Many a fondmother accompanied Mary or Johnny to school,but quietly left when they found Mrs. Brown,the first grade teacher, to be a gentle, kind person with a wonderful sense of humor.Twenty-eight pupils of the first grade classhave dropped out along the way and have beenreplaced by twenty-two other students who havejoined us at various points during grade schooland high school. We are sure that those twenty-eight students who have moved and are nowattending other schools have a pleasant memoryof their school days at Ellettsville. Each of thosetwenty-two students who now attend our schoolhave been welcomed into Ellettsville School, andare now one of us.The eleven original seniors include: Barbara Gillespie, Alice Richardson, Mary ElizabethHarris, Anne Faulkner, Barton Stines, BobbieGene Freeman, Betty Burch, Violet Webb.

Several of the presentSenior Class entered Ellettsville during the primary grades and seem to have belonged to ourclass alwavs.
