The Byng auditorium

Oklahoma · USA · School

A small girl fell from the back of one of the modules. She is heard singing near the back of the hall: I dropped my dolly in the dirt.

The account from this school auditorium in Byng, Oklahoma concerns a little girl who fell from the back of one of the modular buildings.

She is heard singing, and what she sings is always the same line: I dropped my dolly in the dirt.

A second account circulates in the school about a named pupil, and since nothing about it has been documented and her family are in the district, it is not repeated here.

The singing is the part that has travelled, and it is worth noting why. A specific line of a specific song is the most memorable and most transmissible element a story can have. Everybody who hears it can repeat it exactly, and it does not degrade the way a plot does.

Whether any child was hurt at this school has not been established.

The school is in use.
