SCHLEY SLANTS
by Raymond Duncan

Two girl graduates of Schley county high school completed
their careers with perfect attendance records and a boy was
absent only one day during 11 years.  A story revealing
Clara Bivens' achievement of the record was published in
last week's Sun, and it was learned Monday that Sara Hill,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J(im) H(enry) Hill of Stewart's
Mill community also had earned the same distinction.  Sara
attended grammar school at Three Points school near
Stewart's Mill and her attendance record was not available
to authorities of the local school.  And as she failed to
report her mark to Supt. E.M. Palmer, proper recognition was
delayed several days.  Quinton Greene missed only one day.
He was absent once while in the first grade.

NOTES: This is the  Duncan Three Points School.It was
located near the Charing Community between Buena Vista and
Butler. It had ten grades. 

Sara(h) Hill lived between what we refer to as Smith's Level
and Conner Mill Road. Her sister, Imogene, was Margaret's
age. They attended Concord School. The sisters never married
and lived the last years of their life in the J.O. Smith
house on the west side of N.Broad (19). 

Stewart's Mill Community was in the northernmost part of
Schley Co. There was a black school at Horry Level (in the
area of Smith's Level).  Horry Level was the first county
seat of Marion Co. Later the county seat was moved to
Tazewell and after that to Buena Vista.
