This image shows two teachers stting at a table in the library at Appalachian High School (1938-1965), also known as the Demonstration High School, in Chapell Wilson Hall, built 1938. Large models of an ear and an eyeball sit in front of them. Display on the back wall reads, "Our Schools: Builders of the Future." Appalachian High School was a joint venture between Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967) and Watauga County Schools, wherein Watauga students would be taught by Appalachian State faculty and students. Students were expected to teach in their field of specialty during the fall, winter, and spring terms of their senior year, including full-time teaching under the guidance of an experienced teacher. By the final term, the student was expected to carry at least half the workload of the supervising teacher. Student teaching was done in Appalachian Elementary School, Appalachian High School, or, when approved, other participating off-campus schools.
