HICKORY CONSTRUCTION GOING WITHOUT A HITCH

Construction on Hickory High School, the city's newest school, is

continuing. School officials expect that most parts of the building

will be finished by the time class begins on Sept. 3. The only

portion of the building where delays are anticipated is the school's

auditorium.
