Efficiency Score of Pocahontas Schools

The sources do not explicitly provide average scores for the school districts. However, we can analyze the data provided in the "Efficiency Score of Pocahontas Schools" chart to understand the general performance levels and identify some trends in the school scores from 1916-1917.

Key Observations Regarding School Scores:

Range of Scores: The scores range from a low of 66 (Frost) to a high of 100 (multiple schools), indicating a wide variation in school performance across the county.
Class A Schools: Schools classified as Class A generally have the highest scores. Examples include Edray, Greenbank and Arbovale which all received a score of 100. Other Class A schools like Cloverlick, Green Valley, and Traveller's Repose all have scores in the 90s.
Greenbank District: The Greenbank district includes schools with both some of the highest scores, such as Greenbank and Arbovale (100), but also lower scores like Frost (66) and Linwood (77).
- The average of all 15 scores in the Greenbank district is approximately 88.73.
Hillsboro District: The Hillsboro district shows a range from 75 to 87, suggesting a more consistent performance across its schools.
- The average of all 10 scores in the Hillsboro district is approximately 82.6.
Huntersville District: The Huntersville district includes schools with consistently high scores in the 80s and 90s, as well as some scores in the 70s.
- The average of all 10 scores in the Huntersville district is approximately 86.5.
Other Districts: Schools in other districts that are listed individually show both very high scores (98-100) as well as some scores in the low 90s.

General Trends and Implications:

Variability: There is considerable variability in school scores both across and within districts, which indicates that some schools are doing very well while others need to improve.
District Performance: The Greenbank and Huntersville Districts appear to have slightly higher average scores than the Hillsboro District, although there are schools with both high and low scores in each district.
Focus Areas: The data suggests a need for a targeted approach to improve the performance of schools with lower scores, perhaps focusing on improving facilities, providing better equipment and resources, and teacher training.

Limitations:

Without the individual scores for every single school in the county, it is not possible to calculate a precise overall average score for Pocahontas County.
The averages calculated are for the districts listed and it is not known what the other districts' scores are, so these averages are not inclusive of all the schools in the county.
The data provided is from the 1916-1917 school year, and it is not known if these scores are representative of other school years.

While the sources do not provide average scores, the data allows for the observation of general trends and areas where improvements can be made in the educational system.

Soccer in Pocahontas

The sources describe the formation of a soccer team in Pocahontas County and how players were evaluated in the early days of the sport.

Team Formation and Early Days

A colony of young Englishmen in the Mingo neighborhood started the idea of soccer in the area.
Teams soon formed at Marlinton, Elk, Clover Lick, Stony Bottom, Dunmore, Oak Grove, Mill Gap, Greenbank, Riel, Hillsboro, Dunlevie, Cass, Mountain Grove and other schools.
The town of Frost is noted as the only town that has maintained its soccer team through the years.
The Frost team was organized by a man named Frost, and Cliff was the first captain.
Soccer football history in Pocahontas County started to "unwind" with the formation of the Frost team.

Player Evaluation

In the early days of soccer in Pocahontas County, players were rated based on their size and ability to knock down and run over other players, rather than their speed or knowledge of the game.
Little details such as speed or knowledge came later in the evaluation process.
The Frost team weighed between 2,200 and 2,400 pounds when it got started.

Other Details

The Frost team became well-known.
The team's history included a period where they piled up a record of over 100 goals without having been scored against.
The team was known for having a spirit that enabled them to pile up one of the greatest records of all time.
The team was known for their love of the game.
One player, E.G. Sharp, joined the team in 1895.
The team included Cliff Sharp, Brad Sharp, Upton Sharp, Aaron Sharp, Holmes Sharp, Butler Sharp, George Sharp, Summers Sharp, Grant Dilley, Charles Moore, Oscar Williams, and Sherman Gibson, among others.
Mr. Gibson was the first goal keeper and also furnished the field upon which the games were played from the beginning.
The team's success in the early days brought fame to the village with less than one hundred residents.
A poem in the newspaper recalled the early days of the team.
A man named "Kenshaw Mountain Landiz" was recognized for his devotion to the promotion of the sport.
It was said that Frost organized a team with "a bunch of two hundred and fifty pounders".
The team was noted for playing with fair play and good sportsmanship.
It is mentioned that a soccer player named "La-dy Luck" turned her back on the team once and Frost got the short end of the tally.
A man named Mr. John was a member of the team for a long time, and his son, who is 51, also plays on the team.

These details show the early development of soccer in Pocahontas County, highlighting the importance of physical strength in the initial stages and the community's love for the game.

create the song lyrics for He Promised Me a Diamond, I Got a Deer Head

(Verse 1)
He said he'd sweep me off my feet, a love story to unfold
A life of luxury, riches untold
Diamond rings and fancy cars, a mansion by the sea
But his promises were hollow, just a cruel fantasy

(Chorus)
He promised me a diamond, I got a deer head
Hung above the fireplace, a trophy for the dead
Instead of pearls and champagne, I got buckshot on the wall
This ain't the fairytale life, I'm gonna have a fall

(Verse 2)
He said we'd travel the world, from Paris to Rome
But we're stuck in this backwoods shack, feelin' far from home
He said he'd write me love songs, serenade me in the night
But all I hear is the howling wind, and the crickets chirping bright

(Chorus)
He promised me a diamond, I got a deer head
Hung above the fireplace, a trophy for the dead
Instead of pearls and champagne, I'm gonna have a fall
This ain't the fairytale life, I'm gonna have a fall

(Bridge)
Guess I shoulda seen the signs, the muddy boots and the calloused hands
The love for the outdoors, the life upon the land
But I was blinded by the dream, the city lights and the fame
Now I'm stuck in this wilderness, whisperin' his forgotten name

(Chorus)
He promised me a diamond, I got a deer head
Hung above the fireplace, a trophy for the dead
Instead of pearls and champagne, I'm gonna have a fall
This ain't the fairytale life, I'm gonna have a fall

(Outro)
Maybe someday I'll escape, this life of dirt and grime
Find a city where the diamonds shine, and leave this love behind
But for now, I'll stare at that deer head, and dream of what could have been
A life of love and laughter, where happiness would begin.
