Their jobs varied from hosting visiting dignitaries to disciplining rowdy students.

Watauga Library Chosen For Demonstration Use The Watauga High School library was chosen by the Demonstration School Libraries Project as one of the six- teen demonstration libraries in North Carolina. The schools funded under this program received a special supplemental allotment of federal funds, which were used for the purchase of a wide variety of materials. The Wa- tauga library was indeed fortunate because its being made an exclusive library has enabled people from all over the county to see one of the outstanding libraries in the state of North Carolina.
