Spotting the
Eighth Graders
—Enid Ayers and Adele Tuttle
After receiving a permit from Mrs.
Hedrick we (Enid and Adele) passed
up the stairs to visit the eighth
graders. The first room we come to
is Miss Raper’s class. Looking through
the window, we see most of the grad
uates of Robbins (Adele’s Alma Mater)
and Grimes (mine). Sitting on the
front row is Kitty Philpott busily en
gaged in English (wanna bet?). Betsy
Myers, who is supposed to be doing
her English, is passing some pictures
around. “Teeny” Redwine is engaged
in talking. Herbert Sink, Adele’s neigh
bor, and Richard Smith, Bryce’s
brother, are “cutting up.” Like good
little girls, Mary Jane Shirley, Mary
Helen l.organ ;,nd Maxine Russell are
doing their English. Then we slipped
silently -ut of u.is very quiet (?) room.
Going out in;o the new building
we stop to do some reminiscing about
the good ole days when we were
freshmen. There we meet Mrs. Berry
out in the hall and she looks a little
tired. No wonder with 40 or 45 stu
dents to teach. Her class is very quiet
’cause they’re reading. Amelia Brown
looks up and smiles. We wonder if
she is reading about horses? Grey
Davis, Norma Cohen, Janet Brown
and little Joe Bafford are just read
ing, too. Maybe we missed something
in the eighth grade.
When We enter Mrs. Crouse’s room
we learn that she and her students
are correcting N. C. History. Her’s
seems to be a very good room, at an
swering questions. Joan Green is bus
ily daydreaming. Don, Patty Hege’s
little brother, is sitting at the front
of the room being a good lil’ ole boy.
He’s really a character, from what
we’ve heard and seen.
Leaving Mrs. Crouse’s room, we go
back upstairs to Mrs. Gibson’s room.
Gee, these lucky students. Mrs. Gibson
has a very pleasing voice and she
surely does know her literature. We
hear a small voice at the back of the
room, and stretching our necks a lit
tle we see a small blonde. She looSS
like someone we’ve seen before. Now
we know, it’s Roland Swing’s sister.
Having peeped in at all the doors
and having tried to And all of the
eighth graders, we return to the
Lexhipep room, glad that we are dig
nified seniors, but realizing that the
eighth graders will soon take our
places.
