I'm indebted to Carol Keithley Baird who forwarded to me a box of historical papers gathered from her mother Hallie Keithley's collection that included two School Registers from the Crockett's Bluff School from the 1936-37 and 1938-39 school years. Folded into one of the registers was a clipping from DeWitt Era Enterprise (undated) with this image of the school's bus:
"MODEL T SCHOOL BUS -- This picture was taken in the 1920's gives a good description of the transportation at Crockett's Bluff for school age children during the 1920's. The driver is Mrs. Mary Dallas Turner who now live(s) in the Wynne and Fair Oak area. Note the curtains on the bus which were rolled up in the summer and down in the colder months of the year. Duke Graves of Crocketts Bluff, who brought the picture by the Era-Enterprise office said that he remembered when he and his wife, Lillian, rode the bus in 1927."
