A Step Back in Time
EHS Senior Trip - 1963 By Shirley Perrell Crick
Our class, like those classes who had gone before us, sold magazines our Junior and Senior years. Our Senior year we worked the concession stands during the basketball games which added to our "Washington Senior Trip".
In our particular class we had $7.00 per day on which to eat. Enough to pay for everyone’s week stay from and back to Eagleville. Our transportation was a chartered a Greyhound Bus. We squeezed Lincoln’s head off each penny making the money stretch for the "Senior Trip".
Our chaperons had made the trip so many times that they knew exactly where to go and what would be the best time to arrive at each destination.
We had a curfew of midnight. The girl(s) could not go out unless we had one of the boys with us.
One from our Class of 1963 came back and became principal of Eagleville School. Buddy Pate served as Principal from 1995 - 2004.
On a personal note, I had never been any further than Nashville. It was so exciting to save and work hard to make the money for our "Senior Trip". It is something I will never forget. Since 1963 I have visited Washington and seen most of the places that we saw in 1963. But for a farm girl it was a really big deal to make that first trip. Our class was small and we were like family. I am truly grateful for the experience.
We went in separate directions after returning from our trip. We use to get together every five years for a class reunion. We have missed a few but those special classmates will always have a special place in my heart.
