“THANKS GRADEMOTHERS
//
The seniors mil never be
able to express in words
the closeness that.each of
us feel to our dear grado-
mothers. Each gradcmother
had made our four years of
high school seem a little
more enjoyable.
They have entertained us
at manjr dinners and part
ies during our high school
days. Not only do we vj-ant
to thank them for the en
tertainment, but also for
being so kind and willing
to help in any situation
that we faced.
We shall always remember
I'ffiS. CARL MITCHELL, I-IRS.
ELTON MAOTIDIG, MRS. EDWARD
COZu-lRT,' ?Jid MRS. EVERETT
LAI'IM as the best grado-
mother s that any class
couid possibly have,
FRESI-DffiN FROLICS
V/e will never forget the
time that they gave us our
first wiener roast. VJe
went by activity bus to
the park in VMlson for the
occasion. ¥e xrere ' accom
panied by the grademothers,
MS. LASSITER, M. and iffiS.
KIDCEON, and SUSAN and
I-:.\RTHA JO BROCK. I'll al
ways remember how we look
ed ‘as .we climbed the mon
key bars and persuaded the
boys to push us in the
swings. After a delicious
meal, v:o boarded the bus,
rode up town, and. attended
a movie.
SOPHOMORE ;SOCIALS
VJhen VO finally bec.ame
sophomores, our gradc-
mothers decided that we
were a little too old for
such things as \ri-ener
roasts and picnics so they
entertained us at a SAINT
criticism.
The cheerleaders enjoy a
night out for dinner each
time .one- has a birthday.
PATRICK'S DAY PARTY and
DAIICE. This party was held
in the school cai*eteria.
It was quite .-mazing to
sec how four women coul.d
transform our .lunchroom
into a ballroom. They must
have had a little help
■from. Saint Patrick
hitii-
self. There was so much
food that I think a fei\
students felt themselves
turning a little green as
the party gradually' ended.
On February 13, '60 which
was during our junior year
our same grademothers en
tertained us at a barbecue
dinner in the dining room
of the Spring Hope Grill.
Hardly anyone was able to
finish the pecan pie that
the grademothers so kind
ly prepared for our 'des
sert, This uas a memorable
occasion for all of us.
SENIOR SPECIAL
The highlight of our sen
ior year was when we were
entertained at a -dinner
party in the home of Mrs.
Ed Coaart on December l5'.
Much work had to be ddne
for such a festive occa
sion. Sjjice it was during
the Christmas Season, the
Cozart home v;as decorated
throughout in the tradit
ional red and green. There
was much Christmas spirit
as we were seated four to
a table for a ■ woridei'full
meal by soft music and
candle light.
After we had eaten, wo
gathered in the basement
for dancing and games.
As we prepare to leave
high school and go our
separate ways, we will al
ways remember the happy
timus that only our grade
mothers could have made
possible.
