four SCHOOL HISTORY Poca District High School as it was formerly called began classes in September, 1923. The small white schoolhouse was located on a hillside between Bancroft and Black Betsy. The first graduating class consisted of eleven members. , The school emblem is an Indian riding upon a white horse. The em- blem was chosen because of the Indian Pocatalico, Who was killed at the mouth of Poca River. The high school which We now attend was built during the year of 1926. The school paper which was then known as The School Echo was first published in January, 1924. Three years later the first annual Poca- talico was published. The largest class to be graduated from Poca High School, was the class of 1948 with 62 members. Along with the graduates of 1950 there has been a total of 871 students graduated from Poca High School. Poca has also left its mark in the history of athletics. The football team of 1930 was undefeated. During the last twenty years there has been many strong and powerful teams, but none to reach this record. The basketball team won a golden cup during the season of 1940 for the run- ner up in the regional tournament. We must not forget dramatics while thinking of the past and present. There has been many smash-hit productions of plays, operettas and skits put upon the stage of Poca High School. 4 We will always remember the good times we have had while partici- pating in activities of this school.
