(Our Pioneer Seniors There are twenty seniors who can look hack and say “I remember when . In other words this diversified group are the original seniors of Rowe High. Out of a class of fifty-eight, they are the sole owners of the privilege of starting at the old East .Main Road building and graduating in the class of ’39. .Mary Louise can recall when she was tickling someone and nearly got knocked out for her pains. Hazel Montgomery often speaks of a paper Jack O‘Lantern which caught fire on a bookcase in the first grade room and was thrown outside. Hazel Lauderback recollects her first spanking received for singing in line. Many of the group remember when Russell Nilkey had his mouth taped for talking. All too numerous were blunders such as Mary Alice made when she told the first grade teacher, “Me brought my lunch.” Pleasant memories will come to all our '39 seniors hut these twenty will have one of the brightest of all—I started at Bertha Bailey Virginia Hicks Wilma.
