HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1930 First Year Bright and early on September 13, 192( , sixty trembling, anxious-faced children made their way reluctantly to the “Temple of Learning” known as the llarrodsburg High School. To climb those few stone steps that lead to the campu® and walk up to that beautiful brick building was almost too hard a task for us to undertake.
