THE HISTORY OF J. B. PENNINGTON HIGH SCHOOL went to press on the Diamond Jubilee year of its history, 1970. There are many things the history cannot record in its mere 200 pages. Its purpose has been to give a representa- tive cross section of the activities and achieve- ments of a great institution. The story reveals that the school has been a part of the community and county, as well as the happenings and events of the world. It was impossible to obtain a com- plete list of teachers or an official list of all graduates. There are so many people who have contributed to this history it is impossible to name them all. The willingness of the principal and faculty to cooperate, the long work hours of all the staff members, and much research by the senior classes through the years have made this book a reality. We thank Allen Knox, Alabama State Depart- ment of Education, for insisting we write this history and for his help in organizing the ma- terial. We owe much to Superintendent and Mrs. Clyde Blackwood for help in obtaining informa- tion from their office. We want to thank Larry Lewis of Paragon Press for his professional help in layouts and editorial criticism. Our thanks to the many alumni for encouraging us in writing the history and for purchasing the book which financed the project. We thank the teacher aides for assistance in typing, Mrs. G. L. Hathorn and Irene Carns for their Scrapbooks, Vianna Cobb Garner for college and school catalogues, and the following for contributing pictures: Mrs. J. L.
