CLASS HISTOin
K> Jack Brannon
When the Senior Class of 1929 and
1930 started it's career way back
in September 1919, a number of very
un-learned and very small children
were registered for nine months of
strenous study under the tutorship
of Miss Delhia Kesselus. Only ten
out of these 27 now graduating
started in the first grade, namely,
Theu Perkins, Francis Fisher, Inez
Schilling, Beth Fowler, Leah Daw-
son, Waggoner Sanders, Albert Lock,
Matt Andterson, Lillie Belle Hoff-
man and Jack Brannon. After i
terms work in A, B, C,'s we passed
on to the seconl grade. The term
ul 1920 and 1921, was spent in the
deeper subjects of the second grade
and our teacher was Mrs. Hazel
Morris.
At the end of the second year most
of the students passed on to the
third grade. Wt were taught bv
Miss Maggie Chalmen.
During the kcss'cii of 1922-2U we
were taught by Mr?. A. B. McLavy.
This year we welcomed into our
<cla&*, Ernest Buniva, Clydt Rey-
nolds, Dan Reynolds, Demingo Bun-
iva and Charley Meyers.
We were again taught by Mrs.
A. B. McLavy during the session of
li &{-24. We were joined by Loi3
Ralston but Lottie Nelle Simmons
left us to attend the Green's Prairie
School. We were fast approaching
the session of the seventh grade
which was the climax in our noble
career.

In 1925-20 we were lucky enough
to have such competent indirect in-
structors as Sup't F. R. Matthis,
Miss Flora Davie Miss Mackie Scott

teachers were. Miss Olivia Moore,

year was one of much excitement as
we were at the age of frivolity and

thought that we were very learned,
