In 1952, Buddy Holly met Bob Montgomery when they both attended this junior high. Forming the duo "Buddy & Bob", the two played bluegrass-influenced performances and quickly became a local act at local clubs and high school talent shows.
Although they parted ways professionally in 1956 when Holly formed the Crickets, Bob Montgomery went on as a songwriter. He wrote the song "Back in Baby's Arms" for Patsy Cline.
