A faculty committee working with Mr. Fairbanks and Mr. Stone, Eva Stone, Willis Orr, Dorothy Jernigan and Marjorie Johnson, last spring had planned the color for the interior, so those plans were given to the painters. At last the building was finished on schedule and equipped with mostly new furniture, and on September 7, school started on time and in the newbuilding.lt is with humble appre- ciation and thanks, for their interest and hard work, that we hereby dedicate the 1950 Copper Cat to the members of the Board of Education and to our superintendent who brought our new building into being.

THESE flRf THf fflLHS IUHO It took more than wishful thinking to make our dreams come true. It took long hours of work and planning by our superin- tendent, Jos. H. Fairbanks, and our board of education, L. L. McDaniel, E. E. Shaver and Warren Smith. Long ago our faculty submitted plans for their departments and suggestions for the whole building. Their plans were incorporated into the blue prints by Lescher and Mahoney, architects and eventually the final plans were approved. Then came sessions with the contractors, the Womack Construction Company, and the sub contractor s--electricians, plumbers, heating company, the roofers, and finally the L. L. MC DANIEL President On the stage at the dedication ceremony or OUR new school were; left to right, Nte. W. S. Ferguson, Mr. Warren FenZi , Mr. E. E. Shaver, Mr. At. Wempe , Mr. W. T. Smith, Mr. J. H.
