p'ZZf1C'Z ESTLED deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains of East Ten- nessee lies the thriving community ot lohnson City. Gut- side that wall of mountains, few know about its natural resources, its progressive industries, or its scenic grandeur. Modern civilization has thoroughly penetrated this region, yet has not marred its rustic beauty. Industrial leaders are rapidly learning the advantages ot this southern mountain re- gion, and now one may see giant textile factories on the sites oi indian battlefields. Southern chivalry and mountain brusgue- ness meet in sharp contrast. With this as a background, We have built our lite at Science Hill. So, in presenting the WATAUGAN tor 1939, it is our aim not only to portray our senior year in school, but to portray as well, its environment-lite as it really exists in the southern moun- tain regions.
