just as it takes time to develop the mature personality of an individual, so does it take years to develop the personality of a school. From its inception and through its years of growth, Hickory High has formulated a personality that is both distinctive and unique. The intervening years have traced the development of H.H.S. from a school without traditions to a school with hallowed customs and familiar patterns. For fifty years, the HICKORY LOG has recorded the story of this growing, changing institution and its student body. Each class has had its own personality, the composite contribution of its individual members. Each has made an imprint on the face of the school, has established its laws, written and unwritten, its ideals, and its dreams. On its Golden Anniversary, the LOG views the personality of H.H.S. and of the students who each year add new dimensions to a heritage, already rich and meaningful.

Hickor High Has A Multi Faceted Personalit Crowds of students come and are blended into the unity of their com- mon pursuits, yet they laugh and cheer and study and learn, not as a single mass but as thirteen hun- dred individuals. They converge upon Hickory High School, and as they depart by a thousand divergent paths, they leave their mark upon the personality of the school - a fresh idea, an organized club, a newly-initiated custom. They give of themselves and gain much in the process, as they assimilate the ideals, the enthusiasm, the knowledge, and the aspirations of their high school. Searching, they find a world which moves to the tune of Dixie, cheers for the Tornadoes, sweats over se- mester exams and college boards, salutes the maroon and gold colors, and fights for those all-important athletic championships. Their world is made unique by a school song and a favorite cheer, an aging build- ing and a modern language lab, a su- perior band and a prize-winning publication, a record-holding sprint- er and an excellent teacher. Classes and steadies, tests and dances, books and ball games fill this teen-age world which is punctuated with the unexpected, despite its ordered rou- tine. This is a place for fun, for friends, for growing pains - a place for belonging. THE BLUE AND GRAY colors of the Tornado band uniforms, reflect Hickory High's southern heritage. Band members proudly sound the notes of Dixie.
