OUR SCHOOL’S HISTORY It was in the fall of 1937 that the good ship Huntersville High School stood at anchor at the wharf of its first school year. It was a new ship about to make its first sail in carrying many passengers to the glorious Land of Great Wisdom. This was a great day in the history of this proud ship as many people witnessed the eighteen students making preparations to sail. There were questions in the minds of the passengers as to what the crew of two high school teachers and three elementary teachers would endeavor to put before them as the voyage pro- gressed. Their minds were put at ease as they witnessed the capability of their Captain, Mr. Isaac T. Graham. His diligence and perseverance removed all possible doubt from their minds. They knew that, even though there would be great hardships ahead, they could put their trust in him to lead them through. As the ship docked annually it acquired more passengers and soon outgrew its seven class- rooms. In 1952-53 the vessel acquired a cafeteria and eight classrooms after having been in- troduced to an entire new host of students from two neighboring schools. In the year of 1953, the name of the ship was changed in honor of two great admirals who had been brave leaders in the establishment of Negro High Schools in Mecklenburg County. The admirals were Mr. Frank Lytle and Professor I.D. Torrence. When the great ship of Torrence-Lytle High School launched into another prosperous year in 1957, it proudly displayed its addition of twelve classrooms, a science laboratory, a home economics department, a gymtorium and an agriculture building. Today, the grand ship of Torrence-Lytle High School still proudly sails the seas of knowl- edge. It has docked at the Land of Great Wisdom many, who ever-pride the service of this ves- sel. In this year of 1966, it set out to sea with 964 students aboard, 45 teachers and five custod- ians composing the crew. All of this with Mr. Isaac T. Graham as Captain, and Mr. R. C. Mc- Hwain as Co-captain, has brought this ship through many journeys. This great ship has made many wonderful voyages striving to acquire all things which wovtld be of service to the passengers in the Voyage of Real Life. It has not faced any gale which it could not withstand, nor has it wrecked upon the shoals of any threatening task. Its capabilities have enabled it to procure the necessary passport at the entrance of each succeeding sea. This great ship has nursed seasick passengers back to the realm of intelligence and wisdom. Sail on, thou proud and mighty vessel. The tempests toss thee ' bout in vain Because thy sturdy-buUt foundation Will ever bring you back again. 3

A Tribute Miss Betty Caldwell, a 1964 graduate of Torrence-Lytle High School, is a grand example of the principles of beautiful womanhood. She accepts responsibility graciously; she performs her many duties efficiently. Even though she was not employed in the summer library program, Betty offered her services free. She was always available to the school in any way possible. When it became necessary to replace Mrs. Reid as secretary to the librarian, Betty, because of her willingness to work and her efficiency as a secretary, was promptly hired by the School Board. To prepare herself to fulfill her ambition to become an executive secretary, Betty attended the Southeastern Business College, Durham, North Carolina, in the fall of 1964. She has enrolled in the Executive Secretarial Course in Central Piedmont Community College, Charlotte, North Carolina. Miss Caldwell is the secretary to the librarian at our school. Her motto, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is exemplified in her daily contact with others. Her hobbies are reading and cooking. Miss Betty Caldwell, the Trojanette of the year, we salute you. 5
