Dear Florelle,
As I write these few lines, I think of the girl who is always smiling or
laughing. You never seem to be blue. May you smile your way to success and
happiness, is the wish of a friend,

MARY BUIE
My dearest Florelle,
Now the time is drawing nigh for us to part, perhaps never to meet again.
Although I hope that's not true. Florelle, I have only known you for two
months, but you have proven to be a mighty nice sweet girl. I can never forget
your sweet and loving disposition.
Florelle, I think it is needless for me to tell you to remember the many "Latin"
lessons we have had together and the many times we have had to stay in.
When you get to teaching, don't get too big headed and forget me. Always
remember me as your true friend and write to me.
Just.....Mary Buie, Eddiceton, MS

J. FUTCH
Dear "Little Nancy,"
I reckon I would call it a good chance to get to write in your memory book
because you are a Senior and I, a fool-headed Freshman. Though I have only
known you a few months, I have learned to like you as a friend and
schoolmate. When you and Tew settle down in your humble cottage and you
need something to think of just get out your memory book and read through
it. Remember me as a schoolmate and friend.
In whatever you do, I wish you success. Please treat Tew as he should be
treated.
And remember just

MRS. BENNETT
My dear Florelle,
Of course, I shall always remember you and love you because you are so
lovable. I think of you best as you are in your home --- so kind and thoughtful
of your dear mother and father, and I am sure that "your days will be long upon
the earth."
Remember always that I love you. I am sure you realize that Longfellow was
correct in saying:
"We may build more splendid habitations,
fill our rooms with paintings and with sculptures,
but we cannot buy with gold the old associations."
With love and every good wish for your future,
Mrs. R. Bennett

C. M. W.
My dearest Florelle,
I will always rejoice that I came to Meadville, if for no other reason than
because I know you. We have had some good times together last summer when
we went to town every day together. Also, while packing tomatoes, remember
how we would slip off and get a "cola." I never will forget the morning I came
by for you and you were all alone sick in bed. I mean I sure did hate to leave
you alone.
Always remember the 1st day of April, I mean we had some fun.
I hope you live a long life, marry "Lorelle" and have plenty of "chillun" and
grandsons and daughters.
I wish you success in everything you try to do. Always remember me as one
of your truest friends.
Lots of love and best wishes,
Always, C. M. W.

SARA LOU ANDREWS
My dearest Florelle,
Just what I want to put in your memory book is impossible. But, anyway, I'll
put something. This session that we have been Seniors together has been one of
joy for me. I have found so many good friends and everyone has been so nice to
me. When you are thinking of your classmates, won't you please think of me ---
one who loves you?
I'm sure you will never forget our Education class, even if you forget the other
classes that we have been in together.
I love you lots and lots, write to me,
Sara Lou Andrews, Kokomo, MS

ARCHIE HEMPHILL
Dear Florelle,
It is quite a pleasure for me to write these few words for you to remember me
by.
Florelle, I have had the honor of being a classmate of yours for two years and I
have learned to love you as a classmate and friend, and what every your choice
of work your life's vocation may be, if it is an old maid school teacher or
cooking for "Tew," I wish you the most of success and happiness.
A friend always,

FLORENCE MOAK
Dear Florelle,
I feel it quite an honor to write a few words in your memory book as you are
almost ready to bid this old FCAHS farewell. It has been two years of pleasure
to me to be here with you and I shall always remember you by your lively
ways.
Well, Florelle, I sure hope as you go out into life, that wherever you may go or
whatever you may do will be a great pleasure and you will make a success in
your future life. However you may choose boiling water for "Tew," but perhaps
that will be a pleasure, too.
Here's hoping you will not have to read these few lines to remember me.
Love and best wishes,
Florence Moak, Meadville, MS; Route 3

ROBERTA STUART
Dear Florelle,
I have known you only a short while, but I know I shall never forget you,
even if I never see you again.
I will never forget some of the good times we have had at "ole AHS." For one
thing, the night that the school house burned and how we had to work in the
kitchen that week.
When you and ___ get married, think of me sometimes. I hope you two much
success.
Don't ever forget Aril 1st. I shall never forget it.
Florelle, I will always be your own friend and I hope you will be mine. It is a
sad thing to know that you all (seniors) will soon part from us.
"When you get married and your husband gets cross,
get the broom and show him who is boss."

BONNIE MAE JONES (WHITTINGTON)
Dear Florelle,
This page of blue I chose to write to you, my Nancy.
Is it possible that you shall ever forget me? I think not, because, Florelle, I
think you will always remember the "craziest" one in class.
Let me quote just one verse of "The Builders" and I'll bid you farewell.
"Nothing useless is, or low; each thing in its place is best;
and what seems but idle show strengthens and supports the rest."
Remember, I'm wishing you a life of happiness and success.
A true friend and classmate --- I love you,
Bonnie, Meadville, MS

MILDRED CAIN
Florelle, my dear,
I do hate to put this in here so you will remember me. Say, can't you
remember me some other way? I have known you two years and in that short
time I have learned to love you.
Do not ever forget the Back Porch girls, we have had some nice times together.
You must always remember me for you know I helped you get a ___ the first
school you ever taught. I hope you will fill the place as well as I told the
Trustees you would do. Ha!
Dearest, after the school building has burned, I cannot think of much to write,
it scared me so much. I am writing in your book just after the building burned.
I shall always remember that scare.
Florelle, I know you sweetest thought will be for R. T. but please think of me
some time, won't you? What ever you may choose as your life's work, I wish
you success. You have determination and I believe you will reach the goal you
wish to attain. You have here, this year. I hope you will have a pleasant
vacation.

BIRDIE
My dear Florelle,
I cannot think of anything that is as sad a pleasure as putting these few words
of memory down for you to read when you have chosen your life's vocation.
But we have to part with our dearest friends some time. And as you go out in
life to battle your own canal, may you ever gain friends as you have at AHS.
Lots of love, I am your friend always,
Birdie, Meadville, MS

MAISIE PARSONS
Dearest Florelle,
Well, always remember "the crazy one" who roomed next to you when you
were a Senior. Now you know I would love to be a little mouse some day and
steal around somewhere when you were not expecting anyone around and find
out how much "Tew" loves you. I hope that the days shall bring you joy and
peace. I shall always remember you. Now, as the time is drawing nearer each
day for us to part, I hope you will never forget me. When you want to laugh
and have nothing else to do, just turn over a few pages in this book until you
come to "this" which you cannot read.
May the sun always shine bright in your home.
Maisie Parsons, Lucien, MS

CLAUDE D.
Florelle, Sugar (or "Tew")
Oh! what can I say for you to remember me by. I know it will be impossible
for me to ever try to tell how much I have learned to love you this year. I know
I'll miss you so much next year. Bt wherever you may be, I want you to thin of
that "good" mean little ole Sis.
Remember the first day of April and all the pictures we had made, what we
said we were going to do with them. Ha!
Florelle, I hope you will be a success in whatever you undertake in life and
always remember the little "mean" girl who loves you still. Remember how Dell
and I have teased you about Tew.
Love,
Claude D., Roxie, MS Write me some time.

BRUNO
Dearest Nancy,
I have known you almost all of your school career, and if there is a harder and
more earnest worker in the Senior class, I cannot say who it is. Do you
remember how hard you used to try to stay ahead of me in spelling class?
When you and I are separated at the close of school, may it not be an end to
our warm friendship.
Always remember your dearest friend,
"Bruno" Meadville, MS

HUBERT LAIRD
Dear Florelle,
You said I was the only Senior boy that hadn't written in your book of
memories. But if you will remember me like you have "ole" Tew, I think it
won't be much use of writing in here. But I have enjoyed being in the class with
you these four years. For you have helped to make our class what it is today.
You will be teaching near home next winter, and I hope you will like that part
of the country better than any other place you have ever seen. We will depart
from each other forever as classmates, but hope we will see each other very
often in the future.
Florelle, I admire the spirit in which you attack your school work, especially
those algebra problems. Hoping some day to see you and Tew with a lovely
home.
Your best friend and the one who wishes you much success,
Hubert Laird, Little Springs, MS

Nancy Dear,
I now take great pleasure to pen these few words of memories in your little
book. But I regret very much to bid you farewell from the old FCAHS, never to
come again. Nancy, I have known you for three years and I have learned to
love you and have you numbered as one of my best friends.
Remember how you used to have to make "me" let your little "Tew" alone.
Nancy, whatever you choose for life's vocation, I wish you much success.
Remember I love you.

LILLIAN C.
Dear Florelle,
It is a pleasure indeed to be able to write in one of the sweetest girl's book in
school. We have been pals for a long, long time and I will never forget the
many times we have had together. Remember that Sunday Evening we
primped so to see a gentleman and then didn't get to see him?
Florelle, the time is drawing near when we must part, but I hope not forever. I
hope that when you and "Tew" get married, you will give me a thought once in
awhile. If there's a girl in the Senior Class who will make a success, it is you.
And maybe I will get to visit you when you are woman Governor. HaHa.
I wish you much success and happiness in life.
A true friend,

happy. I shall always remember you as one I love and who has been such a
dear friend to me.
My the good times we have had together. Do not ever forget one certain
Saturday night and especially one Sunday night at church in Bude. Oh, such
pleasant memories.
Always remember one who loves you,
