The Way We Were
Cherished Memories from Our Early Days The photos may have faded but the stories remain vivid, according to the many alumni who shared memories of their early days at Cabarrus Academy and Cannon School. Read on to learn about the cherished traditions and experiences that live in the hearts of those who attended.
Stephanie Sloop Attended Cabarrus Academy 1969-1972 “As the 1972 graduating class from Cabarrus Academy, we shared many special ‘firsts.’ But what I remember most about the days in the house were the friendships. We knew everyone in the lower grades, we met students from other towns, and we formed bonds with faculty members that exist to this day. Lockers in coat closets, lunch off-campus, parking your car across from the school and just walking across the street, your history class taking a field trip to register to vote, capping ceremony at one of the student’s homes, and a vivid memory of walking out the front door of Cabarrus Academy wearing bell bottoms thinking these were the best days ever! And I was correct.” 8 | CANNON | Winter/Spring 2020
