The Spirit Of D.H.S. Continues Despite Consolidation With the passage of time, changes occur within any given framework. So it is at Dublin. Dub- lin High School has expanded from a small rural school to a large one. It now encompasses students from Fairlawn to Draper. D.H.S. has been in existence for over sixty years. During these years many generations have graduated from Dublin. The last year at Dublin was full of fun, spirit and pride. The closeness between students and faculty that has lasted through the years was more evident in 1973-74. The promises of the Administra- tion to help make the last year the best ever were superbly carried out. Mr. Lindstrom, in his opening remarks to the student body in September, commended D.H.S. students on their past accomplish- ments. He also urged the students to do their part in creating a suc- cessful school year and pledged his support. Since 1969, when the school bond issue was accepted, plans for a consolidated Pulaski County High School had been in the fore- ground of any educationally-ori- ented gathering. Pulaski and Dub- lin High Schools coordinated curriculums in 73-74 to ease the transition. Faculty and students of the two high schools, eagerly anticipated the opening of P.C.H.S., but remi- niscences of the past brought tears of happiness and sadness. Dublin High School ceased to exist as of June 1974, but the spirit of Dublin High, the real Dublin High School, will exist forever. Mr. Norman Crook checks arrival time for bus 18. 3
