Combs addresses the student body on the opening day of school, September 16, 1949. 3. Hattie Faulkner, senior, glows with justifiable pride as she leaves the new school on opening day. The new Culpeper County High School opened for classes September 16, 1949. On this opening day Prin. ). H. Combs and Supt. Paul Hounshell addressed the 513 pupils at an assembly in the combination gym-auditorium. Mr. Combs stressed the importance of keeping the school and grounds in good, clean condition. Emphasizing the purpose of the new school, Mr. Hounshell said: “Your new high school was built not just for housing, but to provide facilities for a better education than you were able to secure in the Ann Wingfield Building. If parents see that you use this to advantage and take care of the building, they will consider it a good investment.” This beautiful building, constructed by the Goode Construction Company of North Carolina, under the supervision of Mr. K. A. Bates, rates as one of the most modern and elaborately built in the state of Virginia. Other than 20 class rooms the school consists of two well equippe d science rooms, a five-room home economics suite, a large gymnasium, a modern cafeteria, plus a spacious, well-lighted library located on the first floor front. New to the students were the recessed lockers lining both the upper and lower halls, and the public address system, over which announcements are made. The students of Culpeper High School are both proud of and grateful for the costly $700,000 school which has been provided for them; and because of their pride in the school and its grounds, they will endeavor to leave it as they found it. 4 12 y
