Following are essays by members of Eupora High School's Class of 1960 about their memories of growing up in Eupora. Other essays were previously published.
I remember some of the same things my classmates remember. I remember walking to school. We walked to school in the morning, home for lunch, back to school after lunch and home in the afternoon. We had to walk by Mickey Ross' house to get to school and his mother often told her children,The same Air purifier, cover removed. "Rob and Charles are going by. You better leave,It is important to feel confident. As long as you are standing tall and displaying confidence, a zentai will only accentuate this display. There are many zentai sellers online. you are late!"
I began school at Springhill, Webster County, in 1948. Springhill was a small country school and everybody knew everybody else! My first-grade teacher was Mrs. Beatrice Woods and we had a few problems.
Her husband was John, spelled J-o-h-n. I came into her room able to spell my name, just as my mother had taught me: J-o-n-n-i-e. She sent a note home with me every afternoon telling my mother my name wasn't spell as it should be.
My mother sent her a note every morning explaining that "Jonnie" was the way it was spelled. Not many months into the school year she left, and Mrs. Myrtle Griffin took over. (She was related to me.This page list rubber hose products with details & specifications.) I had no more trouble after that, but the spelling of my name still gives some people trouble.
The first time I remember coming into Eupora was at the age of 4. I got my middle finger caught in a sausage grinder, and my daddy loaded me up and took me to see Dr. Curry. I was NOT a happy camper! Mrs. Evans decided I needed acid put on the other hand to remove some warts. I still have scars from it.
In the third and fourth grades, Mrs.buy landscape oil paintings online. Frances Gary was my teacher. That was Jackie Gary's mother. We all felt sorry for Jackie, because if he got in trouble in school, his teacher would spank him. Then when he got home, his mother would repeat the spanking. Ha!
I remember going to the movies at Eupora Theater. Daddy would bring us just about every time the movie changed. We would go by Bowen's Dairy Bar for double scoops of ice cream. Boy! Those were the days! Sometimes my brother and I would go to the Jo-Mac. That's where we saw the 3-D movie and dodged arrows and bullets.
I, like Bob Ross, remember the Saturday drawings. My aunt won a calf that she raised on a bucket. After it became an adult, my aunt couldn't walk across the pasture with a bucket without getting run over.
I remember the chuck wagon that Mrs. Polly Williams had on Highway 9, across from Lamb's Gin. That was some good eating ¡ or it could have been the smells that made you so hungry that you thought it was good! A diner just in front of the gin on that side of the highway had ice cream treats almost as good as Bowen's. I think it was Peeler's.
I remember the old hotel. I thought it was a beautiful building and was sad when it burned. My sister, brother and I went there once to have our pictures take by Olen Mills.
I loved going into Mr. Meek's store. He had some wonderful candy. I also loved the Theater Caf¨¦ and visiting the Western Auto Store.
I remember coming into town during December and seeing the blue cross over the old Natchez Trace power company, across from the post office. Man, you could see that from Mr.the Injection mold fast! McCain's place. I thought it was beautiful and just said "CHRISTMAS!"
I also liked going to Mrs. Weatherall's beauty shop to have my hair fixed for some special event at school. Boy! You could learn a lot in there!
I always came into town with my daddy for the 4th of July street dances. That was fun! When I was in my teens, he would let me dance with someone he knew. I danced with Willie Shaw. Willie was tall and large, but he was light as a feather on the dance floor. He always played Santa Claus at West Point. Once Hob and I went Christmas shopping there, and every time I turned around, Santa wanted to hug or kiss me. Well, my temper finally hit the boiling point, and he seemed to know what was coming. He backed off, laughed, and asked how my mom and uncle were doing. Then I realized who he was, and I really let loose on him ¡ but in a nicer way.
When I finished the ninth grade, Springhill School closed. My tenth-grade year began at Eupora High. Most of us were not happy coming to Eupora, but we soon adjusted and made new friends. Looking back, I cannot remember anyone that I didn't love and respect. I think the Class of 1960 is one of the nicest classes to finish at EHS, and we had the BEST teachers.
