D.H.S. Opens New Doors The always exciting experience of entering school for the first time each new year was even more exciting this year for the students of D H S After three years of planning and construction, the new high school build- ing with its thirteen additional classrooms and modern facilities was com- pleted and ready for use. The new building which is connected to both Hargrave Hall and the Bosstick Gymnasium, was built to overcome the crowded classroom situation which prevailed at the Washington Street building and to provide the newest possible teaching facilities for Danville In addition to the new building several other new features were added to DHS. Two classes, Spanish and speech, were added to the curriculum. This year also added a new school superintendent, Merrill D. Vaughan, several new faculty members and many new students. As the doors to the school and classrooms are opened each day, so are the doors to something new and different. These doors may be opened for fun, knowledge or just curiosity, Regardless of the reason, something is gained from having opened them.
