Heads up, please WBOC-
MISLEADING:
WBOC'S webpage was displaying a weather item from Friday, January 23rd as its top "Trending Now" news on January 28th.
The five-day old item was in reference to this past weekend's weather, not this coming weekend. (This weekend's forecast mentions the possibility of snow.)

Time Machine: 100 years ago in Pocomoke's newspaper; early 1900's Pocomoke High School, 2001.
Democratic Messenger 1969 Centennial Edition
(A-I says:)
The wooden version of Pocomoke High School on Walnut Street was still in use for third and fourth grades when I was a lad, probably about 1957 to maybe 1959. First and second grades were housed in the "new" brick building, third and fourth grades in the old wooden structure and some classes (not sure which grades) held in the Masonic Hall on Walnut Street.
I remember the cornerstone for the "new" high school was laid in 1957 and eventually held seventh grades through twelfth while the "old" high school on Market Street would eventually hold third through sixth grades. This went a long way to ease overcrowding, at least until the fire and destruction of the "old" high school on Market Street.
Your friend,

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
(Sturgis One Room School Museum, Pocomoke City)
Did you know Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a commencement speech in Princess Anne at Maryland State College (which is now UMES) on May 24, 1959?
There were 53 graduates but over 1000 attendees!
REMEMBERING Martin Luther King Jr. on his birthday
(Jan. 15, 1929 — Apr. 4, 1968)
Today we remember Martin Luther King Jr. — a visionary leader whose courage, faith, and unwavering commitment to justice changed the course of history.
Through his words and actions, he inspired millions to stand for equality, dignity, and peace, reminding the world that love and nonviolence are powerful forces for change.
Beyond his leadership, Dr. King’s legacy lives on as a moral compass for generations, calling us to continue the work of building a more just and compassionate world.
