The first class of forty-four classes spread over 44 years to receive their graduating diploma was the year 1925.The 1969 Senior Class was the last class to graduate before renovation of this revered building of bricks and mortar and the decision made to convert this dear sweet, kindly building to a middle school within the School Board District 35, while a new middle school was being built.   Sadness enveloped the area when this revered, stately Queen of the Ouachita was demolished in mid 1976.

With the football field in the background, the visitors' bleachers on the left, Center Street Elementary in the far background beyond the goal posts, and Coleman Stadium on the right,  and the revered Queen of Learning no longer standing to protect the past makes it all look so cold and barren.  No more Friday night victories; no more cheering for the Black and Gold.... fading memories is all that's left!
