Murray County High School History

"Our world is centered around a school–
a school composed not only of rock and mortar,
But also of the traditions and spirit of the people
Whom it has served and who have served it.
To this building of rock and mortar built in 1934
with all its memories for the people of our community and our school;
we dedicate this 1973 ARROWHEAD.

Although the annual contained six pages of photographs in color, the remaining 180 pages of Arrowhead 1973 were printed in black and white, with a few divider pages printed black on green.

Cafeteria Workers: Mrs. Hill Hannah, Mrs. Jim Marriett,
Mrs. Willie Kemp, and Mrs. Paul Smith.

Custodian: Lee Blassinggame
