The white building on Vine St. opposite Montgomery Ward Bldg. is the Holloway Bldg.where Bud Holloway had his Real Estate office. When I was a Jr. in highschool(1948-49)Mrs.Dora Holloway, Bud Holliway's mother,ran a small cafe, on west side of the lower floor, in this bldg. where a majority of the students from both, the Jr. and the Senior High School, campuses went for lunch. The small cafe was overflowing with so many students you could hardly walk inside, during the lunch hour. After getting their orders filled many of the students sat outside on the retaining wall, on the south side of the Sr. High School Campus, while they ate their lunch.

The names superimposed on the two high school buildings are reversed. The one labled Jr. High was actually the Senior High and the one labled Senior High was actuall the Jr. High Bldg.
