FOREWTHHJ TABLE OF CONTENTS just think, we're the last graduating class from this school was a familiar phrase with our seniors as history and progress were being made, We said good- bye to the old familiar red brick and ivy-covered buildings which had guided students on their way for the last 97 years. This year, like every year, was unique in itself with events that happen only once. We remember when it got so cold and snowy school was dismissed and when the flu absences left classrooms half full. We read Pat Boone's 'TWIXT TWELVE AND TWENTY and the DIARY OF ANNE FRANK. We watched Maverick and Rifleman on TV and talked about Brigitte Bardot and Ricky Nelson. We found time to hum Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Alvin's Har- monicaf, With you, the reader, we look back on this school year not as an end but as the consummation of a job well done. May you look forward to the new school as a challenge of new ideas and things to be doneg however, keep this thought in your minds and hearts-THIS WAS YOUR SCHOOL.

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
