Enthusiasm ran high as school doors openedg This was a typical scene on August 29th, our first day of school, when we paid our hard earned cash for books. Do you remember the first day of school when classes seven through twelve met in the gym to receive their initial greeting from Prin- cipal Mr. Curry? With the completion of the new school our system became the 6:3:3 thus this was the last time for this type of assembly. Classrooms were so crowded that even the library and the cafeteria were pressed into service at various periods during the day. There are many things we remembered from this year. One of the most interesting and con- fusing was the time factor as many homes were on fast time with the school on slow time. All in all it was fung it was hardg and every- one, so the administration hoped, gained valu- able knowledge. Seniors jim Gross and Tom Downey confer about today's algebra assignment before the 8:15 bell.

Three of the oldest living graduates, Mr. R. D. Sellars fclass of 18925 Mrs. Ida Rushton fclass of 1891, Mrs. Ger- trude Likely fclass of 18941, and Su- perintendent Warren Hert are shown in front of the oldest building, the Acade- my, erected in 1861 by the Friends Church on our campus. Serving the first six grades of Mooresville children, the Newby Building blends beautifully with our campus. This four-room building, built in 1924 houses not only the home economics classes but also the central heating plant This is the way our new high school looked in the spring as it was being constructed. The gymnasium has set the scene for cheers and heartbreak for over 300 basketball games since 1921. For 52 years this building has served primarily the high school studentsg however, as the new building is erected this one will open its door only to junior high pupils .NNSNXQ
