Frank Carter
I always enjoy James' stories because he was a classmate at HMHS and also his observations about growing up often mirror my own. For those who remember Arevalo Grammar School at New Loyston, that is where I attended. We also had a similar experience with Frank Carter. When I was in the sixth grade during the 1956-57 school year, there was a similar problem with the eighth grade boys. Frank was brought in to correct the situation. It did not take him long. He stayed (I think) until Arevalo was incorporated into Big Ridge Elementary School. I must say that he was the most interesting teacher I ever had. He knew so much about the history of Union County. Another remembrance that I have of him that his penmanship was atrocious. He told us that one of his teachers had forced him to use his off hand to write and he never went back to the dominant hand. I wish I had had the foresight to record some of his reminiscences. He and John Walters were very knowledgeable about the pre-lake era.
