The lunchroom was built in 1948. The gym was built in 1949. The agriculture building was once the teacherage. The lunchroom was added in 1948. In 1949 the gym was started. Although county funds were not sufficient for completing it, the people of the community raised the money for the completion. In 1947 Mr. Bill Bryson became principal and served three years being followed by Mr. Preston Hollowell for a three - year period. Mr. Harry Beard, who was principal for two years, came in 1955. Mr. David G. Green came in 1957 and was principal for the next three years. This brings the school history up to the present. Mr. Eugene Morris comes to us from Pitt County to serve as principal. A history of Nahunta School would not be complete without Mr. Milfred Aycock. At a meeting of the Nahunta Community Club in November of 1953, Mr. Aycock was presented a gold pocket watch. This watch, given by the people of the community, was inscribed on the back, To Milfred Aycock - - for services to the Nahunta Community - - 1910 - - 1953. Mr. Milfred served on the Na- hunta School Board for 40 years. For 37 years he was chairman. He retired from the Wayne County Board of Elections as secretary, after 30 years of service. Without a doubt, this is the last year of a high school at Na- hunta. The consolidation plan for the northern part of Wayne County includes Nahunta. Our school has always been the center of community progress. From the first graduating class in 1923 to the last in 1961, the com- munity has worked together to move forward. The fact that a great per- cent of graduates have settled in the community, some after higher education, and some immediately after high school, is an indication of the community spirit and de- votion. RETIRES FROM SCHOOL BOARD — Milford Aycock, center, has retired from the Board of the 1 hunta school after serving for 37 years. He was honored at a community meeting held at the school 1 night.
