| Sunny Hill School 1924

This is a picture of Sunny Hill School taken in 1924. It was located on the Okey Chapman farm along the Big Pigeon Road in Roane County near Amma. The photograph shows the students of the Sunny Hill School and other children who came to participate in the activities leading up to the annual community dinner.
The flags were provided by my father, Floyd Gibson who also arranged the parade maneuvers that were a part of the activities. Being a patriotic occasion, the large flag held by Mr. Gibson was the focal point of all the maneuvers. Regardless of how complex the maneuver, everyone had to be facing the flag at the end.
Teachers during this time period were Hugh Caldwell, Ina Phillips, Ora Engle, Irene Carper, and Maxine Carper. I especially remember Irene and how she encouraged a student to perform well by awarding premiums. The premiums were nothing more than pieces of paper she had made up but when we had accumulated five of these we could turn them in for a new pencil or a "Big Chief" tablet.
Later a new school was built across the road on the McCune farm but the community dinner was still held on the Chapman property in a large pine grove. The "new" Sunny Hill school was torn down many years ago.

Beech Hill School was located on Little Left Hand road about 3/4 mile from the mouth of Little Left Hand Creek at Amma. It was a one room school with beautiful glass doors covering the built in library book shelves. The well house and pump provided good, cold water. Most all of the structure has now fallen down.
