Time Machine: 1942, 2010, 1939, 1917.
August, 1942
Worcester Democrat
(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.

The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011. I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine. Just email it.
