T. Cousins The music goes round and round, and comes out, not only in our high school, but in the hearts of its students, and is felt in the entire community. Mr. Cousins, for your tre- mendous part in this phase of our school life, we proudly dedicate our 1957 CAT’S TALE to you. To us, you are Our Music-maker, but in reality you are a musician, composer, educator, and friend. In many little ways, you have caused us to appreciate the faultless details that make up a musical composition so that not only in Morganton High School, but throughout our lives, we shall have a better appreciation of how the common chords of music bind us together. m The School Board The School Board is the backbone of our educational system in Morganton city schools. To them, we extend a heart-felt thanks for their conscientious efforts and continuous interest in us. k J. O. BARBOUR, Chairman NATHAN COOPER G. T. CORNWELL E. R. MORAN Mrs. E. W. PHIFER Mrs. C. P. REINHARDT CLAUDE RUSSELL Administration We wish to extend our thanks to the Superintendent, Mr. M. S. Parham, and to the Director of Instruction, Mr. O. R. Pe- terson, for their thoughtfulness and kindness to us. Through their efforts, we have obtained much more equipment which has made our school better able to meet the needs of its pupils.
