lj U THE 1923 MESSENGER U U The New High School HE year 1923 will forever be associated with the new building. Few of us can remember when a new high school building was not discussed but it has been the good fortune of the present class to see that discussion gloriously materialized. The student body was transferred to the new high school building November 20, 1922 and of the impressions associated with that memorable day perhaps Senior gratitude and pride were most conspicuous. We were so delighted at the provision which has been made for our work and our play in this, a new domain. To have one's own locker! and an honest- to-goodness libraryg and just to drift into a modern cafeteria provided for us aloneg a chameleon-like auditorium, first an auditorium, then a gymnasium, and then neither but a theater where school plays could at last be satisfactorily pro- ducedg last but not least, a sure-enough swimming pool. The class of '23 especially thanks the school board for enabling it to graduate from the most modern high school in North Carolina. Page Seven
