Administration The roots of the hickory tree symbolize the administration and the faculty of Hickory High School. just as the roots furnish water and food to the heart of a real tree, so do the executives and fac- ulty of a high school furnish the way to true understanding to the student. They provide the means by which a student may gain more knowledge and, in doing so, raise himself to a better position in life. In this section we present the administration who guide and direct the student from first grade to graduation. We present the faculty who played such an important role in the shaping of our thoughts and actions all through our school life. We present the maintenance force, without whose services no school can be run efficiently, and finally, we present the bus drivers who, morning and night, transport us to and from school.
