I just joined this list and would like some help. I started school in 1936 in Bard. It was a 2 room school (I think), a large building and seems like we had to climb steps to get inside. Does anyone have a picture of that school? Bard is about 6 miles east of Paragould, just a small community. I talked to the family that lived on the school location in 1976. They owned the property the school was on. They had torn down the upper portion of the school and built their home on the school's foundation. They didn't have a picture of the school. I am interested in getting a picture of my first school. I went to first grade there, then in 1937 we moved to California. Also, would it be possible that someone has a picture of the Methodist church that was across the road from the school? My dad was a Methodist minister and we lived next door to the church. The house we lived in was still there in 1976 and I have a picture of that. I don't think we lived in Bard more than about 2 years; then Dad resigned and we moved to California. My dad's name was Rev. J.E. Hughes, if anyone remembers him. Thanks for any help. Emma Greer

Hello Emma, It was nice to read your email. My father went to school and lived in Bard, then later on moved into Paragould since the Dr said they needed to get my Aunt off the farm because of her allergies. My father used to tell me stories frequently about living and growing up in Arkansas, his name was Robert McClain, his mother was an Agee. If you find that picture I would love to see it.
