THE 1955 HYLANDERMcDowell Co. Public Library

90 W. Court St.

Marion, NC 28752

FROM THE OLDFrom the time our High School had an enrollment of 200,

progression here has been unlimited and unceasing.

Our present building was constructed in the 1920's and at

that time was modern both in architecture and equipment.

In 1941, the west wing of the High School, including a

number of classrooms, the library, and part of the auditorium

was destroyed by fire. With the aidof federal funds, this damage

was repaired and the entire high school building modernized.

A gymnasium containing ample space for basketball court,

home economics rooms and a music room was also constructed.

Now we have outgrown our present school

plant and we are ready to begin a new era in

our ultra modern building which is almost

completed.

While we have had physical changes at Marion High School, the

original spirit of friendship and loyalty which accompanied its founding

still exists.

We will try to reveal to you in this yearbook some of these tra-

ditions and experiences during our years of progress in order that they

will remain in a special part of your memory— as long as memory

shall last.

TO THE NEW

WE DEDICATE

MRS. PATTY FINLEY

As you have dedicated yourself to all that is true,

just, and lovely, giving to us wise counsel and lofty

inspiration; so we, the Hylander Club of 1955, dedicatethis annual to you, that you may receive a portion ofthe reward which comes to those who give themselvesto others.

With a record of 6 wins and 4 losses in conference play, the Rippers finished third

in the Northern Division of the Western Conference, and but for a few bad breakswould have held a higher place.

Coaches Ditt and Broome did an excellent job with the team and we wish to

commend them for their service and leadership.
