e c t i o On West Concord 1966-1969 “Memoria in Afterna” Formerly known as OLIVE HILL HIGH SCHOOL, WEST CONCORD became the first school in North Carolina devoted exclusively to the ninth grade student. This new idea, originated in 1965, created many problems both for the administration and the student. Most of these have been solved to the benefit and satisfaction of all concerned. There are still some problems - but a few of them, like the inevitable “death and taxes” we shall have with us always. This Annual - REFLECTIONS - (which was the “brainchild” of a few students of the first ninth grade class at WEST CONCORD who will, incidently, graduate from MORGANTON HIGH SCHOOL this year, and a forward-looking, democratic principal) - would like to take this opportunity to recognize the principals who have permitted, pampered, and persuaded the students to publish this record. We would, also, like to recognize the four editors who have so diligently worked to make this a creditable publication. MR. GARNIE BRENDLE 1965-66 mr. david mckinney 1966-67 MR. RALPH ABERNETHY 1967- 68 1968- 69 CINDY HARBISON 1966 JANET GREENE 1967 BETTY BROWNING 1968 SARAH BROWN 1969 4
