The Lunch Room I started to school in 1950 at Altus Denning Grade School. Things started changing fast once we got off the dead end road and started to school. Things just were not as simple anymore. Mama and Daddy were not around to get us out of messes we may get ourselves in to. We were not used to this. Teachers didn't seem to be worth a darn to me.   Useless!  If I wanted a peanut butter sandwich at 10 AM they wouldn't get it for me. Out for first recess I could smell thing... Read More

The fifth formers were all right because it was their School Ce... Read More

  MISS SULA KATE
Miss Sula Kate was quiet a lady. She was Superintendent of Schools during most of my High School Years. She also taught some classes one being my Geometry class. She had also been my Daddy's teacher when he was in first grade. She was only a teenager at that time which they allowed then. Miss Sula Kate was never married. She told a bunch of us girls once that she sure didn't want a man in her life trying to tell her what to do. She said women go down into the depths of... Read More
