School News

Because our school, was closed
on Thursday and Friday of last
week so that our teachers might
attend the 38th Annual Convention
of the Delaware State Education
Association in Wilmington, we
have few school items to report;
but we do have something which
may interest our parents, our
grandparents, and our great-grand-
parents.
History of Greenwood School:
With the coming of the Penn
sylvania Railroad through this Sec
ton of Western Sussex in 1856,
the village that had started a mile
cast of ST. Johnstown, probably
so or rs years before, shifted west
ward toward the railroad and here
Greenwood, as we know it, had its
beginning.
Shortly after the railroad was
/ in operation, a few houses and
stores were constructed on each
side of the railroad; and the first
Greenwood School came into being
on the west side of what is now
North Beaver Street, near the home
of the late William /. Conaway.
This school was a building of one
room. 1t is said that as many as 80
children attended school in this
one inadequate building. 1t has
been difficult to learn with GER
tainty the names of sll the teach
ers of the school, but re have been
| given the names of two; namely:
Mr.. Charles Adams and Mr.. Caleb
Sipple. Mr. Sipple was the uncle of
J. Frank Porter, who recently cele-
brated his 93rd birthday.
In 1887, a frame building of two
rooms was constructed west of the
railroad at what is now the corner
of North and Minor Streets (now
the. location of the Floyd Wiley
home), west of the Greenwood Gar
ment factory. Sometime thereafter,
another room was added to the
east end and later a room was
added to the north. The Maryland
Delaware, and Virginia Railroad,
running between Love Point and
Lewes, passed just few yards
north of the building. There were
almost as many distracting noises
for the children then as there are
now for us along Route 10; for
those were busy days for freight
and passenger trains and they
passed the school frequently
seeming almost to shake it from
its foundations. There was prac-
tically no playground room-only
a small vacant lot across the street
where the larger boys played base
ball in fear and trembling that the
ball might go through neighbor'
] window.
A Among those who served as
H Principal of this school are the fol
lowing, though we do not know the
/ chronological order of the first
4 three: DR.. Hoey; Mr.. Noble; Mr.
Sam Atherton; Mrs. Sammons; Mr.
Bob Cahall; Mr. Collins, who die
not complete the year; Mr.. Charles
Jones. half brother of the first Mrs
C. F. Warrington; Mr.. Leon Davis
Mr.. Keller: Mr.. John w. Gibson
Mr. E. J. Hardesty (ater SUSSEX
4 County Supt of Schools); Mr.
Howard Williams, and Mr.. Earle
D. Wiley, an alumnus of the school
who later became Secretary of the
State of Delaware and, much later
Representative in Congress.

State OAR Group
Met Here Saturday
tCoDti1ued from page one)


Mrs. David r. Eastburn rf New
ark, Librarian, made a report on
necessary books and it was voted
to have her purchase them and pay
the bill from the General Fund.
Two new appointments as State
Chairmen were announced by Mrs.
Seimes:
Mrs. /. Fremont Loeffells of New
ark, a member of Cooch's Bridge
Chapter, who will serve as area
chairman for New Castle County
assisting Mrs. Charles P. Witsil,
Jr., on the Good Citizen Commit
tee.
Mrs. James II. Scott, of Will

Helen Scott, both of Wilmington.
Since Delaware is the First State
of the Union, and usually accord
ing first place in past Inaugural
Parades in Washington, but did not
receive this recognition on one oc-
casion, the State Society went on
record as desiring this; it was
recommended that the Delaware
group would send letters request
ing that this be done, in the next
parade in Washington.
The OAR State Conference to
be held in February was discussed
at this meeting, and it was the con-
sensus of opinion that a full days
meeting be scheduled omitting the
evening banquet and program at
that time.

fore he can be back with us.
CORRECTION
wish to express my apprecia-
ton to the one who wrote the ar
ticle in the October 10 issue of
the Milford Chronicle. l agree
with them in one sense of the
word, because it is my duty TO
my class to work for the best book
ever. have full faith in my staff,
because they have the ambition
and intelligence to produce one
of the best books ever. Bat the in
formation put in the October rs
issue, may have left the wrong i'm
preston. I was not quoted cor
rectly, in fact. undoubtedly due to
an oversight, I was not even con-
suited I certainly would not want
to cast any reflections on the fine
yearbooks produced in the past
under the direction and supervision
of Mr.. Herbert Fox.

Bessie Ellen, Lessie Elizabeth,
Addie Mae, and Lilly Jane Tart

since a younger brother married
and moved away 13 years ago. The
women use mules and tractor for
planting, plowing and harvesting
tobacco, cotton and corn. They
built concrete block garage them
selves to house their car.
The Tart sisters admit they some
times call on male help in the sum-

All But One County
To Have Machines
For May Primary

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 20 P.-
With one possible exception. all
Maryland counties will have the
voting machines they are re-
quired to obtain by the Novem-
Der general election in operation
for the May 7 primary.
Assistant Attorney General
David Kaufman said the ex-
ception may be Garrett County.
Garrett officials haven't decided
yet what type of machine they
will use. he said.
Mr.. Kaufman made, these
facts known yesterday during a
refresher course here for county
election officials. Only about IS
representatives of the county
Election Boards were able to
attend. Attendance was hurt by
road conditions caused by the
snow storm.
Technical problems encoun-
tered in changing from paper
ballots to voting machines was
the principal item of discussion.
Also discussed was a change
in the absentee voting law. made
last month by the General As
sembly. 1t permits Maryland
civilians as we'll as servicemen
to vote by mail when they are
away from home on election day.

Eric Rhodes, executive secre.
tary of the Montgomery County

ton has appointed a committee
to study such a policy for pos
sible adoption for the 1875

Mr.. Rhodes. who has informed
the school board of the MEGA
action, said the move was given
impetus by the fact that School
lSupt. Forbes H. Norris has re-
quested $4,000 in this years
operating budget to compensate
teachers for coaching athletic
teams.
He said he felt such a policy
might be extended to play
directors, band instructors, news

government counsels. He esti-
mated that it would cost about
