1968 ~ 1969

1968-69 ~ The new Watauga High School has completed the first cycle of its life. Out of a melange of mistakes, achievements, experiments and events, there emerges the first four-year graduating class.

The 1969 seniors are the "keystone" class - a group whose personal success marks the success of Watauga as a consolidated school.
Tim Westmoreland and Richard Randall were judged the first place affirmative team in state debating competition. Richard was named state champion.
"Clean Up Day" ~ a day of service stressing School Wide Beautification Seen here these girls are at the "Girls Lockers" sprucing up the place.

This photo was taken from within Mrs. Elvey's English V class on Sadie Hawkins day. Even on this casual and playful day "hillbillies" must study, as Reggie Weber proves by giving and oral report.

The "Original Pioneers" the seniors of the class of 1969. Class officers: Danny Hayes, President; Rachel Yates, Secretary; Donna Ward, Treasurer; Terry Taylor, Vice President.
