Fairview School Abt. 1922-1923
The attachment is a school photo of the students taken in either 1922/3. I wish I could identify more of the people but unfortunately I can't. I know the teacher's names; the short lady in front of the doors is Lois Scott and the Bow-Tied gentleman next to her is Henley Webb. My Dad; George W. Hooks, is second from the right end in the first row. The little girl next to him with the big Bow in her hair is his sister; Noreen Hooks Graham Spencer. The first little girl in the second with the big Bow is their sister; Ruby Hooks Graham. My Aunt Ruby will be 85 next month and still sharp as a tack. I'll test her memory in May when I make my annual TN/KY pilgrimage to see if she can identify some more of the people in the photo. I'm pretty sure there are some Fitzhughs, but I can't identify them. Max Hooks, wmhooks@worldnet.att.net
