FROM THE BEGINNING Angola Academy 1866 Angola s first school was an old log building located near the present site of Klink s Funeral Home. The second build¬ ing was a frame one and larger than the first. It was erected near the Dr. Weicht property. In 1864 the frame building burned. Also there was the Union Seminary, a select school, located where the Hotel Hendry now stands. Later it became the public school of Pleasant township. The advance courses were given in t lie Seminary building (known as the Bee Hive) and the primary classes were held wherever rooms could be obtained. In May, 1866, a new brick building was erected where our school now stands. In the third story of this building was an audi¬ torium where plays were produced. At about this time tin students published the first school paper. In 1876, the surrounding counties sent delegations to the Angola Academy to prepare for teaching. This sug¬ gested the need of a teacher’s training school in northeastern Indiana. In 1883, the Academy was torn dow r n and the first Angola Public High School was built. However, since this building pro¬ vided no auditorium or place to give enter¬ tainments, the Alcyone Literary Society gave a number of ice cream socials to raise money to erect a stage in one of the larger rooms. School equipment in 1885 included chemical apparatus, a skeleton, a micro¬ scope, maps, globes, historical charts, and geometrical blocks. In 1905 the north wing was added. After nearly fifty years of serv¬ ice, the first Angola Public School building was torn down to make way for the present structure.

Kessler, has been secured to fill the vacancy in our mathematics department left by Mr. Harry C. Snider. Mr. Kessler is not a stranger to us, and many of the stu¬ dents could greet him the first day of school as an old friend. Our mathematics instructor has attended Muncie Normal School, and Tri-State Col¬ lege, and he holds a bachelor of arts degree in education from the University of Chicago. He has had seventeen years of teaching experience including three years in the rural schools, two years as assistant principal and five years as principal of Hamilton High School, and four years as superintendent of the high school at Edgerton, Ohio. He was a normal school instructor at Tri-State Col¬ lege for three summers and later became mathematics instructor in the engineering department of the same institution. He comes to Angola High School well ecpiippecl for his duties. His boyhood home was in Decatur, Indi¬ ana. During the past three years Mr. Kess¬ ler, his wife, and two daughters have made their home in Angola. Welcome, Mr. “0. K.” We know your initials fit you, and we hope you’ll like us. Some other world is glad to see Our star that’s gone away; The light whose going makes our night Makes somewhere else a day. Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use. MISS MARTHA YOUNG Not so very long ago, three eager chil¬ dren, who greatly enjoyed traveling with their parents, were thrilled at the thought of another trip. One of those children was none other than our new vocational home economics instructor, Miss Young. She has already visited Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Iowa, and Kentucky; she has seen Boston and New York City; she has sailed up the Potomac and Hudson; and she has traveled on Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and the Atlantic. In addition to this she intends to travel more extensively in other parts of the United States. Even though Miss Young has traveled mostly by motor, she prefers the comforts of a Pull¬ man along with the services of a porter, who will obligingly (for a certain sum) shine hopelessly grimy shoes and brush dusty clothes. Miss Young studied home economics at Ball State Teachers’ College and received the degree of bachelor of arts at the Indiana State Teachers’ College. She took graduate work at Purdue University. Miss Young has taught in her home town, Huntington, and at Fairmount. It is inter¬ esting to find that in Fairmount, Miss Young changed dull class parties into exceedingly “peppy” ones, by introducing her favorite- sport, roller skating, as a form of entertain¬ ment. Miss Young collects pictures pertaining to her work, likes to read, and is fond of high school athletics. Last, but not least, we find that she likes Angola and wishes to be¬ come better acquainted here. Let s do our best to make her wish come true!
