To the halls of Boone County High School, every student who has ever passed through has been important. Since 1953 when Boone County first opened its doors it has been a place of enjoyment and learning for many. The reconstruction of those halls has made a tremendous impact on the entire school. Along with the students and an excellent teaching staff, it has helped Boone to become stronger and better than ever. The renovation began with a much-needed facelift to the front of the building. Its looks were greatly improved with the addition of all new windows. This was a very big change over the previous assortment of blue and green windows that were across the front of the building. A new gym and athletic facility were added and the old gym was also renovated. The newly constructed section of classrooms accomodated a wide range of desperately needed classroom space. New math rooms and a new computer room were added. This expansion gave us the capacity for a bigger and better computer class. The computer classroom was furnished with about thirty Tandy 1000 computers and was one of the few rooms lucky enough to have air-conditioning. The computer room was also furnished with no- chalk chalkboards.

It was not freezing cold like many Homecomings before but was quite comfortable. Boone County's win over Newport Central and the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Emma Hyslop, made it a most memorable occasion. The Talent Show was a huge success. Mrs. Susan Patterson and the Rebel Reveiw Staff put together a very good show for everyone to enjoy.
