Betty Jo Cantrell attended the school reunion at the Alexandria Fairgrounds Saturday and saw a lot of people she knew.
The children in DeKalb County are back in school following their summer vacation. Going to school was always fun for me. I enjoyed learning and school also meant that I would have time to play with my friends.
The first school that I attended was Cave Springs, located near Indian Creek. It was a one-room building with Mr. Alton Tramel serving as both principal and teacher. He was a large man who had a strong voice. While being strict, he was always kind to us.
At Cave Springs, the boys played in one hollow and the girls in another one. I was shy and timid, and wanted to be near my brother, W.B. Cantrell, who was two-years ahead of me in school. W.B. got teased by the other boys because I wanted to hang around him, but he went along with me playing with him until my cousin, Herbert White, got involved.
Herbert told Mama to make me quit hanging out with the boys and start playing in the girls’ hollow. I enjoyed being with the other girls, but I just wanted to be near W.B.
Mama gave me plain orders to play only with the other girls, and even though it hurt my feelings, I knew that Mama’s orders had to be followed or I would get a real whipping.
I can almost see it now and how I had to wipe away the tears,  but after a few weeks, I learned to handle my emotions.
