Former CHS agriculture teacher and LCJHS principal, P. A. Browning, had some surprise
company drop in to visit last Wednesday: former students Ray Kirkland, Buck North, Earl

Tompkins, Mike Kennon, Jack Haltiwanger, Fred Rozelle, Glenn Jones and Stan Anders.
Here’s one story they told: One boy (maybe J. L. Markham) had skipped class and “P. A.” went

looking for him. The class lookout grabbed P. A.’s board and was going to bust J. L. when he
walked through the door, but somehow P. A. came through the door first and Buck busted the

teacher full force with his own board. Well, the classroom got pretty warm after that. P. A.
remembered the incident very well: “That happened 50 years ago and my behind still hurts every
time I think about it.”
