LTHS 1952 Lake-Noxen High School, 1956 Q Recently questionnaires were Sent to class members with the request that each person note a special memory of Lake-Noxen High School. A recurring theme from the group is one of grati- tude and appreciation for having the opportunity to attend a small school where it was possible to make close, life-long friendships ith classmates and teachers. One classmate wrote, “I re- member walking out the front door on the last day of school. As I descended the outside stairs, I realized that this would be the last time I would see many of my classmates and teachers with whom I had spent so much time in 12 years. It was a warm, sun- ny June day and one of my friends would get married the next day. Wow, I haven't thought bout these things in years!” Lake-Noxen High School was not just a building. It was teach- ers and students, a celebration of an era, and in retrospect, of a simpler time. Many former stu- dents and area residents have gathered together to form the Noxen Historical Community As- | sociation in an effort to preserve. | ® of those things. The ‘building has been determined {0 be stable = f and in good condition but with many repairs to be made. They hope to return the old school- house to its former glory and open it to the community once again.

He said he fears someone could be seriously hurt or even killed by the students, who drive erratically through the develop- ment. “That intersection at Peartree Lane and (the Dallas Memorial Highway) is dangerous, and it is a raceway,” said Anthony. “Those of you that go to NASCAR, this is worse than NASCAR. “At least they are in a fence. There is no fence here.” Other residents echoed Antho- ny's commentary and said heavy use and speeding by Dallas stu- dents was dangerous and dis- ruptive.
