4. . . Qfv ' ing a'famiIy. . As I.folded the paper and laid it aside, Iewond- ered what the achool was like now. I was suddenly taken with nostalgia and knew that I must visit my Alma Mater againx and too, look up the other members of my class. I immediately prepared to make a trip to the South. After a plane ride to Nashville I rode on a bus to Monteagle. when I arrived at Monteagle,I hailed a taxig and who should be driving it but Juan- ita Kilby. On the way to Tracy City she told me that Everett Kilgore and Juanita Nunley were now happily married and lived in Tracy City. As we neared the scene of my high school days, I sat on the edge of my seat and strained my eyes for the first view of the campus and building. As it came into sight, my first thought was of a well kept campus. How beautiful the grounds were! A beautiful rock fence enclosed the campus. As we turned into the magnificent driveway leading to the buildings, I centered my attention up- on the buildings. My eyes first fell upon a new gym- nasium. I recalled how badly we had needen one in '45! Upon entering the gymnasium, I found .it to be well equipped with everything the athlete could de- sire. Under the gymnasium, as used to be, was still the cafeteria, but not as I had once eaten in it. This one was a new stream lined place. All the mode ern devices which followed World War II were 'here. Next I went into the main building. How the memories engulfed me as I swung open the familiar end door and walked into the hall! There seemed to be a new shine about everything, yet somehow, all the old things were there too--the things the class of 1945 had made a part of Grundy County High. I strolled down the hall and into the auditorium. I rushed to the stage to see if a long hoped for dream had been realized. I glanced up--yes! The stage had been ceiled, How happy I was for the students who now came here! As I stood in the center of the stage and looked out into the rows of empty seats, I had the feeling of being at home. If only for a day I had truly come home. aw. 1,11- L-1w'3'.,...,-' H .ea- my '14, Q . i55,f,.eg:9sf,3fv?PtfiT11' sawn?
