SiiMjwuf a Ctaa , of, 1953 In the year of 1941, fifteen of the students of the present class of 1953 marched bravely up to Mrs. Dozier's first grade room, not realizing what was before them. They were Eula Jones, Mary Joe Anderson, Laverne Hurst, Charles Hume, Victor Young, Don Dawson, Norma Ray Bourne, Shirley Martin, Sue Taylor Good, Tina Rice, Lula Gay Griffin, Eddie Mac Turpin, Short ’ Saufley, Jim Frisbie and James Reed. We had no new students in the second grade, but we all did well under Mrs. Montgomery. In the third grade, under Miss Singleton, we were joined by a light haired girl and a dark haired boy, Carolyn Wyler and Bobby Hester. Not only did we gain students, but we also had seven other teachers. In the fourth grade Eugene Lawrence straggled in from Hubble to make Miss Denham's class a little larger. Rosemary Tillett paraded in from Hustonville in the fifth grade under Miss Jones. In the sixth grade Ruby Adams, a very small girl, James McGuffy, the boy with the curly hair and Briar Clark, the fearless debater, all joined our ranks. Miss Dudderar was our teacher. In the seventh grade we caught up with lover boy Don Potts. Bill Cox, the brains of the class, skipped a grade just to be with us, and James Weaver, our boy athlete from Hubble just quietly walked in. Miss Davis taught us. Nope, no new students in the eighth grade, but Mrs. Embry worked us hard. Virginia Berry, our girl athlete, and Billy Mac Bell, the ladies' man, put their names on our ninth grade roll with Mr. Ball as our home room teacher. We were the last class that submitted to the freshman initiation. Miss Ruth Davis taught us as sophomores and no new students were gained. No one joined us as juniors either, and our home room teacher was Mr. Ball. Now we have become seniors. The addition of Jim Wilmot made our final total twenty-eight. For the third time we were stuck with Mr. Ball, but we enjoyed every minute of it. Thats all the history, but each one of us is planning a fruitful future.
