All who ever have gone to school a;
Warpath are invited to come back
September 30th and spend the day.
A general picnic and school fair will
be the program of the day.
This is an old historic community

after the first white people came into
Tennessee. These settlers were new
er without a school house. These
houses were located in different
places until after the war. In the
sixties a house was built on the In
dian trail and called the War pat.
A reliable class of people, such as
the Wexlers, Dicksons, Litzes. Colts.
Rollers. Shipleys and Birdwells, were
land owners in the community and
stood by the school.
At one time the George Peabody
funds were used at War Path and the
school had a number of boarding stu
dents. Since that time 1t has been
only a county school.
Students from this school hold re-
sponsible positions in many parts of
the United States. Among the pro-
