ee First Graduates and Ama Tater In 1912, the newly established Jarratt High School saw its first graduating class. It consisted of only three girls: the Tyussisters, Evelyn and Mary, and Florence Jarratt, who went away to college (a female academy in Littleton, N.C.) but returned after the high school was founded. Although her name wasn't first alphabetically, it has been said that Mary Tyus was the first to be handed a diploma at Jarratt High School. On the opposite page is published greetings she has sent to this year's graduating class, the fiftieth and largest in the school's history with twenty-three members. This June, she will have been followed by 407 graduates, Below are pictures taken at the school in the days of its youth. Regrettably, a picture of the first high school building was not available. SECOND GRADUATING CLASS- 1913 LEFT TO RIGHT: Carrie Owen, Annie Mae Tyus, Eliza- beth Jarratt, and Lelia Parsons, In the foreground is Charles Owen, first male graduate of Jarratt High School. FIRST FLAGPOLE The significance of this picture is patriotically that this is an expedition of high school boys into the Jarratt family tract of land adjacent to the school to get a staff for the new school's American flag.
