Finally after overcoming numerous difficulties Wayne County High' School opened its doors to students in the fall of 1922. Students met the newly chosen faculty in the combination store and dwelling which was usedas a high school building during the first two years of the existence of the school. For the first year the faculty consisted of C. T. Hatcher, principal and T. B. McClure and Alice Miller, teachers. During the second year Olive G. Murphy, C. B. Taylor and Elizabeth B. 'Taylor were added to the faculty and Mr. McClure withdrew from it. With the opening of the third year the new building now occupied by the school was completed. One hundred thirty students enrolled for the year. The new mem- bers of the faculty were W. M. Garrison, Mary M. Hall, Vernon Frazier, Miss Murphy. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor did not return.
