In 1924, Oak City High School published a “Catalog” for the upcoming school year. The catalog listed the calendar, faculty, disciplinary statement, a history of the school, library information, course of study, basketball team members, etc. Thanks to Michael Taylor for sharing this.

The Rosenwald Schools were built by philantropist Julius Rosenwald by being inspired by Booker T. Washington. African-Americans raised money and contributed the labor while Mr. Rosenwald helped with additional finance. Martin County has two Rosenwald Schools, Hamilton and E. J. Hayes.

Under the leadership of Ms. Elizabeth Roberson and Ms. Minnie Hoggard, the students of Williamston Junior High, Robersonville Junior High Schools, E. J. Hayes and Bear Grass Junior High School produced some excellent historical documents.
