Memories of WHS and Earlier by Harmon Moody
__________________________________________
Here are a few things I remember that happened and we still made it thru. One morning the attendance girl came to Miss Blanton's home room and Dudley Parker gave out a wolf whistle. Miss Blanton didn't see who did it but said "I hope whoever did that in the next few minutes grows up. " That ended wolf whistling in the classroom.
Next is the Cherry Bomb incidence. While going to Coach Buck's class one morning, I saw boys clearing out of the restroom. As I passed by, a loud bang came out of the room. I was asked to go to the Dean of Boys' (Jimmy Godwin) Office. He asked me if I did it and I answered no. Then he asked me if TM (I'm still trying to protect his identity) did it. I told him I didn't believe he would do such a thing. I was released back to the class room.
The only thing I got a paddling for was lifting a lunch room table and setting it back down on a stack of drinking glasses. It was such a minor thing I still don't believe the punishment fit the crime.
I do thank Mrs. Quillon Robertson for teaching me to type and Mr. Gharst for putting up with me in the band. As a side note, it was Mrs O'Rear that taught this lefty the proper way to write. I see a lot of lefties that should have had someone like her. Thanks to all of them.
I remember tackling Darrell Page in the back field. Williams Height played Crawford Street for the city championship. We had Jimmy Flanders as quarterback, Harry Bennett was fullback, Bryant Clark was a halfback, Ronny Patten was right end and I was left end. Bit Tanner was our coach and a fellow name Lopez was assistant. Williams Height won the game. My doctors have told me at 70 I should be back to normal from the jolt I took from that tackle. I paid the price for bragging rights. I would do it again for the team. Can't remember any of the other players, maybe after I get 70 it will come back to me.
ANOTHER MEMORY CAPSULE FROM HARMON:
Life started in the Fifth Grade
It was when I got to the fifth grade that things stared to change. Mrs. Inez Tanner, our teacher,tried to teach the class to dance. We boys realized that there was a difference in our other classmates, but we went along with it anyway. Things were never the same. Playing football for Williams Heights was fun and hard work. Mr. Bit Tanner (Inez's husband) was our coach. A fellow named Lopez was the assistant coach. In the seventh grade we won the city championship beating Crawford Street. Entering high school was a shock. I did not know there were so many dancing partners in Waycross. Mrs. Sarah Young was our eight grade teacher. Little did I know that name (Sarah) would be in my life. Miss Bessie Maynor's legacy was that no one went through W.H.S. without going through her class. I almost made it, but my teacher got sick and they dumped us in, yes, her class. Coach Buck taught me to do it right or do it over again. I thank him for that, he was tough. Miss Carol (Blanton) Aldridge) was my homeroom and bookingkeeping teacher. I really didn't think that she would make it. After the wolf whistle incidence, I changed my mind. The incidence is in my bio. with Dudley Parker as the main character. Mr Tolman Gharst taught me music. This has been a lasting skill that has followed me til today. He spent a lot of time with us developing the band program. How my parents stood all the home practicing hours is beyond me. We made it through high school and some went to college. Some got married and had kids. Looking back I think I would do it again
