, 2 Q.. 5 5 5, 1 st i AS THE WAR BABIES matured, Hickory High School met the challenging needs of a growing student body and ex- panded its facilities to encompass the additional enrollment of over 450 sophomores in the fall of 1963. Expanding to meet the future, H.H.S.'s campus has become a study in the contrast of the old and new. New buildings have sprung up where only campus paths once converged. Nineteen hundred and sixty-three brought a change with the construc- tion of a new 15-room addition to the library and commercial building. Ultra modern and functional in design, it contrasts sharply with the dignity of the older main building, but blends with its newer sister buildings. With functional changes came a new curriculum. Advanced Junior English students were met with a new team-teaching program while advanced Seniors faced accelerated English. Sopho- mores had to tackle solid geometry while Seniors ventured into advanced algebra. Even though there is mobility and change, there is a place for both new and old. Tradition meets abstraction and each balances the other. CONSTRUCTION AND CHANGE formed various abstractions on the campus of Hickory High School this year. The con- struction of a new and better fire escape provided a long- needed change for students on the second and third floors. LIGHT FROM THE OLD illuminates the new, just as an active curriculum illuminates groping minds. k? 'ec.w IVI0ldihg Ad0IeSCehlS Il1I0 Adulls
