In 1943, a 2-room science building was added on to the back of the school, and 2 eleventh-graders, Gladys Owens and Betty Prather, earned their high school (12-year) diplomas.
Lincoln High School got its 12-year program during the 1943-44 school year, almost 12 years after the white high schools.

Also, the (designated) Boyds Local Park is in the wrong place in Google Maps. And it has two 5-star reviews, which is mysterious, because the Boyds Local Park doesn't exist in the real world. And it includes a photo of the historic Boyds Negro School (hi! *waves*), which is not in either location.

Rosario Marina was drafted in 1944, was the groom in a 1975 marriage license in Queens, and died in 1982 (aged 56) in Queens.
The simplest explanation might be that the 1950 Census enumerator, John McMahon, didn't know Rosario was a multi-gender name.
