Only six of the thirty-one that are graduating started out that year—Ann Roberta Beazley, George Hail, Jr., Tommye Hill, Alfred Pettus, Katherine Peavyhouse, and Mattie Mae Brent. We entered the third grade under Miss Wearen, but she didn’t stay with us long because of illness and Miss Elsie Coleman took over the class. Barbara Nunnelly, our little red headed,freckled face member, joined us, coming from the nice sunshine of Florida. The north also sent us two members, Wicky Pence and kinky headed Harold Koenig, both coming from Ohio. In the fifth grade Betty Ruth Fields joined us. It seems she liked us so well that she skipped the fourth grade to be with us. We moved on to the sixth grade and Lily Dunaway, coming from Mt. Moriah, was waiting to join us. The seventh year of our school life saw our class grow somewhat. Lloyd Baxter, Howard Conley, Eddie Harris, and Ralph Hester decided they would stay in the seventh grade two years and join our class. In the eighth grade Walter Holtzclaw waited for us. Walter thought he was smart when he got by the seventh grade and the other boys failed, but he just wasn’t smart enough to make the eighth grade in one year. In the middle of our eighth year Joe Givens came to our class from Hubble. Barbara Nunnelly left us in the fifth grade to take a trip to California, but she just couldn’t stay away. She took her place with us again in the eighth grade. Slowly we were growing up. Now ready to enter high school. The Freshman vear we only had one member to come to our midst. Mildred Greer came to us from Danville. We were still moving on. Sophomores now, with several new members taking a place in our class. Talitha Berlepp came to us from McKinney, Nancy Pence from Hustonville, Elmer Anderson stayed in the Sophomore class two years in order to be with us. Lena Turner, who had been out of school several years, came back as a Sophomore with our class. 2iyj 7J 7Jj;7V:77 777777Z7T777777777-777777777777777r777777T7
