SOUTHSIDE WILL SHINE TONIGHT

MANY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL  MEMORIES ---SEE SONG ABOVE.

This was the "official" school song at Southside Elementary school in El Dorado, Arkansas for many years.  I attended Southside from 1934 to 1939.  We all sang this song and STAR SPANGLED BANNER at every assembly and PTA meeting.  

The faculty members were:  Grade 1 - Miss Roarke,  Grade 2 - Mrs. Mouton, Grade 3 - Mrs. O'Laughton, Grade 4 - Mrs. Bishop, Grade 5 - Mrs. Emma Joe Colvin, Grade 6 - Mrs. Eula Goode Goodwin, and Grades 7 -8 - Mr. Alva Waddell (he was also the football coach and music teacher), and the Principal was Miss Nola Ellis.

Some of my classmates were:  Dale Gray, Raymond and Ferris Bullock, my brother Wren Worley, Veldon Mc Knight, Nolan "brick-head" Harris, Teedy Lowery, Willard Forsythe, Graham Ellis, and W. B. Justiss.
