The building was demolished in May 1972. This photo is the second grade class of 1912-13. A good many of the students' names were remembered, although the front row is unidentified. Other include, from left, second row, John Davis, Jim Barron, (-unknown), (4-unknown), Mallory Atkinson, King Smith, Roger Pate, Theron Welch, Herbert McKoy; third row, Joe Brown Myers, Hugh Hamrick, Tom Rotland, Freeman Tolbert, (other five unknown); back, (1-unknown), Jas Thoroughman, Sam Murray, Hamilton Hall, Homer McDonald, Virginia Parks, Annie Clifford Grimes Upshaw and Susan Kidd.
