Class History On a bright September morning in 1941, the red brick school building opened its doors to admit 31 first graders in the arms of Miss Alyne Seal. This group didn't realize that almost twelve years later, six of its number, Betty Kirby, Alta Holder, Billy George Draper, Jimmy Cole, Lawrence Odom, and Jackie Odom, along with nine other students who joined them at various times, would walk out of a more modern version of the same building wearing caps and gowns and carrying diplomas. The graduating class is quite different from the group who forced themselves to eat green beans in the second grade (after we learned that Hitler didn't like them.) Bobby Moseley and Greta Gene Hughes joined us that year. Mrs. Marguerite Riggs was our third grade teacher, and Bobby Stanford joined us. At the end of the year we happily moved upstairs to the fourth grade and Mrs. Winnie Minick. However, we were sad to be leaving the cleanliness contests. (The winners received huge lollipops and were allowed to eat them in class.) Robert Cudd and Murl Bishop joined us that year. Miss Winnie taught us again in the fifth grade, where we received Elaine Baker, Mack Warfield, Carrol Moore Elizabeth Belcher from the fourth grade. This year the girls and boys stopped fighting each other and started chasing each other. Mrs. Burroughs ruled us with a ruler in the sixth grade. Joe Phillips joined us and displayed his artistic talents on the walls of the school. Mrs. Brown was our teacher for the seventh grade. We were very sad when the gym burned in December. In the eighth grade we came into the new building. Mrs. Cleo Lockhart was our teacher. She helped us put on a health program over KDNT. Seven students ran neck and neck for valedictory honors. Carrol won, and Elizabeth and Betty Jo were salutatorians. All of our present graduating class were among the 23 grade school graduates that year. 23 students entered high school in September, 1949- We were welcomed by the upper classmen who initiated us into the FHA and FFA clubs. The initiations were physical and mental terrors for us, but we lived through them. Mrs. Alyne Chastain, English teacher, guided us through all our high school activities. During our sophomore year, our sponsor was Miss Loreta Smith, homemaking teacher. Coach Ken Kearns frowned on our many class parties, but we didn't give them up. Our junior year was filled with plans for the Junior-Senior Banquet, football games (we won bi-district championship), and basketball. Mr. Neilan Cook, agriculture teacher, was our sponsor. Mrs. Pat LeBeau helped us immensely with the banquet. The theme wae Hawaiian and we had Hawaiian guests. The senior year began with a bang. We elected Mr. Allen as sponsor and Miss Callie as assistant sponsor. Miss Mizell, English teacher, was a great help in producing our annual. Annual sales and advertising were very successful, thus leaving the class with sufficient funds for an enjoyable senior trip. We were unfortunate to lose Murl Bishop, Duncan Lynch, and Bobby Moseley, who had played an important part in obtaining the bi-district football title for the second time. We have had a wonderful time during our school years and will always carry the memories of that time with us.
