We are very thankful for what all the •ohool board and people of Carter oounty hare done to wake this one of the beat schools pos- sible.

Members of the board are: Vernon Silvis» ohalrnan; Frances Bohulti, secretary; Walter Anderson, William Lambert, Mrs. Eva K. Butcher, Mrs. Vivian Castleberry, and Walter J. Buyer. The high school history of Carter county be- gan in the year 1909. In that year the first high school work was added to the intermediate course. The school at that tine consisted of three departments, Miss Luoy Markin having charge of the first three grades, Mrs. 8. A. Holt the seventh, eighth and ninth. There were but two boys enrolled in the ninth grade that year, and the oourse consisted of English com- position, algebra, and anolent history. Mrs. DeLoss Hall is the only remaining per- son of the board of that time. On October 16, 1920 when the board met for its regular meeting they donated all the equip- ment and building of Dletrlot No. 15 to darter oounty high school. The building known as the old high school was built for the Distrlot in 1921. In 1926 Mr. Rowley began to teach the grade school and was given the responsibility of be - lng Principal in 1928. When the old building was completed it was the beginning of the first public sohools in Ekalaka and the last of the District oontrol. Mr. Rowley became the high sohool principal in the fall of 1934. The old building was •till in use, and there were only 86 students and 12 graduates that year. On October 30, 1937 a oontract was 1st for the construction of the building we now occupy. The work began immediately with Mr. Boesplug as contractor, and on July 6, 1938 the building was proclaimed to be finished at a total oost of 69,271.67. Carter county high school opened at the new building in September, 1938 with W. 0. Rowley Principal, and the olass of 1939 with 21 members was the first to graduate from it.
