Many interesting things occurred after the 1956 Wild- cat had gone to press, last March. First of all, we were warned that members of the Accreditation Committee from Austin would inspect our school. Excitement ran high as faculty and students prepared to make the very best impression possible on our important visitors. Aprii 4, finally arrived. We were very good and knew our lessons that day. The teachers did the best they could, and we heard later that the Committee gave us a Favorable report. After that the Junior and Senior Classes tried to outdo one another in showmanship. The Negro Minstrel presented by the Junior Class was a smash hit . The seniors in Cus- ter's Last Stand performed before a full house. Then we began preparations for our F.H.A. Banquet. Many ioyous and playful hours were spent d ec o ra ti n g the school cafeteria. Our mothers all came and seemed surprised that we could do so well . But the spotlight of the year was held by the formal banquet of the Juniors and Seniors, which will be explained more fully, later in the book. May brought worm weather, happiness and sorrow. This closing month consisted of class parties, picnics, tests, and a final good-bye to everyone.

'all and Winter of 195625 7 On a sunny September 3 the school bell rang again. Happy, exuberant children stream- ed into the classrooms. Some of course, dread- ed the thoughts of study, but all were eager to be together again. New Faces were seen in Faculty, as well as, in the student body. After school got into amore settled routine, F. H. A. started the year activities with a memorable week. It began with a box supper followed by the installation of officers, a slum- ber party, and winding things up by attending Church the following Sunday. Following this the P.T.A. held its annual carnival. A large percentage of the community attended, and had ahappy time, playing games, getting acquainted with new teachers, and visiting old Friends. A Few days later many students enioyed a day together at the State Fair. Then began the ball games with their thrills and disappoint- ments. With homework, games and more home- work, we still found time for occassional skat- ing parties and wiener roasts. In November the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades presented a Thanksgiving program. The audience especially enjoyed the square dance number. The Christmas activities consisted of a pro- gram bythe primary grades, Christmas trees in every room, and parties galore. These and many more things happened to set this year apart--a year to remember. Ruth Upchurch seems pleased because Donnie Hatcher has bought her box.
