Wow thanks for down the memory lane of your days in the 6th grade, though am still wondering why you decided to go to schoo bare footed, but I think it really isn't idea for the principal Mr. Hinson Griner to instill you get a shoe for just a day, and I must confess I admire your courage in standing up to him and stating your displesure to the General Superintendent (what ever it's you said I guess it work cause the principal got serve his token before you return back to school.
The school looks good and kind of modern for a 40s structures.
Thanks for sharing, have a blessed day.
The "new" elementary school, where I went from grades 1-3 has already been demolished, not sure what is going back in that spot. Lots of memories there. That building was built in the early 60's.
I've read that the older 2 story building pictured, has been slated for the wrecking ball, but there are a lot of folks that do NOT want that to happen, although, the building is so old it would take a lot of funds to rehab it for any other purpose.
BUT, it has an auditorium, stage and balcony. That would make it still the only such facility in the entire county as far as I know.
If I had the funds, I'd try to buy it and rehab it just for Thee-e-tah ha ha(Theater) productions
