Rumors, Myths, Legends & Yarns |
| John Miller | Playing match box football was the most important thing to do in study hall! |
| Sue Ellen Lupien | Has anyone found a practical use for our very detailed study of glass tube bending during of chemistry class? |
| Sue Anne Jenkerson | Mrs. Siebert's words of wisdom during annual staff meetings. |
| Linda Creech-Moser | We used to really have great pep rallies! |
| Danny Dozier | Do you remember when I used to be in a band with John Vinson. John played drums and I think Chris Sims played guitar. We ere called the Gestapo and one of our gigs was at somebody's parents house. We were set up in the back of a pickup truck and everybody danced in the driveway. Those were the gold ole' days. |
| Andra Engles-Whitman | I remember car pooling our Senior year with Karen C., Susie C., Becky C., and Nan V. We always had to stop at Eastside Grocery so they could buy cigarettes! I didn't smoke but we all smelled like we'd been at a pool hall when we got to school. Those were the days! |
| Linda Hawkins-Cooper | People are always asking me where I am from with my southern accent--I proudly say Batesville, Ark! (Linda lives in Yates City, Illinois, or is it Illinoise?) |
| David Taylor | Does anybody still remember when Mr. Haley took my truck keys because Harold Jones was too slow to jump in the back on the way to Tommy’s at lunch one day, and was running along holding on to the tailgate in the parking lot? Why didn’t he just get Harold some faster shoes? |
| John Vinson | At play practice I was cuttin' up and Patsy Craig told me I was giving her hot flashes. I thought that meant I was making her mad. The next morning in Trig Class, Mrs. Newton was upset at our behavior and I asked her if we were giving her hot flashes! She told me to get out of her class and never come back. She found me after lunch and told me she realized that I didn't have a clue what a hot flash was or I never would have said that in class. It's funny now. |
