I CEltrnnir1r nf A. ij. Sv. The Anderson High School had its origin in a brick building erected to take the place of the county seminary which burned in 1856. It was built on the present site of the Main Street School, the ground being donated by Newell Williams and Andrew .lackson. In 1876 the school had an enrollment of thirty- one students and three teachers. including the principal and superintendent. The same year the graduating class consisted of four girls. l'n 1888, the school was moved to the old Opera House on Eighth Street. This change was mad-e to make possible the erec- tion of the present Main Street School. When completed the high school was re-established there. This place was not destined to be the permanent home of Anderson High School, for in 1890 the school was moved to the old Lincoln building which burned in 1900. It was located where the present Lincoln building stands. In 1898. the Horace Mann Grammar School was erected beside the Lincoln btuilding to accomodate the increasing nmnber of students. This building is now known as the .lunior High School. The present high school building was erected in 1910. It was partly destroyed by fire Jamiarx' 25, 19123. The building suffered a similar fate, March 20, 1922. when the Art lJt!lJ2lll.lllCI1i was practically destroyed by fire. At present, the high school has an enrollment of 1303, more than double the number enrolled in the high school and grade schools combined in 1873. This year's graduating class consists of 135 students. 12

My aint is to develop them into the future leaders of our destiniesg men and women who will stand out as noble -in thought, -in word, in act, in the eyes of their fellowrneng as citizens of the fairest land, whose liberty and freedom they enjoy and venerate, and to whose eternal existence they have pledged all. I If, in the end, when they have bade farewell to my realm, they can thus go out into the world to ta-ke their place among those whose lives are dedicated to the ser- vice of mankind, my rnission will have been fulfilled. To bring to their hearts and minds the realization that this alone will bring them true happiness, is the justification for my existence. 14
