This 1968 Swain County High School senior class photograph was taken in front of the United States Capitol building in Washington D.C. The panoramic photograph, taken by Central Photograph Company, includes their signature style, a “runner” who appears in the image twice. In this photograph, Reggie High is the runner. Each year from as early as 1953 until about 2015, Swain County seniors took a trip from Bryson City, North Carolina to the District of Columbia with high school teachers as their chaperones.
