I'm interested in the old schools of Switzerland County, and would enjoy hearing from anyone who attended one, or has information about them. My parents, Herschel Gullion and Irene Dickerson, are in some of the following pictures. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows any of the other students in the pictures.

East Enterprise School

Teacher, Miss Susie Arm
Irene Dickerson

This school was located on Highway 56 at where the old service station now stands. I attended this school in the late forties. You will note that apparently some work had been done on the school between the pictures. Some have wooden shutters and one doesn't. The teachers were well know. Mr. Woodson Porter and Miss Susie Orem. I may not be right on the spelling of Miss Susie.
