Mrs. Nettie Bell Pinkston Cole, of Phoenix, Arizona, read the homecoming
reports in the column lad September. She wondered why the class of 1920 who
had four members of the original class of eleven in attendance was not
mentioned. This interesting fact was not reported to us so was not mentioned.
It is never too late to mend! Nettie Belle wrote Ruby Jo that the class of
eleven graduating in 1920 are all living and "doing well." Mrs. Warren, Ruby
Jo, wrote and got a list of the class. Their present names and residences. A
class member, Johnny Nell Blankenship Evans supplied the list.

Forty-one years ago! All eleven still intact and four of the eleven in
attendance this year! Certainly a record. Those present for the 1961
celebration were Mrs. H. C. Evans, Vivian, Louisiana; Mrs. Jimmy Cole, Tucson,
Arizona; Mrs. Lena Harrison, Greenville; and Loyd Griffin, Sulphur Springs.
The class in 1920 under the leadership of Superintendent E. H. Watson are: Foy
Thomas, Dallas; Loyd Griffin, Sulphur Springs, Haskell Warren, Holbrook,
Arizona; Rachael Kerr Braly, Houston; Ruth Norris Fox, Dallas; Juanita Gibbs
Daniels, Wylie; Fleecy Clemmons Belcia; San Antonio; Willie Sparks
Christopherson, Shreveport, Louisiana; Lena Harrison Rowell; Greenville;
Nettie Bell Pinkston Cole, Tucson, Arizona; and Johnny Nell Blankenship Evans,
Vivian, Louisiana.

Miss Mary Eastwood has a list of classes and the baccalaureate programs dating
from 1921 to the present, all except the year 1923. Fortunately "Miss Edna"
has that particular one and in time it will be added to make the list complete
and somewhat historic.

The information given above through the courtesy of Mrs. Evans and Mrs.
Warren, will extend or rather begin Miss Mary’s list one year earlier.

Few written records are kept in the small communities. They are of interest as
years go by. (November 24, 1961, The Celeste Courier)
