Mary Norwood Jones - On Orange County Training School (clip)
Interviewed by Bob Gilgor on January 29, 2001
Mary Norwood Jones (MNJ): Well, not at Northside. It was Orange County Training School and this school became Northside in 1951. My class was the last graduating class to attend this school and graduate from twelfth grade. At that particular time it was named Lincoln. The name of the school was Lincoln.
Bob Gilgor (BG): It became Lincoln in 1949?
MNJ: No. The name was changed to Lincoln. It was Orange County Training School and this school was named Lincoln High School and then they built the new Lincoln down on Merritt Mill Road and the class behind me attended that school to complete twelfth grade.
BG: So you left here in 1951?
MNJ: ’51, and the class of 1952 attended the new Lincoln High School on Merritt Mill Road.,
