On November 13, 1905, the board de cided to erect a brick building to cost $10,000. On June 1 the board received the architect’s drawings. The ground-breaking ceremony was held early in the spring of 1907. In the late spring of early summer, J. D. Huggins, Sr., was hired as field agent until the school could open. The corner stones—one for each of the sponsoring associations — were laid on June 29, 1907. Professor Hugins was made the first principal of the school. Professor Huggins se cured a faculty, consisting of him self, Miss Lula McGee, Miss Alma Smith, Miss Annie Hamrick, and Miss Mary Clarke Pitts; and the school opened in October of 1907.

However, the coach feels that the boys are well up to it and we should, with some ardent support, win the game.

We believe that’s an excellent rec ord, So let’s stay behind our team and see them on to victory in our conference. As one of our cheerlead ers has so aptly put it, “We need your school spirit and we can only support our team, which so justly deserves it, by each individual’s co operation and willingness to help.” We have a good team—the best— and let’s show them that we believe in them.
