This morning I received a package from Harriett Goodin Small, my longtime best friend. Inside was a Christmas Ornament of "Johnnie's Drive In", our hangout for hamburgers, boy-watching and boy-chasing! I laughed and laughed. What a great gift! Who but Harriett would know I would love it --out there every night with Harriett Lucille, Margaret Rosalie and Chloe Karen! What a treat! Then Margie Ferrell had her green truck and we had WHEELS! Life was incredible!
I worked in the Principal's office and made eighteen dollars a month. That was pocket money! But I had all the keys to the buildings and I was popular if you needed to get in the building at night! Dick Brown called me "Mrs. Williams" since I ran everything for Harding, baby!
What great memories! I loved Charleston High School! I still know the names of everyone who went to school with me. I typed the grade averages for 4 years. Of course I know the names! It was a wonderful time for me. Yes, I still know the class averages of the Sr. Class: Leslie Bowers (l), Ben Bledsoe (2) transferred in and really shouldn't be on list; 3 Mary Virginia Russell 4. Daniel Moit and 5th Jane Cooper. I was lucky to be in top five with all those brains. I hardly opened a book but all of them studied.
Thanks Harriett, called you back and we took up where we left off! Always!
