Hickory Tavern-Poplar Springs
Area
The Hickory Tavern area is so
closely related to, and dependent
upon, the southwestern section of
the county which borders on
Greenwood county that the en
tire area will be discussed simul
taneously. ,This border area in
cluded such schools as Brewerton,
Mt. Gallagher. Poplar Springs and
Mt. Olive, or brevity's sake this
section will be referred to as the
Poplar Springs area.
Hickory Tavern is an excellent
community and takes pride in its
schools and all of its activities.
However, this is another case
where the school enrollment has
increased but little in the past ten
years. A look at Table 15 reveals
that there were 341 enrolled in
1941-42 and only 359 in 1950-51.
The spot map showing pre-school
children also bears oat the fact
that the potential growth for the
next few years is not too great.
The present two-story building
which is xised for both school and
residential purposes has—about
served its usefulness It is unsafe
and totally inadequate* for educa
tional purposes. The newer one-
story structure, with some repairs
ahdT renovations','“can easily house
the elementary enrollment for
some time to -come.
The high school at Hickory Tav-
be to require all pupils in the en
tire area to attend high school at
Hickory Tavern. This, it seems, |
impractical to accomplish < ^"n Committees Appointed
though it might be desirable. Cus
tom and tradition are often strong

have occurred in this state where

There are approximately
elementary school children in this
“border area” now attending six
or seven different schols. The
area is compact and served by a!
good highway system. Land has
been purchased on which to build
an elementary school. It is indi-,
cated on the elementary spot map

In a letter accompanying copies
of the proposals, General Manager
John C. Floyd, said, “we believe
the nine-point platform here pre
sented will appeal to all conven
tion delegates who stand for the
improvement of our American so
ciety of free men. The antithesis
of these nine points would be the
further concentration of economi-
ic and political power in Washing-
tion, the domination of the ederal
bureaucracy over representative
rule, and the gradual strangula
tion of local self-government and
the free market system.”
