::::1-4IliDl2lrI::1-4: : '1 Brief History of Taylorville Township High School The establishment of the Taylorville Township High School was authorized by a vote of the people ill April, 1890, in accordance with the provisions of the school law. During the year of its inauguration a modern building was erected on the campus near the central part of the city of Taylorville. In 1914, as the original building had becolne inadequate, due to the ill- 4-reased enrollment, an addition, larger than the original building, was added and was first used in September, 1914. The two buildings were united on all three floors, thus giving the appearance of a single unit. In the summer of 1921, a separate gymnasium, connected to the main build- ing, was built just east of the original building. The first basketball game was held here in December, 1921. Since that time, the gymnasium has been in almost constant use for athletics, social functions, and entertainments. The High School Board, in the summer of 1928, purchased through the Hauer and Bancroft Realty Firm, a tract of thirty acres ill the northwest part of town. Un this tract a football field has been laid out, a cinder track con- structed, baseball diamonds built, and experimental work will be carried on here by the agricultural department. There is plenty of room for the erec- tion of a new high school building, when the time comes, to keep pace with the progressive steps of the board of education to give to the city of Taylorvillc the best possible facilities for education. Wlit-11 the first term of school opened on Monday, September 7, 1891, the enrollment was ninety-five, which has increased until now, in 1931. there are almost six hundred students enrolled. The faculty has increased from three to twenty-six members. S1-renlt 1
