As Burnley Cook tickles the ivories with his version of “Great Balls of Fire,” Jerry Hawthorne and Corinne Randazzo take a spin on the dance floor during the barbecue. After a good dinner cooked by Allen Brown and his crew, alumni and friends were treated to a tour of the school and then the sock hop in the old school library, the same room Randazzo worked in as school librarian.

Ben Hillyer/The Natchez Democrat — The dance floor was filled Saturday night in the old Margaret Martin School library as part of the Margaret Martin Back-to-School Barbecue. The fundraiser at the old high school included an old fashioned sock hop, meal and a tour of the building.
