Conklin must refer to village, not school, as the Conklin school was colored. There was McGraw’s Ridge school and white kids who needed HS.

Bus 2 was a 1940 Chevrolet Hackney, changed in 1956/57, according to the 1951-57 file. Might have been rented.
Bus 16 was a 1946 Ford Hackney, Junked October, 1955, according to the 1951/57 folder. In 1945/46, it was a 1936
Chevrolet Hackney, which had been reserved for white students 1941/42 to 1944/45. The records for 1955/56 indicate that
this bus was then a 1955 International, which went from Rock Hill to Willisville, Banneker, Carver and Douglass.
Bus 21 was a 1944 Ford Thomas, according to the 1951-57 file and Junked October, 1955. It seems that in 1955, the Bus
was used for white schools route from North For and Woodburn to Lincoln and was a 1955 International.
Bus 24 was a 1950 Chevrolet Wayne, according to the 1951-57 file which was changed in 1953. The records for 1955/56
indicate that Bus 24 was a 1952 Chevrolet, which serviced Lucketts, Ashburn, Broad Run Bridge to Douglass Schools.
Bus 26 was a 1954 Chevrolet Wayne in our records; but there must have been earlier version. The same number was also
assigned to a 1950 Chrevolet Wayne which was replaced in 1955 as Bus 32. The 1955 records indicate that Bus 26 went
from Aldie to Middleburg on a Relay route to Douglass and was then a 1954 Chevrolet. From 1941/42 to 1945/46, it was a
1941 Chevrolet Hackney used exclusively for African-American transportation.
Bus 30 Was a 1953 GMS Wayner. In 1955, this bus was 1953 GMC which went from Hillsboro and Round Hill to Carver and
Douglass.
Bus 32 May have been a 1952 Chevrolet Wayne, replaced in 1955 as Bus 39. In 1955 Bus 32 was then an older 1950
Chevrolet, which went from Middleburg to Banneker.
Bus 33 was a 1946 Ford Hackney, which apparently became Bus 35 in 1956. The 1955 records indicate the same bus was
being used on a route from Scotland Heights, Bluemont and Philomont to Carver.
Bus 34 was a 1947 Ford Hackney
Bus 35. In 1955 this was a 1947 Ford which went from Conklin, Willard and Sterling to Oak Grove.
Bus 36 was in 1955 a 1947 Ford Hackey, which went from Watson to Douglass.
Bus 40 was in 1955 a 1951 Chevrolet which went from Lovettsville to Waterford and Douglass Schools.
Bus 51 was in in 1955 a 1944 Ford which went from Middleburg to Banneker.
