1935 THE Q-AUSTINIAN SECOND Row: Banncltl, Neveln, Crane, Aldersnn FIRST ROW: Bergman, French, Daigneau, Decker Board of Education R. P. CRANE E. C. BANFIELD S. T. NEVELN President Treasurer Superintendent RALPH DAIGNEAU C, H. DECKER Director Director LAFAYETTE FRENCH W. I. BERGMAN R. C. ALDERsoN Director Director Clerk HE Board of Education consisting of eight members, the president, treas- urer, superintendent, four directors, and a clerk, has been directly responsi- ble for Austin's present public school system and the progress attained by it. Recognition is due them for their interest in the six grade school buildings and the million dollar high school building, for their foresight in maintaining the excellent standard of the curriculum of the school, and in pro- viding such departmental courses as will be the most benefiting factors in aid- ing the students of Austin High School to become more Worth citizens of the community.

N l870 the first high school was com- pleted on the present site of the Frank- lin School. The superintendent at that time was Horace L. Strong who served until 1874. The total cost of the building was 335,000 lt is interesting to note that the brick used in the million dollar high school was manufactured in Austin and the stone was shipped from Faribault. In 1884, when the population of Austin was Z,500, there were ten teachers and a superintendent employed in the school. H. L. Gibson was superintendent during that year. There were two members of the iirst graduating class in 1877 while there are approximate- ly one hundred eighty students in the 1935 graduating class.

THE UQUSTINIAN 1935 IlllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllll I Ill Superintendent P gc tcn S. T. NEVEl.N nnlnlinmnunninunmnunumnnn tnnnnnmnnn This year We observe the three hundredth anni- versary of the founding of high schools in America. The American people have certain deepseated aspirations relative to secondary schools. First of these is the custody of their children as they develop into manhood and Womanhood. With economic conditions today barring young people from em- ployment and giving a consequent freedom of activi- ty, the high school must assume a responsibility for character building. Secondly, parents rightly feel that the secondary school must be modified so as to fit young people more definitely to take up some useful occupation. Also, in the classroom of America, hundreds of im- portant and controversial questions in economics, sociology, and politics must be presented and analyzed. -S. T. Neveln
