Seadogs historian Lucille Mades has donated a collection of Beaufort Graded
School (later becoming Beaufort High School in 1947) class scrapbooks to the
Carteret County Public Library in Beaufort. |

The scrapbooks span the history of the school from 1927-1965. These records,
so lovingly compiled by Ms. Mades and her granddaughter Belinda, are the
result of years of dedication to preserving the history of the school.
Included among these records are class rosters, class pictures, newspaper
clippings and more.
Ms. Mades has also put together a brief chronology of the school’s history,
with mention of notable events and students, such as Coach McQuaid’s famed
91 game winning streak, the impact of the Second World War on the school,
and the fire of 1945. This chronology also serves as an index to the class
scrapbooks. |

Allowing the public library to store and preserve these records will ensure
that the public at large can appreciate the history of a once important
institution in their community. This collection will be stored in the
reference department’s locked cases for patrons to use on site. |
