Wabash High School The citizens of Wabash conscious of the inadequacy of their education- al facilities and convinced that only through proper educational advant- ages can progress come, in 1893 de- cided upon the erection of a new high school building. The work was begun in the fall of that year. On April 11, 1892 the corner stone was laid by the Indiana Grand Lodge of Masons with very impressive cere- monies, in the presence not only of the citizens but also the school child- ren of the city. On November 26 the building was ready for occupancy, and classroom work began on that date. In charge as principal was Adelaide Steele Bay- lor, whom Wabash is so proud to honor. In 1903 Miss Baylor became head of the city schools, and C. W. Knouff, who succeeded her as principal, held the position until 1908. Since that time the principalship has been held by C. H. Brady, 0. J. Neighbours, M. L. Sandifur and M. C. Darnall, who is the present incumbent. Owing to the increase in popula- tion, and the conviction on the part of the citizens that the public schools are the very foundation of our demo- cracy, the student body has far out- grown the capacity of the building. So inadequate has it become that the assembly room has had to be divided into four very incommodious class rooms, in two of which artificial light must be used during the entire day. Classes, too, are held in the basement of the library, and convocation must be held in the theatre at the sacrifice of time and money. Again the old spirit of ' 93 must be aroused, and again our citizens must be made to realize that the boys and girls of today are entitled to every educational advantage if they are to take their rightful places in this rapidly changing age. A new build- ing is the only solution to the prob- lem. Let us get behind the movement and arouse an enthusiasm that will culminate in a building suited to pre- sent day needs.
