MGUNDSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL I hold Education to be an organic necessity of a human being. -Horace Mann. The High School is a milestone in the course of Higher Civilization. As man 's intellect has progressed from that of the savage to that of the mod- ern scholar, there has necessarily been a standard of judgment. In the Stone Age, man required little knowledge. maintenance was easy, but today, with c crowding population, man has had to struggle to support himself. And this struggle has been good for man, for he has- had to use his faculties of thought. So today we have the standards -of civi- lization of a people, measured by their schools, of which the high school plays, perhaps, the most important part. M-oundsville High School was founded by some of the better minds of this city in 1873. Its beginning was very modest, having but a few students enrolled for several years. In 1887, graduated the first class of M. H. S., seven in number. Of this original class, one or two are yet living. So, to this day, has M. H. S., been carry- ing on, graduating in those forty-five years, tive hundred and eighty stud- ents. - In this function, Moundsville High School has been doing a wonderful Work. Without great pomp and dis- play, performing in a peaceful manner it has furnished five hundred and eighty real, socialized citizens! The High School had its birth in the old building which preceded the one now used as the Central School in 1877. When the Central Ward .Building was tbuilt, it moved its home to the second floor of this building. Here, there was plenty of room for the crowded school. More classes were added, new teachers hired. In 1919, a third move was made to the present location on .Tomlinson Ave. In this new spacious building, there was adequate room for ,only one year. Now there are over four hundred students in the building, affording crowded conditions. Wlieii the move was made in 1919, two new popular courses were added-Domestic Science, and Manual Training. A word of commendation is here due to our teachers, past and present. Moundsville High School has always had the pleasure of having good teach- ers-teacher specialists in their lines. These patient, helpful souls gave and are giving themselves for the Cause of Education. Many of them have pour- ed out themselves in honest endeavor. Oftimes they accepted a teaching posi- tion at a very low wage, even lower than crude manual labor was receiving. It was clearly a case of self-sacrifice. Possibly their only reward in this world, will be in seeing great victories of their former students, in hearing of great accomplishments they have made. One is not only influenced by M. H. for the four years of school. The parental affection received there, goes hand in hand with the Alumnus, along life 's pathway. The relation between the Alumnus and the Alma Mater is ev- er keen, ever noble. People of Moundsville, realize your duty to the school and its duty to us. Recognize the school not as so much cement and stone, but recognize the soul of the school as it goes marvliiiig on, ever blazing bright, as a great search-light, lighting the way toward Truth.
