(The above is a cut of the school building at Stockton which reveals a very attractive educational plant and one which up to the close of the 1941-42 session included a high school department; but owing to a shortage in enrollment, this will be discontinued and the pupils will be transported to Snow Hill and Pocomoke. Prof. G. Ewell Dryden was for many years principal at Stockton, but he is now enlisted in the service of his country in an effort to win this war.) Note "Clarke Photo" notation in lower left-hand corner of the picture. J. Dawson Clarke was a professional photographer during this era in addition to his association with the Marva Theater. In later years he also operated the WBOC Pocomoke radio studio on Willow Street and was Pocomoke City's longtime mayor.

Congratulations to Susan; I have known her well since she was in Mrs. Duncan's class in first grade. Her first job is to fix the City's webpage. When I clicked on the link it said, "You are not authorized to access this page."

It still says "ACCESS DENIED".
Is it true that Susan was denied access to the Mayor's Office last week?

I've updated the link and it should work okay for all now.

Footnote: According to the old newspaper reports the County Seat towns of Accomac and Eastville each wanted the monument but with a bid of $350 by the town of Parksley the Harmonson-West Camp, Confederate Veterans voted to have their monument placed there. CURRENT STATUS: A public hearing for selling the statue and property was scheduled for August 10th, 2020, but was cancelled after research by the town's attorney revealed that Parksley does not own it. In mid-August vandals defaced the monument, and other locations around town, with slogans and profanity.
