\n\"Platform\"<\/a>\n

\nPrincipal Fisher said the original school was built in 1870. I knew that was at the previous location, which was somewhere around maybe River Road. I didn’t know when it was moved, which was 1940. Of course, none of the buildings that were there when I was there are still there. The only thing that’s the same is the big oak out front.\nYou can see it behind the pole and building in this picture of the crowd:\n

\nFormer Principal Mr. Reuben Jenkins spoke:\n

\nI think he was principal some of the many years my mother, Laura Quarterman, taught there.\nMr. Jenkins talks about Mr. Jefferson, who mowed the grounds on a snapper riding mower.\nThanks to his son, Robert Jefferson, for alerting me to this picnic.\n

\nFormer student Sara Crow spoke; she’s the Lowndes County Clerk of Courts and running for re-election:\n

\nThere’s more in the YouTube playlist.<\/a>\n

\nNobody seems to know what will happen to the school buildings. There’s talk of trying to sell or rent them to Moody AFB. I think the cafeteria would make a fine community center.\nWith day care facilities:\n
