XV Contents Administration Elementary Junior High Favorites Activities Sports Advertising Dedication Here's to our dear old high school. Here's to our high school days. These two short lines bring back fond and cheerful memories to those who know their meaning. For fifty-five years the North Texas Laboratory School has held its head high through glories, victories, and bitter defeats. The name Lions means much to those who have yelled it at games. Now when the name Lions is heard, it will bring tears to the eyes of those who knew its teams and sadness to the hearts of those who loved it. Yes, Lab, we will never forget you. There- fore our 1969 Lion's Roar we dedicate to you, our school forever. Memories The old man shuffled down the empty corridor and out the door of the building known as Laboratory School. He had never seen the building before, yet almost half his life was connected with this school. He paused, memories running through his head . . . Teacher's College Training School opened its doors to students in January, 1914, in a seven-room frame house. A Miss FieroMaude L. Fiero, that was itwas the first director. Four other teachers taught one hundred pupils in the seven primary grades. In three years two more grades were added. The First World War affected even the school. In the fall of 1918, Director L. P. Floyd moved the classes to the first floor of the Manual Arts Building. T. C. Training School was transformed into a barracks. The year 1919 brought still another migration, this time to the new Education Building. The old man's grandson knew it as the Foreign Language Building. In 1920, a kindergarten, a tenth grade, and a new directorJ. M. Simmons were ushered onto the scene. The old man chuckled ... In 1925, Dr. L. A. Sharp became the new director, and the eleventh grade was added to the school, now newly named the Demonstration School. In May, 1926, the first graduating class of thirty-five students was announced. Unknowingly, Dr. Sharp had given him his whole education in one school ... After seven years of college and teaching, the then-young man returned to the school. Now it was known as T. C. H. S. ... A shadow passed over his face as he thought of the death of T. C.'s chxld Suzanne Swenson. She had been so young . Lunches in Old Anney, the education annex ... Votes for elections, a penny a piece ... In 1941, J. L. Burks was made principal. Another catastrophic World War came, this one taking the old man to a foreign country to follow his military career for twenty years ... And now he had made the mistake of coming back and trying to locate Demonstration School. But there had been another change of location, this time to the present site on Highland and Avenue C. In 1951 it had become affiliated with the Denton School System and was known as Lab ... Th old man's faded eyes roved over the building as if searching for some- thing he had lost. Now the school was to be changed again. A wave of indigna- tion passed through him. Yes, Lab was to change, but this time the change was to be . .. permanent.

The members, elected by the student body, have been beneficial in making N.T.J.H. a better school. Lab School had one of the first councils for junior high schools and was a leader in establishing council workshops in Texas. This year was the first time the Lab council used a money-making project to further the goals of the group. 88 Student Council Officers Ronny ReddenVice-President Ellen HopkinsTreasurer Mellissa Parliamentarian Student Council Meetings i Quit posing for the camera, David. It's time to get own to business. e This must really be important. Look at the interest on the faces of Ronny and Elle: The Student Council of 1968 isn't different from that of the one in 1948. Everyone still laughs, plays, and talks, but never listens. 1968 S o i Il 4 Rev. Martin spoke at the 1968 Honor Society Assembly. These students were chosen as new members.
