[For an enlarged view, just click on a picture. I have Sharon (Bullock) Rush to thank for these three pictures. Those of the elementary class and the 4-H Club Nere previously provided by the late Elnora (Bullock) Graves for publication in the DeWitt Era Enterprise. DPW]
[These three pictures appear to have been taken on the same day or at the same setting. My brother Bill (pictured above) confirms my sense that they could not have been taken in 1942, as noted by the DeWitt Era Enterprise, but at least as early as 1940 or the spring of 1941, because we both recall living in DeWitt and attending schools there on Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1941.

Thank you so much for these photos, my dad is Leroy Knight. He passed away in 1997. He spoke fondly of growing up in Crocketts Bluff. Sincerely, Roy Knight.
