Schoolday Remembrances of Taylor County Schools
School Lunches
My mother went to school in Dodge County. She said the kids who did not
have "store-bought" lunch boxes had metal syrup buckets they used for lunch
pails like her and her siblings. They carried biscuit with ham, fat back
(mostly) or occaisionally beef, a baked sweet potato and occaisionally a
piece of cake. This was in the 1920's and early 30's though. She said
some of the kids who "had more" caried sandwiches made from sliced bread.
My Dad began to drive the bus when he was 12 and continued to do so after
he graduated until his early 20's.

School's Out!
My mother was born near Ideal, Ga. She attended school at a "Batten"
school between Oglethorpe and Ideal which was in Macon County. On the
first of April all the students played a joke on the teacher, Mrs.
Mattie Martin, by running away into the woods. After staying away quite
some time, they returned and to their surprise a note to them was
written on the blackboard. It said "I've gone home-April Fool!"
She also attended a School called Gum Springs School near Hicks Mill in the Busby
community. The teacher was a Mrs. Hobbs.

School Desks
My Dad had a classmate named Brown Parker, son of Lige Parker. One day Dad
bet Brown he couldn't get his head in the shelf under the desk. Brown did
get his head in, but they had to get help to get his head out. My Dad will
be 93 on May 16, and enjoys going back to Howard , we sit out by the
cemetery and listen to the stories he tells, about the people buried there.
