The following is the dedication from the 1954 yearbook to Miss
Bessie Lloyd who owned a grocery store on the corner across the street from
Darlington. Alumni from those years remember she and her store fondly. We post this
picture and dedication from the yearbook in response to thier happy reminiscences when
they visit the campus.
To A Friend
Endeared to all who know her,
and, once known, never forgotten...
Ever sympathetic---ever understanding...
Possessed of a rare sense of humor...
Endowed with patience...
Symbolizing the heart and center
of Darlington memories
So modest, unassuming, and forgetful of
self as to inspire the devotion and
loyalty of thousands of Darlington men
To
Miss Bessie Lloyd
We affectionately dedicate this book
