Pennington High School - Yearbook (Blountsville, AL)

Page 5 text:

x Few institutions in our area have en- joyed a longer period of continuous ser- vice than has J. B. Pennington High School, which for seventy-five years has served the people of Blount County and the surrounding area. Therefore, the Diamond Jubilee year of 1970 seemed an appropriate time to put together the ma- terial students and teachers have col- lected over the years. This history has been written to fulfill a need for an accurate account of Penning- ton High School. The name of the school has changed from Ninth District Agricul- tural School, to Central District Agricul- tural School, to State Secondary Agri- cultural School, to Blountsville High School to its present name J. B. Pennington High School. Fire having destroyed all official records three times, the collection of ma- terial has been difficultg there may be some errors in class rolls. The staff wishes to thank all who have contributed to the compilation of this history. 'QON Hlg 111 v VL xv! O DIAMOND IUBILE-E YEAR Q- V ILL E PA' C: Se AGC' Q- -ff ' V' ,, . , CD G S wh bv f xx 9 I
