he got out of the building, the principal saw him and talked him out of it. Many exciting things happened in the weeks to follow. The chil- dren were taught the A B C's and also taught to count to ten. Some thought this Wasn't as exciting as staying home and Watching tele- vision, but they, Cor their mothersl stuck to their guns. As the time Went on, the chil- dren learned new facts about reading, printing, and numbers. ln that year, an important year for them, they were forming the habits and ideals that would carry them throughout their life. - Donna Nicholson Page Four HLITTE TRGOPER S Another year, and another new batch of children to tame. The main thing these children were taught was to get along with others. A rule that was also told to them and enforced was no Whispering . That was Very hard for some. ln many homes, on the morn- ing of the first day of school, chil- dren TNQTS being pulled out of bed and their mothers were coaxing them to get ready for their first day of school. ln a few homes, though, some youngsters were up at the crack of dawn and ready for school at 7:30. At 8:lO the children were here, some rel.uctantly dragging along behind their mothers. Others, with starry eyes and a joyous expres- sion on their faces, were leading their mothers by the hand. After the mothers left their chil- dren, the teacher began to settle ?he youngsiers into their seals.

'THE Mllllll-lill-Illlll Il What a courageous group it was that met that memorable day for the first time when this announcement was issued, Annual Staff Meeting Today . We unanimously agreed that day we would have the biggest and best annual yet. In the next few meetings, we met photo- grapher representatives to choose the one to take our annual pictures. Porter's Studio, whom we chose, has proven their willingness to co-operate with us. The events which followed are more clear- ly explained by the jobs on the staff. Those directing activities Under the Big Top were: David McMurtry, manager of advertising sales. He set forth zealously with the respon- sibility of obtaining the financial support for the annual. He was assisted by Robert Puzey, .loan Arthur, Josita Brocato, Judy Johnson, Junior Sturdevant, Kathleen Merrill, Dale McCullough, and Julia Thompson. David then arranged the ads for the printer, His philosophy of Oh, we've got plenty of time, was reassuring to the others. The art editors, Grayce Waters and Dorothy Stephenson, proved their artistic ability in their drawings for the annual. They also as- sisted in other parts of the book. It is the duty ot the art editors, along with the editor and assistant editor, to choose the cover. Betty Good and Donna Nicholson carefully took the snaps lor the annual, so as to include pictures of as many of the seniors as possible. Sports! How hard it was to express the enthusiasm ot victories, the breathlessness of a tied ballgame, or use the proper words to de- scribe a defeat. Robert Sanders was our capable sports reporter. Marie Childers wrote the calendar, our school dairy, and submitted some of the jokes for it. The prophecy required a great imaginative talent and time. It was the work of Jean Henderson and Grayce Waters. Joe Hobbs suggested and wrote the class will. The busy B's, Betty, Bonnie, and Beverly labored long and burned the midnight oil to complete the typing for our deadlines. Tommy Godhy and Joe Hobbs are the annual salesmen. They were quite busy selling the Syllabus, the pride and product of all con- nected with it. The business manager, Dale McCullough, is the mathematician of the group. He made the financial report and conducted the business transactions. The editor, Kathleen Merill, has to be the diplomat for all of the staff. She reminds us of approaching deadlines, works on every part of the annual itself, writing, selling ads, etc. She acts as a secretary for annual correzpondence, she even knows every page by heart. The assistant editor, Julia Thompson, collaborated with the editor in the work and also in the pleasures derived from working on the Syllabus. To Mrs. Griffith, who not only gave lreely her time and efforts, but also, invited the staff to meet at her home several evenings to work, we owe all our thanks. - - Julia Thompson.
