A merry Christmas and a happy ??w year to HkScfc*^ wn.i opop again on Janu uy 4th, mi Anderson ( Prior ,lo 1883, the writer can not get exact dates as to the founding of White Plains school, but it was prob ably founded shortly after the War between the States. In 1883 J. It. Guyto.a ?aught the White Plains school. The house stood on the left side of the public road leading from Pendieton Pelzen, almost in front of where White Plains church now stands. \ This school house was a ono room log house about 18 feet wide by 20 foot long. It was built of idnc logs hewn out of the old held near the school bouse. The roof was of oak board spilt from Joab Ciardy's place near , the Hurricuno creek. The scats were made of pine slabs "Vith two, holes bored in each end of the slab, and sweet gum pegs drove in the holes for legs. This little house was about seven feet high, and had two doors, one on each side of the house. The chimney was of stick and clay, end in the winter when the fire was burn ing in the fire place the teacher and most of the large boys wore kept busy carrying water from the spring attd pouring on the chimney to keep It from burning up. One small', window was tho only means of light, except through the cracks botwecn the logs. The win dow was in the back of the house, it was two logs sawed out about 18 Inches wide by two feet long; and the shutter was ono piece of plank just to fit the opening in the wall. On windy days the window had to be closed to keep the ftre from burning up the chimney. When this was done, the only means of light was that which came in between the cracks of the logs and the rough boards of the floor. The enrollment of- this school was about '-10. Tho school derived its name from the white -sandy country in which the school was located. Some of the other teachers of thiB school were: Dr. N. C. Richardson, F?ev. Jesse Vermlllion, Rev. Patrick Vermillton, William Cason. From this plate* the school house was moved to a Cross roads about one mile west, where the present school house now is. A. frame building was erected lo 1880?16 feet wide by 32 feet long. It had three windows on each side and one, door in front.- The blackboard extended across the back of the school house. The seats were made of a plank 12 inches wide and extending from one end of the room to the oth er. It was nailed along the side of the wall about 18 inches from the floor. This just made two-long benches in the school house. The stove was in the back of the room. The room was ceiled with dressed ceiling. Rev. D. 1. Spearman -was the first to teach in this school In the year of 1839. At this time this .school house was a mod. era school building. In 1890 J. B. Spearman taught the school. . : In 1891* J. B. Harris taught Uit school, assisted by J. B. Spearman. The enrollment at this .time was 106. . In 1892 the'school was again taught by J. B. Spearman. In 1893 Rev. P. J. Vermlllion taught the school assisted by his wife, Mrs. Zoa Wei born Vermlllion. -In 1896 another room was annexed to this building, making n-two room building. This' room was placed at the hack of the other room. It was about the same size of the other. At this, time every patron was asked..to make a slatted bench to nut in this school-house, .i -\ < Somt oi the oilier teachers of.this school wore. Miss Jennie Shirley, John Majors, -Robert". Gentry, Dr. Wil lie. Strickland. V*. Burns .and sister, 1 This school. boAse soon became too small for the sehtol. so there had to bo another school house built alto gether new. It Is the present school house;'; with the exception of the two back, rooms which were built later. : This, time a largo two room house, with Innen room attached, was erect ed about 1906. ' Each room hud a stove in the middle of tho room and had plenty of light for the pupils to'study by. Miss Bessie Miller, assisted by Mist? %ii nnle Simpson were the f?rst to leach in. this new school building. It was In the years of 1906 and 1907. Miss Bcssio Miller, assisted by Miss Minnie Webb, taught in 1907 and 1008. At.this tinte tho school < grew too large tor two teachers so there had to be another room added, which was put at the back of these other rooms, and another teacher was employed.

In 1910 and 1911 the school was taught by It. E. L. Smith, assisted by Misses Alma Garrctt and Mamie Hog ers. In 1911 and 1912 the school was taught by Misses Alma Garrett and Mae Wigington.
