 The Curve First, there was a point which was Deep Fork School. It was a three room building located near a mill in the woods. The school consisted of grades kindergarten through eighth grade. The popu- lation was 40. The point formed into a line with no straight parts and no an- gles. This began the construction of a bigger and better junior-sen- ior high school. The line grew longer still, but no angles. The band building, football stadium, and east campus building were built. A new grad- ing system categorizing classes was installed. The basketball team became class 2A champion for the third consecutive time. The test- ing clinics were conducted to aid students in increasing their scores on standardized test. These two clinics were conducted by the Professional Black Educators Asso- ciation. Drumming up a cadence for the band and fans are Tre' Burton, Charles Ingram, and Adrienne Jackson. Standing before the Falcons emblem is Mi- chelle Jenkins, Kim Miles and Lajuana Mayes. RIGHT, Helping with the beautifi- cation of the school by touching up rough spots is Michael Harrison.

It was a long straight line, 73 years long to be exact. There was a new superintendent. The con- struction of the elementary divi- sion was underway. The entire grading, scheduling, and registrar system was computerized. The rising cost of food, gas, clothing and everything else was surround- ing us. We had our own inflation in pride, morale, and spirit. Clean- up campaigns were conducted and a superintendent's newsletter was distributed. Spirit towels, bal- loons and boards could be seen any and everywhere. The curve was formed. This was Millwood Junior-Senior High School. The total population was 1,169. We had reached the top via togetherness academically, athle- tically, and socially. And together we stood at the top observing the curve. 4
