Profile and Quick Facts about Ocean View Elementary School

Miss Lucy Mason Holt, principal of Ocean View Elementary School (shown here in 1952), was an unforgettable personality with a keen sense of fun. During the Depression, some of her students didn't have shoes to wear. To help them save face, their beloved principal encouraged them to attend school barefoot, offering silver dollars to those who were able to remain barefoot for the longest time into the early winter. Miss Holt died in 1961 and her funeral was held at the school.
