Yes, for eighty-eight years, Aurelian Springs School has meant many different things for just as many different people. Because of the memories of its former students, Aurelian Springs High School lives on. The last graduation exercises are over and the gymnasium has rocked for the last time at the sounds of a tight basketball game, but the spirit that is Aurelian Springs High School will never die. 14

In making consolidation plans for the upcoming year, the board planned to do away with the high school at Aurelian Springs. As a result, for the first time in the history of the school, teachers, parents, and students of all the three races represented in high school worked together to take steps to prevent such action by the board or any other faction. Even though the effect of their efforts was limited, the patrons of Aurelian Springs School can be proud of the interest they showed in their school.
