THE B-HIVE Nineteen hundred fo-rty-eight POP HOKE The students of Bridgeville High School experienced a tremendous loss with the sudden death of Mr. Hoke. Aside from being an excellent in- structor in many fields of education, he set a fine example for his numer- ous students and friends. Mr. Hoke was born in Roanoke, Louisiana, and attended grammar school there. He received his high school training in New Windsor, Mary- land, after his family moved north. Bridgewater College in Virginia was his Alma Mater where he majored in Social Studies and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree. To further his knowledge of the French lan- guage he attended the University of Pittsburgh and later Penn State, where he received his Master's Degree. After teaching several years out of state, Mr. Hoke came to Bridge- ville in 1935. Since that time he taught classes in. French, English, and Social Studies. He became assistant principal in 1942. One of Mr. Hoke's greatest interests, outside his home and family, was in' the student body. He became acquainted with each student indi- vidually and had a deep interest in him. He followed the activities in the school keenly and was always on hand to straighten out any difficulties which might occur. The deeds of service he has performed and the characters he has helped us mould stand as a living monument to his memory. Page Two
