The past meshed seamlessly with the present and pointed to the future during the 125th anniversary celebration at Gainesville High School on Sunday. Scores of graduates from yesteryear toured the campus, paraded past historical displays and gazed at memorabilia marked by eras — 1892-1949 at the main building’s atrium; 1950s, 1960s and 1970s at the Alumni Gym; and the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s at the cafeteria. Judi Mauldin Saylors, who lives in Abbeville, S.C. drove 2 1/2 hours to join her friends from the class of 1957 at the event.
