It was September, 1973, and I was a junior attending High Point High School in the metropolitan area of Washington, DC. From 1954-1994, my high school only had two principals. Frank Tracy had just taken over in the fall of 1973, and he wanted to leave his mark early on. It was a hot September afternoon when he held his first assembly in the gym.
My graduating class had 751 students, and the classes before us and after us had about the same. This meant the assembly had over 2,300 people including teachers, administrators and staff packed tightly into the muggy gymnasium.
