Graduation of Greenlee I wins Rreaks Off Relationship with Family. “A pleasant association with a fine and cooperative family will be broken when Precious and Pansye Greenlee, the only twins in the senior class, graduate from Steph ens-Lee. This association began in 1939 when James and Johannah, the two elder children, entered the 9th grade. Four years later, in 1943, both were graduated fro n the school with fine citizenship and academic records. In swift suc cession names of other inem >ers of this Ridgecrest family continued to appear on the commune merit pro gram: Dorothy, 1947; Earline, 1948; Fannie, 1949; Margaret and Ralph, 1952. This year Precious and Pansye, the youngest of this big family of ten boys and girls, will see their names listed with the graduates. Each day the members of this family caught the school bus which brought them to this school. Should any accident occur in which the bus was involved, the Greenlees caught a ride or boarded the city bus in order to be present each day. The record made by these young people has been an enviable one. No students have been more co operative with the school in its efforts to develop fine young men and women. James H. Greenlee should be justly proud of his sons and daughters. Widowed when Prec ious and Pansye were scarcely school age, Mr. Greenlee reared his lovely family alone until a fairly recent marriage. His sons and daughters are justly proud of him. Stephens-Lee regrets that there are no more Greenlees to attend this school.” The above article was printed in the May 27 issue of the Skylighter, the monthly newspaper published by the students of Stephens-Lee High school. We of Ridgecrest are proud of the record of the Green lees in this school and want to congratulate Mr. Greenlee on the school record of his children. Personals. _ . - Mr. and Mrs. J. J.
