Kenneth Davis

Absolutely ! I was checking to see if anyone was paying attention. Thanks Brother Eugene ! It's too quiet out there.

Man I hate it every time we lose another classmate  

ZIP, ZIP, ZIP

That is wild!! Just yesterday I was thinking about that Latin teacher who chanted ZIP to get us going at the pep rallies.  Anybody remember that teacher's name??

Kenneth Davis

Hello Ruby, thanks for joining in the conversation. I know the answer, but let's see if anyone else will join the discussion. Surely you and Eugene can't be the only folks out there. Good to see your face again....

You're right Edward, it was Rev Brooks, just one of our Great Instructors and Entertainer. Thanks for considering to communicate on the website. Maybe we'll inspire others to do the same.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES TO EVERYONE BORN DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH !

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Words by Emerson, perhaps guided to us from the English classes taught by Mrs. Griffin, Miss Burrow, Mrs Brinkley, Mrs Simmons, Miss Black and others. The pace of nature has allowed you all to patiently achieve the milestone of a joyous Birthday Celebration. Enjoy the milestone and continue to be blessed. The Easy to Read version of Jeremiah 17 : 7-8 states :

 “But those who trust in the Lord will be blessed.
    They know that the Lord will do what he says.
 They will be strong like trees planted near a stream
    that send out roots to the water.
They have nothing to fear when the days get hot.
    Their leaves are always green.
They never worry, even in a year that has no rain.
    They always produce fruit.

Continue to be strong among the Warrior Nation......

Hello Warriors, so good to see the communication flowing again. Happy Birthday to all of the March babies!

Pat stated I knew someone who should know about the alumni festivities next month but my source knows nothing about it. She is trying to check into it for us.

Keep communicating!

A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have to count your blessings and be happy. ~ Abhishek Bachchan ~

"Happy Birthday" in the key of Stevie Wonder, to all my classmates celebrating a birthday during the month of April. You are as old as you think you are, some older than others within the class, but we'll catch up, Lord willing. Continue to count your blessings and above all " PLEASE BE HAPPY ". I'll pray for you, as you pray for me.

For all interested in the All Alumni Event, here's the website for additional information : http://warriorweekend.launchrock.com/  .

If I remember correctly, I saw Larry Milligan, James Moten, possibly John Thomas and a few other alumni in a commercial for the gathering. All of them were attending  a cook out behind the vocational building during a tailgate cookout at the stadium. Maybe they will or can shed some additional light on the occassion. Keep the communications flowing......

" HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY "

To all of my Beautiful Classmates who are Mom's and to those who are caregivers, I wish you all a glorious day.  " The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father." ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge ~

2 Timothy 1:4-6 Good News Translation

⁴ I remember your tears, and I want to see you very much, so that I may be filled with joy. ⁵ I remember the sincere faith you have, the kind of faith that your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice also had. I am sure that you have it also. ⁶ For this reason I remind you to keep alive the gift that God gave you when I laid my hands on you.

Rubystene Burks (Punch)

Thanks Kenneth for the thoughtful wishes. I'm always working on being happy every day!

Belated "Happy Birthday" & a "Happy Birthday" in the key of Stevie Wonder to everyone celebrating a blessing in the month of May.

"If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same." ~ John Oates ~

Enjoy your cake and continue to celebrate the blessings of life !

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" TO THE LADY WARRIORS BORN DURING THE MONTH OF JUNE

" I'm amazed. When I was 40, I thought I'd never make 50. And at 50, I thought the frosting on the cake would be 60. At 60, I was still going strong and enjoying everything. ~Gloria Stewart ~

I pray that you LADIES are "Still Going Strong and Enjoying Everything" that this life has to offer.......
