Boys at Work
    Last Saturday was "old home week" for a group of 1959 grads who work in
Dallas, but who come home regularly on weekends.
    These boys, always good friends in their school days, work and play
together now as before, these two summer and one winter away at work.
    This particular morning the big pecan tree in the Hunter yard provided the
shade for work on their cars.  They washed, polished, changed tires, and
general house-cleaned their autos, presenting them for the "races," we suppose.
    They are all seemingly doing fine, their first year away and on their own.
    Melvin Smith, Ralph Evans, and Jerry Swindell all work for Procter and
Gamble. Dwain Lamm works for Murdock Lead Company.  John Hunter works in the
Western Auto Warehouse.  Jack Warren drives a truck for R. W. McKinney
Construction Company.
    Melvin, Dwain, and Jerry have an apartment, but "eat out" mostly they said.
John lives with Dick and Marita Hunter.  Jack gets to drive home most nights.
    In that same class group f boys, Buddy Hopewell and Archie Lowe are in the
Navy.
    In this same class of 1959 were Anthony Mulkey and Mickey Pierson, who are
in college.  Anthony went last Sunday back to Murray College in Tishomingo,
Oklahoma, for his second year.  Mickey checked in on Wednesday this week in
Austin College, Sherman.  They both have been conditioning for football all
summer by hard outdoor work, and also individual conditioning sessions on the
local football fields.  Their college football work began this week.
    Donnie Duncan, a third year Austin College student and football man, also
reported there for practice.  School work doesn't start for a number of days.
    Others to School
    Miss Annie Katherine Norris will go soon  for the continuance of her
teaching in the Boude Storey School in Dallas, on September 6th.  She teachers
junior high work.  "Annie K" will go all decked out in a new car, an Impala
Hardtop Chevrolet, a beautiful all white with red interior.
To Mesquite
    Mrs. Mildred Barnard will spend the latter part of this week in Mesquite in
a general faculty meeting and teaching in-training, before school beings on
September 6th.  The fifth grade in the Tysinger School is Mrs. Barnard's work.
This is her fourth year in this position.  She will live in the home of Mrs.
Tula Alder, who teaches also.  Mrs. Alder is the mother of Bro. Gene Alder, a
young Baptist minister here several years ago.
    Another Celeste lady will teach in Mesquite.  She is Mrs. Ann Clark Bishop.
She will teach fourth grade in the new Lamar School.  Mrs. Bishop recently
graduated from ETSC with a degree in homemaking and this summer she did six
semester hours of graduate work in elementary education.
    The Bishops, Don Ray, Ann, and little son, have made their home here with
Mrs. Myrtle Clark while Ann finished her college training and while Don
commuted to work daily in Dallas.
    Their residence will be more convenient for their work now.  They moved
over the past weekend to South Garland, fairly near the school district.
    The little son "Dab" short for Dana Anson Bishop, was well pleased  with
the looks of the new home for there were horses on the (iron) fence and he was
happy with his own room.  He admitted that he will miss the daily play with his
little cousins, children of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Clark.
Another Teacher
    It is interesting to note that in this same new school, Lamar, in Mesquite,
a first grade teacher will be Miss Shirley Hopewell.  This young lady is a
Celeste and East Texas graduate.  She has taught first grade in Hereford for
three years.  She has taken work this summer toward a master's degree.
The Blyths Move
    Mr. and Mrs. Billy Joe Blyth and children have moved to Ore City, Texas,
where Mr. Blyth will teach six grade and coach all athletics.
Home From Bermuda
    Miss Jonnye Joe Hunter returned Monday from a two months visit in Bermuda
with her uncle and family, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Pierce.  She gave us only a
brief report of the trip.  She has returned to begin teaching second grade in
the Ascher Silver Stein School in Dallas on September 6th.
