For several years, we attended school regularly, studied hard, and brought flowers every day to the teacher. Out of this class of fortyfour pupils, Ellen Altman, Lucinda Haselden, Johnnie Sue Jones , Pansy Powell, Thomas Avant, Charles Stone, Bedford Eaddy, William Coker, Joe Has e 1 den, Mavis Dennis, Dell Carraway, Bobby Poston, and Kola Joye have remained to the end. Wayne McDaniel joined us in the second grade, Mildred Ann Thompson in the third, Grady Benn'ett in the fifth, and Rachel Melton in the seventh. We went through the trials and tribulations of grammar school under the wise guidance of Mrs . Geraldine E. Patterson, Mrs. Burgess L. Altman, Miss Hattie Durant , Mrs. KathleenStoddard,Mrs,Dick Martin, Mr. E. O.Eaddy, Miss Isla Cooper, and Miss Jill Gaskins, Thus we completed grammar school. We arrived bright and early ·one September morning, less we should be late, for our first taste of high school. We were joined by students. from nearby elementary · schools. Mary Poston.• Betty Furches, Mary H. Dowdy and Billy Hatchell came from Trinity; Nancy Jane Stone, A. J. Prosser, Myrna Altman, Deloris Stone, Iva Jo Cook, Joan Nettles, and Fannie Jo Powell from Vox; Mary Evelyn Parnell, Erna Grace Matthews, Patricia Ann Cox, Ronnie Todd and E 1 tin g Hanna from Prospect, Gwendolyn Lee came from Hemingway. The first year, we were scarcely noticed, We just took the cheese left by the upper classmen, Rentha Ann and Badger Bazen joined us in the ninth grade, Ovila Talbot in the eleventh, and Nedo Alt mp.n in the twelfth . During our tenth ye a r we visited the historic city of Charleston . It was an enjoyable trip. Our Junior year m3.y well be remembered, Since we were Juniors , it was time to en t ertain those dignified beings called "Seniors," We sponsored a Hallowe 1en Carnival, in order to get funds for the JuniorSenior banquet, We planned and carried out the th_eme, Oriental Gardens. We were represented at Girls' State by Ellen Altman and Johnnie Sue Jones. Wayne McDaniel and Grady Bennett represented us at Boys' State. The class of 1956 finally came to light. We were looked up to by all the other students. As seniors, we worked hard spon soring suppers, selling magazine subcriptions, calendar listings, and presenting our senior play, A FEUD IN OVER YONDER in order to obtain funds for our Washington trip. ' Betty F~rches edited the GOLD AND BLACK and Ellen Altman the S C H 0 0 L FLASHES. Deloris Stone ' was selected MISS GOLD AND BLACK and Johnnie Sue Jones was voted . MISS HI MISS. Betty Furches recei ved the D. A . R. award, Fannie Jo Powell won the Local Betty Crocker Horr1emake:r of Tomorrow Contest. The Flashes basketball team had many '56 Seniors on i ts squad, Ellen Altman, Deloris Stone, Rentha Ann Bazen, Naricy Jane Stone and Iva Jo Cook contributed much to the girls' team. Wayne McDaniel, Charles Stone, Grady Bennett, Bobby Post'on and Billy Hatchell did as much for the boys ' team. \......- Patricia Ann Cox, Nancy Jane S t one, Rentha Ann Bazen, and Betty Furches made history. They were the first girl bus drivers in the history of Johnsonville School. Soon after our wonderful trip to Washington, we were busy with plans for graduation. So the four shortest, happiest years of our lives came to an end, r ----School days shall oft' remind us, That we led a life sublime, And in parting, leave behind us Records in the school of time---- ' Johnnie Sue Jones Class Historian I I �' Se11ior Hi-Cigltts tr fjl~ • • ' • • • • • z.. • I ,,.. • Willie, I know you love me . . • I can have any man I want . . .

Though I guess I'll have to be content with my color T. V. set, that our only class scientist, Sonny Talbot, prefected . "This program is brought to you by the new greaseless Vitalis.--" Now that head looks familiar - - -why, it's Nedo A ltman demonstrating the new Vitalis. I always said Nedo's head would amount to something important. This ce rtainly is a bad time of day to get a tele vision program, especially in New York City. But look! There is a familiar face. Why it's Bobby Poston, a famous news commentato r, doing the announcing. There a re SO!ne more of my old clas smates from dear old Johnsonville Hi. Why, this must be our class reunion being broadcasted from coast to coast. It is so clear --i t seems so near- -I feel as though I am there with them . There on the platform, gaily decorated, stands the retinng mayor of Johnsonville, Grady Bennett, and his successor, Ronnie T odd . And didn't I understand Bobby to say that Rev. A. J. Prosser, Jr. would lead the invocation ? Yes, there he is- - the same old A . J. Wait a minute! ! The camera has just focuse d on the band section, starring ''The Alleycats", under the direction of the biggest cat of them all, Wayne McDaniel, introducing his famous torch singer, M avis Dennis. She is singing our favorite of long ago , "Memories Are Made of This." Bobby is now going to call each member of the class to the stage t o introduce him, and le t the class see what fate has done in ten years . Mr. and Mrs. Neal .Miller, the former Lucinda Haselden , followed by their seven sons are coming to the stage. They journeyed here from Pleasant Hill, S . C. in a streamline trailer. Ellen Altman, who is now a famous writer of Broadway Hits, is telling us about her latest hit "Guys and Dolls" , whic h is sure proof of the experience she re ceived serving as editor of the SCHOOL FLASHES. Here c omes William Coker, a great movie producer, and a few of his friends whom he signed up for his latest picture, "The History of 'Possum Fork", to be presented in cinemas cope. His leading sta r and starlet are Joe Haselden and Pan sy Powell. This is a sure thing for the Os ca r Award this year! Betty Fur che s steps up with her sixth husband and her latest book, HOW TO LEAD A SUCCESSFUL MARRIED LIFE. Mary Dowdy and Patricia Cox favor us with the new dance ve rsion of "Salome" with the Mambo beat. Next on the program is Nancy Jane Stone. She says that she and Rentha Ann Bazen now own the first bus route to have the triple decker buses. Of course, Rentha Ann had to stay in California to look after the offi ce. Bobby introduces another great author, Badger Bazen, who has resigned himself as a bachel or. He gives us a review of his one and only book , HOW TO RESIST WOMEN. Ah, there's Mary Poston , a writer of Valentine ver ses. She reads her latest d itty, "Stars, hide your fires; etc . . • . " Our class must hav e a few salesmen. Bobby says that the newest freckle c ream on the market is demonstrated by Johnnie Sue Jones. From her looks, it shows remarkable results . . Bedford Eaddy , president of the International Liar's Club, greets his old classm a tes with a toast. Charles Stone appears before the cam era and what's that he has in his hand ? Why, I believe-- - it is! A toothless comb, guaranteed not to pull your hair. But he'll have to prove it by someone else, for fate, or perha ps experiments on this comb, have left Charles bald -headed. There before the camera is Dell Carraway and Myrna Altman, sole owners of a beauty shop for men •• only" located near Johnsonville, S. C. Well, every program has commercials and this one is no exception . . . Was that Billy Hatchell reminding us not to miss the S aturday Evening games ? Well, I see his basketball career with the J. H. S. Flashes has been worth while in his new job as president of the National Sports Association. Bobby finally got Mrs . Roger Burrows, the former Kola Joye, away from Iva Jo Cook, who now sells the baby layette that Gwendolyn Lee designed. Fannie Jo Powell and Joan Nettles own a very prosperous diner on the o ther side of We llm an Combing Company. • Erna Grace Matthews , Rachel Melton , and M a ry P a rne ll are taking their plac es as members of the Johnsonville High S c hool F aculty . Oh, refreshments are being served. Who is the generous one? It is none other than Mildred Ann Thompson with ice c ream from her "Lickum Ice Cream Parlor." Well, this was a wonderful evening and I c an't think of a better way to spend my free hours than seeing my old friends that helped me share the most wonderful years of my life at J. H. S. and .• . Wha t's that ? While I was day dreaming there w a s a commercial featuring Thomas Avant, singing with his guitar about Elting Hanna 's new men's shop selling the new gl ass suits for half pri ce . The reunion is over and I enjoyed it as much as if I had been there with all my old friends. In ca se you are wonde ring who we a re, well, d o you remember Mr. Floyd saying we were the most important class ever to graduatefromJ. H. S. ---in 19 5 6 ?
