Here we learned the mysteries of writing and telling time. After a pleasant year we passed on to Mrs. Beatrice Tapp, whovery patiently pulled us through what to us were complicated math problems—division and multiplication; we also struggled through a new subject named geography. The next year in Mrs.Gledith Baynes room we discovered a hidden musical talent through the rhythm band. There wealso used ink for the first time. In the fifth grade Mrs. Maxine Sampson taught us the fundamentalsof presenting a book report. And in the sixth grade Mrs. Frances Deckard prepared us for juniorhigh.Next we found ourselves in junior high, wandering through the halls like lost sheep. Mr.Willis, our ;ponsor, helped us elect officers and supervised our parties. Mr. Ashel HawKins wasour eighth grade sponsor. The highlight of the freshman year was the Freshman Banquet which hadan Hawaiian theme. The initiation was a big event too. Death took our sponsor, Miss MildredReeves, and Miss Frances Harding and Mrs. Beatrice Overstreet willingly took her place. Assophomores we enjoyed getting revenge on the in-coming freshmen.Mrs. Overstreet again greeted us as sponsor in the junior year and Mrs. Viola Ramsey was theassistant. They worked with us planning the prom and raising funds for the senior trip. We presented our first play, Rich for a Day, in the second semester.Mr. Paul Schurtter guided us through the senior year and helped us with another play, BettyJane from Punkin Lane. We worked hard with bake sales, scrap drives, and chili suppers toraise money for the senior trip. At last graduation night arrived, and our class was on the top rungof the ladder, yet really on the bottom rung as we faced the future.BROTHERS COMPANY18
