In lieu of their annual reunion, the Aycock High School graduating class of 1959 will attend Rock-dale’s Juneteenth observance Saturday and ride in the parade.

Class member Marie Thompson said the Class of 59 produced Aycock’s only school yearbook and had 13 honor graduates out of 28 class members.
