Pate has given us an opportunity this year to look back upon an honorable eighty year legacy, as this year makes the school at Jarratt four-fifths of a century old and gives the Seniors the distinction of being the fiftieth graduating class, Disregarding the school's anniversaries would be a tremendous over- sight, so we are presenting some of the highlights in our school's annals. Housedtoday in a modem brick building, with a central heating plant, electricity and running water, we can look back on the customs and incon- veniences of our parent'sand grandparent's school days with interest. Their school was the usual one-room building with a pot-bellied stove, kerosene lamps and well water, drunk by all from a common dipper. Kid wagons drawn by horses or mules provided a means of transportation until the day of cars. Model T Ford trucks with canvas covers were used until our day of all steel buses. But whatever the mode of transportation, the choice of studies or the structure of the building, a tradition of deep loyalty so necessary for any school to excel and an unforgettable closeness among stu- dents and teachers so dear to the hearts of everyone have always been prevalent. For generations of Jarrattites, it was more than aninstitution; it became a way of life.
