Notes from classmates ...

Billy Ruth: I was surprised to count 31 students. And teachers today think they have it bad. There was a girl in our class with red hair named Christina or Christine and she died after hitting her head on the pavement playing Red Rover, does anyone remember anything about that? I don't remember what class but I remember going to the funeral. Anyway, here it is and I will now send the 1st grade photo.

Linda Drake Kenny: Mrs. Matthews taught the third third grade class at Payne.

Sharon and Jerry Lusk: Mrs. Matthews taught the third class - I was in that one. I don't know if I have a picture anywhere or not. For sure don't know where it is if I do. Maybe someone better organized than me will have it. (Mrs. Matthews was Margaret Bunnell's aunt - think I'm right about that.)

Wayne Collins: I may have been mistaken. I may have been in Mrs. Mathews class with Susan Bright, and Mrs Hicks may have been the 4th. Gosh I don’t remember that was over 50 years ago.

Harriett Hawkins: Row 1 - Dickie Arnold; Row 2 - #2 -Donna Moore?, #7 - Bill Marlin, #11 Wayne Collins. Hope this helps. These pictures are great.

Linda Drake Kenny: The girl on the second row, second spot from the left might be Donna Moore. She moved to Mooresville and her family ran a restaurant in Franklin called Moore's on Jefferson Street, right where the bank is today, across from Henderson's....where Wheeler's Jewelry was. She moved in 4th grade. Yes, Christina Gill died when we were in fourth grade. And Mrs. Matthews was Ann Dunn's aunt, I believe, not Margaret Bunnell's. Am I right about that?

Yes, Linda - all that you mention bring back memories! I also remember that Bill Marlin and I both had a crush on Donna. Bill and I lived right down the alley from each other and were best of friends - but that Donna strained us a bit! Puppy love, aint it great!? I had forgotten what she looked like, but that's her alright! throb throb throb

Mike Whitaker: 3rd. Grade Pictures, Mrs. Hicks room. 2nd. from the left on the top row is Jimmy Pruitt. If I figure any others out, I will forward Same.
