Notes of Interest
Lajuan (Nichols) Norvelle supplied a 1953-54 Yearbook from which much of this information was taken.
The Yearbook for this year list only three bus drivers. Were there only three bus routes this year? I had other reports that this was the case in the last few years of operation.
Apparently both 7 & 8 were integrated into the high school program. The number of teachers appears to have dropped to seven.
