Cherry, Sr.—“I drove a Roland bus for three years, made a double run and hauled eighty-three or eighty-four pupils. The buses back then had side benches and saddle seats. After I quit I really missed those kids. It was really a terrible thing to drive that bus; I had to keep my window open just to blow the smoke out of my face ....If our younger generation wants progress our country will last another 200 years, but you know yourself they are going to take our place and if they don’t want progress the country will just go down.” JOHN BYNUM—“I’ve been in two worlds; back when I was young it was just different, no more alike than daylight and dark. People used to think more of one another. When I was young the parents were the boss. They were strict on their girls and their boys too. Young people today ought to be the hap- piest on earth and appreciate what they have. They have every- thing at their fingertips.” 4—AGE

Entertainment has changed too. When I was a girl we went to church or to singings or we didn’t go at all .... Some parents today are too lenient with their children. If this country is to last another 200 years things will have to change.” 4 JOHNNY CARTER—“Young people have the world in a jug. They aren’t chasing rainbows, they’re just trying to find the pot at the other end .... I wish I could have had more education, but I wouldn’t have wanted it to have changed my life much.” JENNY BROOKS—“I have three girls that graduated from Roland. I really think it’s nice for anyone to get an education. Everybody that can ought to try to. When I was a girl we had to work and didn’t have a chance to go to school. I think it would really have been a help to me now.” AGE—5
