FastSaying

I graduated with my ninth grade class (Langdale School) in the spring of 1941. Our graduation exercises were held in the Langdale Theater. After that, we gathered at the gym. It was pretty simple. It was a fun time. But it was a sorrowful time because we realized we would never be students at LaFayette Lanier School again.
