In the wall of the lobby of the
Jarrettsville Elementary School are four white bricks surrounding the showcase
outside the main office. Each brick is engraved with a single year, beginning
with 1930, 1931, 1932, to 1933.
According to Bert Wiley, the bricks
were remembrances from the graduating classes of those years. J. C. Taylor
(tombstone business) provided the white brick and did the engraving.
Fred Fuller, agriculture teacher,
took out the red bricks of the outside wall and replaced them with the white
ones.
The graduating classes took up a
collection to pay for the brick and the engraving.
The bricks were originally located
on the front of the old school. When the new building was built in 1977, Fred
Baker, then principal, had the bricks removed from the condemned building and
placed in the brick wall of main lobby of the new school.
