North Liberty High School: The Shamrocks, and a Closing Nobody Dated

to c. 1981

North Liberty's teams were the Shamrocks, rivals of the John Glenn Falcons until the schools merged; the high school's exact closing year and last graduating class are carried by no source read first-hand. The identity is carried by the school histories reached: North Liberty's teams were the Shamrocks, and John Glenn's Falcons were "formerly rivals with the North Liberty Shamrocks; however, this rivalry ended after the two schools merged." The conference record, at snippet strength, runs the school's affiliations: a member of the Northern Indiana Valley Conference from 1932 to 1966, then of the Northern State Conference from 1966, leaving it in 1981 — "none (consolidated into Glenn)." What the record makes plain is what North Liberty High School was not: it was not part of the earlier PLJ consolidation. When the Polk-Lincoln-Johnson board voted on 31 August 1965 to combine its two high schools, North Liberty was a separate unit and merged later; the Shamrocks were still fielding teams in the mid-1970s. The closing of the high school and the first year North Liberty students attended John Glenn High School in Walkerton ride with the corporation merger carried in the next articles — 1981 at conference-table strength, "early 1980s" in a publisher's summary of the standard local pictorial history — and no carrier read first-hand gives the exact year, the last graduating class, or the first. The school's first graduating class and first commencements are likewise carried by no source reached, and the fate of its building — standing, demolished, or reused — is stated in no carrier reached. All three bank as named gaps (G-SC-3, with G-SC-2); commencement programmes and yearbooks, the town newspaper's archive, and the corporation's minutes are the settlers.
