HIGH SCHOOL IN 1896 From 1869 until 1911, the three-storied thirty-thousand-dollar white briok school-house silently vatched nany knowledge-seeking students of Greenville cOme and go. Before that tine, eight other less durable structures had stood as sentinels for education. In April of 1911 occurred the fire which badly burned the white interior of the school. . hile repairs v.ere being nade,ambitious Superintendent straight planned accomodations for regular classes elsewhere and school was resumed in three days. Since the Grange Hall wasn't large enough for all, ample use was also made of the City Hall. The Annex' , built three years before the fire, was used for an .wuditorlum and Superintendent's office. a few years later this s ctlon became the gymnasium where many hard fought games were in play up until the time it was tern down. The inadequacy of this indoor playground was realized by the townspeople, and a majority vote of the taxpayers determined its destiny. The new gym will be comoleted some time in the fall of next year. In the two decades since 1916, the enrollment has been nearly doubled, and if knowledge increases as rapidly, Greenville ought to make itself known for mental as well as material developement. 4
