Expanding with the high school was the community. Moves to new quarters and u” dressing up” of older establishments were evidenced in the area. NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

GYMNASIUM As M.H.S. awaited this year’s school session, many changes were taking place— Montevallo was preparing to meet the need for progress. With September's arrival, seventh and eighth graders found new quarters in the Alice Boyd Building—vacated by the primary grades as they moved to their new building—and even the old “Jeter Building’—once used to house the upper elementary grades had a “new look” as Alabama College’s Social Science Building. SCIENCE LAB For sports enthusiasts, a new gym- nasium with facilities for both girls’ and boys’ phys. ed. classes as well as interschool events was readied and a much longed for stadium- was provided to enhance the athletic de- partment. The renovation of existing facili- ties allowing for a “new” science department and an enlarged busi- ness education department was also introduced during this streamlining process.

All aspects of school life had to keep pace with these changes in schedule, fa- cilities and curricula. School clubs which formerly met during the activity period were left with the alternative of meeting after school or disbanding. Many disbanded. However, the most important school organization, the Student Council, continued to conduct its business in after school meetings and special lunch sessions. The success of this year’s Council was insured by the leadership of a man who has sponsored the Council for many years—a man who has continued to see the need for progress. To this man, Mr. B. W. Hamric, we dedicate the 1965 Montaia.
