CLASS HISTORY SEDGE GARDEN For six long years, with eager anticipation, we students had been awaiting the arrival of school days. Finally the time came and early in the morning we boarded the bus for school. Mrs. Ellis and Miss George were our teachers in the first grade. The entire class had whooping cough, including the teacher. With a whooping good time we finally made it to the second grade. Miss Linville and Miss Davis were our teachers this year. If the little boys misbehaved, they had to wear a baby dress outside at recess. Of course, the little girls never needed any punishmentg they told on the boys. Our biggest pain in the third grade was arithmetic. Mrs. Rosemond and Miss Linville had quite a time with us. .Finally we began to understand this subject a little better and were then promoted to the fourth grade. This year, we were the headaches of Miss Linville and Mrs. White. Poor Miss Linville, three years with the same gang!!! We began our study of geography and some thought it interesting, while the majority of us found it very hard. The fifth grade found us struggling with history. Oh boy, what a .hard subject, and with the subject we began last year!! Mrs. Crews and Miss Bolick were our in- structors this year. With the sixth grade we had finished half of our schooling and thought we were practically grown. Mrs. Crews and Mrs. Greer must have had their hands full with all of us grownups. As seventh graders we began noticing the opposite sex and the girls began experimenting with lipstick. We were quite excited when some of our girls were called to the office by Mr. White, but he only wanted them to work in the lunch room. Miss Sprinkle and Mrs. Furches were our instructors this year. Mrs. Byrd and Mrs. Pinnix were our teachers in the eighth grade. Some of us began singing in the Glee Club and we considered this quite a privilege. We also began changing classes and' this made us feel extremely important. Some of us thought we were in High School, but we were only in the eighth grade, remember! With quite a lor of enthusiasm, we advanced to the ninth grade. At that awkward age of grins and giggles, we pestered Mrs. Bondurant for a year. Entering High School meant more than just another grade in school It meant working out schedules, deciding on subjects and learning to be in class on time. With the feeling of knowing little and plenty yet to learn we proceeded to the tenth grade. Mrs. Parks had the burden that year. We began to study biology. We had several boys and girls who were fortunate enough to make the basketball teams. This was the first year we were lucky enough to have Seniors with enough ambition to have an annual. With the get- ting of autographs and saying goodbyes to the Seniors, teachers, and classmates we were out of school for our summer vacation. 0 P Z as li l! M UNION CROSS It was a confused group of kids that thronged the first grade classroom that bright September morning, for never before had we encountered such a tremendous crowd of children. We found that life was to be quite interest- ing at school, because we were to have an extremely nice teacher, Miss Livingood, by name. She patiently guided us, as we learned the alphabet and mastered the art of counting to one hundred. In the second grade, we found that it was going to be quite different, as we were to start having home work, and also because our teacher, Mrs. Cline, was very strict. We learned to be very, very obedient, as we were forced to wear baby clothes, if we disregarded her instructions. 4 By the time we reached the third grade, our class had increased in number so much that our principal was forced to divide us into two classes, under the direction of Miss Pratt and Miss Teague. Again in the fourth grade we were divided and Mrs. Smith and Miss Teague received the responsibilities. This year found us struggling with the new and different sub- Jeff, geography. At the end of the year, we had suc- cessfully completed our work and thus were promoted to the fifth grade, with a happy heart and big ideas. Mrs. Davis was our teacher in the fifth grade and the year passed rapidly with the usual activities. Along with geography carne history, which provided added excite- ment, as we were greatly interested in the history of the 'United States. At the beginning of the sixth year of school, we dis. covered we were to have a charming teacher, but her vname was so hard to pronounce that we were forced .to call hereverything but her name, which was Mrs. Knouse. Seventh grade arrived, under the teachings of Mr. Teague, and many exciting love affairs. Mr. Teague really learned how impudent children can be at this age, even though his patience was everlasting. Eighth grade arrived and we really began to think seriously of the opposite sex, parties, and post 0ffiCe'!! Our teacher, Mrs. Wooten, offered us helpful guidance in preparation for High School, which we had been anticipating for so many long years. g For years we had been anticipating the arrival of High School days. At last they were here. We discovered many new experiences under our very capable home room teacher, Mrs. Brooks, and struggled continuously with the beautiful novel, Silas Marner. On the whole, it was a wonderfull year, filled with skating parties, dances, and other social activities. Everything a Freshman could desire, was ours for the taking. . We progressed rapidly and found ourselves, in the tenth grade with Mrs. Lemons, as our chief adviser. As we were the Seniors at Union Cross, we received numerous privileges, which, heretofore, were foreign to struggling Sophomores. The comedy, Here Comes Charlie , was presented by the ninth and tenth grade students under theedirection of Mrs. Brooks, our dramatics teacher. This play was entirely successful and left students, who had participated with a feeling of great pride. The .year ended too soon, as we Union Cross students hesitated to leave the beloved school which had been our haven for so many years. But summer vacation had arrived, and we departed, knowing that the following year would be a new and different school with different people as our associates. ,
