The Chincoteague School Newspaper.
Two printings, one just before spring break in 1946. The other, undated but looks like it’s during the war. Notice it’s called Chinky News not Misty News. Misty was still over a year from being born. A year before Marguerite Henry would visit Chincoteague.
Looks like the students were celebrating another childrens book that had been printed about 10 years prior. Chinky, the Banker Pony.
A great glimpse into our island’s pass

Happy Birthday to little Misty. This sweet little thing had no idea how Chincoteague was going to change. 80 years ago today, Misty was born and within a week, Marquerite Henry saw her, feel in love, and wrote the children’s classic “ Misty of Chincoteague”.
