Remembering The Past Striving For The Future The 1987 Silver Anniversary marks the 25th year of R. L. Turner High School's existence. In 1960 the building opened as Carrollton junior High School for two years. The following fall the building was to be opened as the new Carrollton High School. The original location of Carrollton High School was on College Drive Cwhich is now Belt Line Roadb, the present location of Perry junior High. Carrollton High School was then moved to its present location here at the corner of josey Lane and Crosby Road. The move changed only the location. The Lion mascot, school colors of blue and white, and the alma mater remained the same. The CFBISD superintendent at that time was Mr. R. L. Turner. In June of 1962, Mr. Turner unexpectedly died due to a heart attack. The School Board then renamed the school in his memory. The school then con- sisted of the northem half of A wing and all of B wing with the main offices facing Josey Lane. With 200 students, the first Senior Class was graduated in 1963. The curriculum was begin- ning to change due to experimen- 8 25th Annlversory tation in the levels of required classes: fundamental, regular, and advanced. Friday night was the time to cheer at the football game, cruise josey Lane, and dine at the local drive-in restaurant at the corner of Josey and College. With 24 classes of RLT graduates, several alumni have returned to RLT to teach: Ms. Julie Chastain, Ms. Rita Haynes, Ms. Lori Herbst, Mr. Rick Menasco, Ms. Debra Moore, Mr. Jim Murphy, Ms. Sheryl Singleton, Mr. Steve Stamp, and Ms, Sheryl Stutzman. Veteran teacher Doris Tipps has worked at RLT in various capacities for 25 years. Following the Homecoming game Oct. 10, the school cafeteria was the site of a recep- tion for all RLT alumni. Organizer Joanna Sweitzer said, The purpose was not only to renew old friendships, but to lay down the foundation for the Alumni Association. With the conclusion of the successful Silver Anniversary celebration, the administration, faculty, students, and community are now looking forward to RLT's Golden Anniversary. R. L. Turner 1962 Superintendent
