 Claude Sallee, president of the Breathitt High Alumni Association, announced this week that annual homecoming festivities will be observed at the school on Saturday, September 3, commencing at 5:00 P. M. All past graduates and their families are expected to be present for an evening filled with good times with old friends and classmates. Featured on the program will be a melon feast, food booths, and entertainment consisting of string music, recordings, folk game-type of dancing, and other wholesome fun. To publicize the coming event, Mr. Sallee has furnished us with a photograph of the first student body and faculty of Breathitt High School (above). The school, consisting of 24 students and two faculty members, was headed by L. K. Rice, as principal, and was located at Quicksand. It was organized in 1927. Breathitt High School boasted two graduates for its first commence- ment in 1928, the year after its formation. They were Roy Bach, Aetna Oil distributor, and Wayne Davis. Officers of the Breathitt High School Alumni Association, other than president Sallee, are Flossie Johnson, vice president; and Mary Edith Brewer, secretary.  |
