Some Stuff I Wrote (2001) H. Morris Williams

diminution of the marital urge? Try Lasico for superb manhood. Five bottles for one dollar. Also

cures failing memory, sleeplessness, and kidney troubles.
WRIGLEY’S GUM ... Little Miss Muffet sits on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey; after

she’s through, she will Doublemint chew; it keeps indigestion away.
THE AGREEMENT ... Our store has an agreement with the banks. They won’t sell our

goods and we won’t cash checks or give credit.
SELF-STARTER... If you are a self-starter, the boss won’t have to be a crank.

LOST DOG... Three legs, blind in one eye, missing right ear, tail broken, recently castrated.
Answers to the name of “Lucky.”

THE CHS CLASS OF 1995 . . . These seniors will graduate with at least four historical
distinctions. They were the last class to attend school in the old high school building on West Duval

Street, then called Junior High West, a seventh grade center. That was in June 1990. Then they
became the first eighth grade class to attend the then brand new Lake City Middle School. So, then

they became the first class to “graduate” from LCMS. Then, this year, they became the first class
to use the new CHS stadium which they have named “The Jungle.” Years from now, local historians

will be asking them questions about these “lasts” and “firsts.”

THE OLDEST CCREA MEMBER... The oldest member of the Columbia County Retired

Teachers Association is Marie Schenk, who turned 101 on July 6. Bom in 1893, Marie dropped out
of school in tenth grade. She married and raised her family, then returned to high school to graduate

with her daughter, Ethel, in 1937. She then took her teacher training at Florida State College for
Women and started teaching elementary school with a two-year degree. While teaching, she
attended the University of Florida evenings and summers to earn her bachelor’s degree. Ironically,

Marie taught fourth grade in the old brown building in the very same room she herself had attended
fourth grade. Marie taught for 22 years, retiring at age 70, then the mandatory retirement age.
