C L AN HISTORY--CHAPTE R C N E LEANED Trom The dusTy yellowed Tiles oT PiedmonT l-ligh School, The acTiviTies oT The clan Tor The pasT TiTTeen years Torm a record oT high achievemenT resplendenT wiTh The names oT ouTsTand- ing sTudenTs, who have disTinguished Themselves noT only in such school under- Talcings as scholarship, arT, and aThleTics, buT in Their laTer business endeavors as well. From These records we gaTher The hisTory oT The beginning oT The many PiedmonT insTiTuTions oT Today. From The meager beginning in a deserTed amusemenT parlc building has B IH, grown our modern well- U' mgs equipped campus. The main high school building, erecTed in l922, was Tollowed by The shaclcs in T925 and The iunior high building in I926. GreaT inTeresT was creaTed by The insTall- aTion oT a Magnavox, a sysTem by which all class rooms can be addressed aT one Time, and which was among The TirsT ever used in a school building. OTher impor- TanT improvemenTs included The caTeTeria in I923, The library in I924, Girls' Club Room in l925, and The Dean oT Boys' OTTice in l93O. The Tinal uniT oT The group, a new wing To replace The shacks, is rapidly nearing compleTion aT The pre- senT Time. PiedmonT l-ligh School owes a deep debT oT graTiTude To Those men and Adminimafion women who Tirelessly la- bored Tor The bond issue To Tinance The school, and who esTablished The principles which govern us Today. NoTable among Them are The members oT The TirsT Board oT EducaTion, The la+e Dr. l-l. D. Bell, lvlr. WalTer Brann, and Mrs. l-larrieT A. l-laas, and our TirsT sup- erinTendenT oT schools, The laTe Mr. Wil- liam John Cooper. FiTTeen years ago, Mr. l-larry W. Jones became superinTen- denT, and since ThaT Time he has been The guiding Torce in PiedmonT's policies. ln graTeTul appreciaTion, This issue oT The Clan-O-Log commemoraTes his TiTTeen years oT TaiThTul service. The TaculTy, Too, has had an ouTsTanding inTluence upon The developmenT oT our school, and Their loyalTy has meanT much To The school. Five members oT The presenT Tac- ulTy oT TiTTy-Tour were among The group oT Twelve Teachers who TirsT conducTed classes here. Two culTural TeaTures oT which Pied- monT l-ligh School is The proud possessor Cuhml Features are The philharmonic organ and The arT collecTion. The organ ll924l was parTially a giTT oT Pied- monT ciTizens, The remainder being paid Tor by sTudenT body Tunds. The arT col- lecTion ll93Ol has been enlarged Through The years, boTh by giTTs and by sTudenT purchases, unTil iT is now considered one oT The TinesT high school collecTions in exisTence. Among The many ouTsTanding clan organizaTions are The Alpha Clan, esTab- O n, V lished in l924 To promoTe 'ga in 'om service To The school: The younger service organizaTions, Gamma Gael, esTablished in I93 I, and BeTa ScoT, esTablished in l93Og The Band, whose ori- ginal ScoTch uniTorms have recenTly been replaced by splendid purple and whiTe capesg and The auThenTically clad KilTie Band, which has become our besT-known represenTaTive. EsTablished in I92I, The Carnival, or l-lighland Fling, has become a much-anTi- Tradmons cipaTed evenT oT The school year. l-leld in The early parT oT May, This day oT slciTs, dancing, rev- elry, and Tun proves noT only an ouTsTand- ing social success buT a Tinancial one as well. ln recenT years The CelebriTy Series has replaced The original ArTisT Course, TirsT underTalcen in The year I922-23, buT boTh have broughT To PiedmonT The very TinesT arTisTs and lecTurers oT The day.
