ibuntingtun btrzet Qnbuul iguilhing The Huntington Street Building, which was erected in 1395, was used for a high school building at first, In 1399 the attendance of both the high school and the Main Street Building was 851 pupils. Although the school was not built for a high school, this was the most convenient way of having school at that time. Later a high school was built on Main street, and Huntington was used for the grade pupils. Since the building of the Harrison 'Township joint High School, the Huntington Building has been used for the lst to 7B grades, for all pupils from both city and country. The fifth and sixth grades are organized along departmental lines.

Mr. Hiram Hammer was the hrst principal and Miss Margaret Kimball assistant teacher. W'hen the town was incorporated the Board planned a new school house, so in 1379. at the cost of 53.000, a new building was erected on Main street. The attendance was about ZOO pupils, but it increased so rapidly that a new addition with two rooms was added to the old building. This addition was torn down a few years ago be- cause it was considered unsafe. The original four rooms are now used as a garage for the school busses and for the storage of school supplies. ln l903 the high school was erected on the corner of Main and Monroe and was used for high school purposes until the completion of the 'loint High School Building.
