July 26, 2017 - I thought of the author of a three volume publication of the Education in Shelby County, Texas – Dew Drops on the Pine Needles - at the close of the C.H. Daniels School Reunion held on the 4th of July weekend this year in Center, TX at the Windham Center Civic Center.
This was the event held every two years for the alumni and friends of the Daniels High School which had its last graduating class and last junior class in 1968 before integration in 1969.
In an effort to Keep the Legacy Alive in the memory of those who attended the school as well as their descendants, the reunion occurs. Dr. Charles Edward Tatum is that author. He did a fantastic job of research and capturing pictures and memories of others to make this a successful product. A lot of history is in print of these volumes. Though copyright in 2007 it is still on high demand. In 2018 the 50th anniversary of the school closing will occur and plans are being made to have a recognition of the fact. The committee encourage all who attended the school from 1st grade through 12th and their descendants to participate.
Dates and venue are being determined and will be publicized soon. Watch for fundraisers throughout the year to support this effort. Any suggestions and comments are welcome and can be submitted to the post office box (P. O. Box 1496, Center, TX 75935)
