Bruce School 1956 Yearbook (Dyersburg, TN) - Guest Access

DEDICATION The editor and staff whole-heartedly dedicate this, our first yearbook, "The Brucite," to the late Prof. Marshall Lee Morrison, Sr. , a former prin– cipal. His educatiooal practices aided in the development of this, the first "A" grade school for Negroes in the state of Tennessee. His love of youth and hiJ devotion to duty were an inspiration to all those who desired to take even one small step toward the accomplishment of a challenging purpose. His spiritual guidance stimulated individuals to a greater appreciation of moral and ethical values. His influence has been felt down through the years by all those who have passed through these portals. His spirit lives on, and will continue to perpetuate those ideals of purposeful living and achievement. He was one of us: he was one with us: he was one for us.
