WATER TANK AT WELCH BYPASS
HELEN CARSON ARRNGED FOR THE TEACHERS TO MEET WITH WAR CITY OFICIALS FOR A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION BEFORE HEADING BACK TO COALWOOD
THIS GROUP OF TEACHERS HAD A BUSY DAY. THEY ATE LUNCH AT THE COUNTRY CORNER. RED CARROL TOOK THEM TO CARETTA TO TOUR A COAL MINE AND THEN ON TO BIG CREEK HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE HOME COMING PEP RALLY AND A TOUR OF THE SCHOOL. AT 2:30 THEY WERE AT THE WAR CITY HALL AND BACK TO COALWOOD TO THE MUDHOLE CHRUCH TO MEET HOMER HICKAM. A POT LUCK DINNER A THE CHURCH WAS SPONSERED BY KATTIE JONES AND THE WOMEN OF THE CHURCH. IF THIS WAS POT LUCK, I WANT TO GO BACK FOR A PLANNED MEAL, IT WAS QUITE A FEAST. THIS TIME GAVE SOME OF THE TEACHERS A BREAK FROM OUR CURVY MOUNTAINOUS ROADS. SOME OF THEM HAD A LITTLE MOTION SICKNESS TO SAY THE LEAST. YOU JUST TAKE THE CITY OUT OF SOME FOLKS!
THE TEACHERS WERE INVITED BACK TO WAR THAT EVENING TO ATTEND THE FOOT BALL GAME. WHICH BIG CREEK WON BY THE WAY!
SOME OLD FRIENDS GOT TOGETHER FOR A DAY OF 4 WHEELING IN THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS.THEY ALL SAID WHAT A GOOD TIME THEY HAD BUT I NOTICED THE NEXT DAY THEIR OLD BONES WEREN'T MOVING AS FAST!
