Queen of Floyd SchoolI stumbled across this picture while looking through an album full of old pictures with most of them pictures from the Floyd AR area.  Floyd was once a thriving community, so it seems, and the school had not consolidated at the time of this picture.The pretty girl in the picture says, "This is my second grade picture and when I was elected queen of Floyd School that year.  It was a fund raiser.  Each grade chose a representative from their class.  They stood us all across the stage and set fruit jars in front of us.  The one with the most money in the jar became queen.  That was me.  Mother made my dress from silk that Dad had sent from Japan when he was stationed there in World War II.  My crown was cardboard with gold-sparkled Christmas decoration."She got to stay... 10/04/2019

Where was it?This old picture was included in an old album of photographs of  folks from Floyd Arkansas.  The girl, as written on the back, was Bettye Perry and there are several pages of pictures of her.  So who was she?  The album has pictures of the school at Floyd before it was closed and lots of pictures with folks standing beside old cars.I hope I can share more pictures as I enjoy this album and if any of you sleuths can contribute something about the places and people be sure to do so. 10/02/2019
