Classmates, you may remember a Meridian High School faculty member, Jack Shank . Jack, I believe taught in the Junior College and was the sponsor of our school newspaper, The Wildcat. He is pictured here in front of Silverleaf Manor in Meridian where he had been a guest for lunch. I was at the same table and later corralled him into this photograph outdoors. He is holding a copy of the first volume of his book, A History of Meridian. There is a sequel that I have not read, but he is willing to correspond with anyone interested in the books. Jack also wrote for the Meridian Star and developed the historical series originally for the Star.
I invited Jack to participate in our blog, if he chooses to do so. One point of interest he shared with me is that Kate Griffin is being replaced by moving 9th graders, I think, to the Meridian High School campus. Others of you may have more information on that than I do, but I do know that the Meridian Junior College Campus being relocated created space for 10th graders years ago.
Share what you know about this. When in Meridian, I did see new construction at Meridian High School along 23rd avenue where the new grade will be located.
