Miss Bessie


     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
