Honoring the “Super Seniors” of Springdale High School

The Class of 2022 was in for a surprise when they celebrated their graduation at the Springdale School District. In addition to honoring the recent graduates, the event paid respect to four exceptional veterans who, had they not decided to serve in the military, would have graduated in 1956. Known by their endearing nickname, “super seniors,” Carl Stults, Bobby Burke, Charles Leroy Moon, and Bob Self were among the veterans who received honorary diplomas with the graduating seniors.

These four young guys were all seniors in high school in 1956, yet none of them graduated from Springdale High School. Carl Self revealed, “Springdale didn’t recognize the GED at the time, but I took a test when I joined the Air Force. I eventually graduated from Little Rock Central with a diploma. It wasn’t until they got together for lunch one day that the school district learned about their missing diplomas.

The Class of 2022 was delighted to learn that these “super seniors” will be participating in the graduation ceremony. It was a lesson in sacrifice and honor as much as a celebration of their accomplishment. Jared Cleveland, the superintendent of Springdale, delivered sentimental letters honoring the heroes’ bravery and devotion from U.S. Representative Steve Womack and Governor Asa Hutchinson during the ceremony.

They served both during and after the Korean War, according to Womack. They weren’t thinking about themselves or asking themselves, “What about me?” at the time. They performed their duty. Isn’t that the authentic essence of America? The instructors paused to recognize the outstanding accomplishments that each veteran has made since enlisting in the Air Force in 1956.

These four extraordinary guys finally earned their long-awaited diplomas from their alma mater, after 66 years. It was a just reward for all of their hard work. “Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog,” as the saying goes.

Greetings on your honorary diplomas, Bob Self, Charles Leroy Moon, Bobby Burke, and Carl Stults! Their devoted dedication to our nation is incredibly admirable. We are fortunate to live in the wonderful country we do today because of courageous people like them. By sharing this story and expressing our gratitude, let’s honor these men for their incredible achievements and selflessness.

This 96-year-old lady’s home looks normal from the outside but the inside will blow you away

For some people, moving from home to home isn’t a big deal, but for those who have spend their lifetime at the same place this change might be one of the hardest they’ve ever experienced.

One 96-year-old woman decided to sell her property which was built some 72 years ago. The place looks like any other house from the outside, but the interior is out of this world. She had picked every single piece by herself and took great care of each piece of furniture over the years.

If you take a look inside, you will feel like you are back to the seventies. Everything is bright, luxurious, and filled with vintage items. On top of that, the place is perfectly clean and shiny, which is a sign that this elderly woman treasured her possessions dearly.

While some believe it’s old-fashioned, others say it rouses some old, country feeling and brings nostalgia.

Take a look at the spacious home below.

This place makes you feel like a royalty.

In the basement, there is an amazing country-style bar and a lounge room, a perfect spot after a long day of work.

It’s safe to say that pink is this lady’s favorite color.

All those pinkish details give us a feeling as though this place is from a fairytale.
