Dinner Honoring
Retiree
It appears that the old school
bell at Chinquapin school rang
again Sunday, May 30, 1971 at
the Holiday Inn In Elizabeth
City, N.C. with a dinner
honoring Miss Nellie Holley.
About fifty students who
received their early education
from Chinquapin School
returned from numerous living
areas though-out the nation to
identify with the occassion and
program.
The purpose was primarily
two fold. First, there was the
immense desire of former
Chinquapin students and their
families to honor a person who
had so much to do with their
early educational develop
ments. Secondly, the occassion
highlighted the approaching
retirement of Miss Nellie Holley
from the Perquimans County
School System after nearly forty
years of superior and dedicated
service. :
The program began with a
grace by Mrs. Hattie
Wllllamston of Brooklyn. New
York. Then after dinner
eliminating activities included
a marvelous vocal rendition of
the Lords Prayer by Mrs. Sybil
Parker Page of New York City. A
lovely bouquet of long stem
roses bias presented by Little
Miss Granette Trent and Master
Robbie Sharpe. Cards and
telegrams were delivered by
Mrs. Dorthy Arrlngton of
Brooklyn New York. The main
address was delivered by Mrs.
Alice Butler of Washington, D.C.
A gold braclet was presented
from the group by Mrs. Hattie
