-60 Because of the crowded conditions, a one story frame building-was'eracted'for-theghigh schdol ihal91O. HThis building was later occupied by-the:seventh andiaighd grades, and still later by the sixth.E It is now used QS the band Q room. ' . , - - If Q 1 Aj 1 I . I j1.- ' About the year 1912, the ttwnship schools began to be ' centralized, necessitating a new building, which was erect- ed in 1914, Mr. J. L. Fortney, then Superintendent of the Township Schools, was instrumental in securing the erection of the new building, and in making the school a first grade high school. T . . :,f , , . Due to the efforts of several interestedgpatrons, a large Community House was erected on the school ground in 1922. The Community House was originally a Knights of Col- umbus Auditorium at Camp Sherman.s A group of local citizens signed a note to purchase the building at 3200 and to erect it on the school grounds. Many men volunteered their ser- vices, took the building apart in sections, then hauled it to Clarksburg. There were thirty-nine wagon loads and four truck loads of material. Mr. Thomas Rittenhouse was the carpenter in charge of the erection. This building has been used for all the basketball games, class plays, commencement exercises, and for many literary and musical programs. It was one of the first basketball courts in Ross County. In 1955 bonds for 350,100 were voted for the erection t of the new high school building. The government through the Public Works Administration granted S12,100, making the total cost Q42,200, - On May 22, 1956 the capstone was laid.above the mains entrance. Behind this stone a large copper box was placed containing pictures, records, papers, school robl, and many other interesting articles. The bog was sealed with solder. This new high school building was occupied November 50, 1956. ,, ' While we as yet have no up-to-date gymnasium-auditor- ium, plans are under way for procuring one, and we live in hopes. ' With the substantial aid of the Garden Club, the Board of Education this April sodded the yard in front of the three buildings, Shrubbery was purchased at no little ex- pense, and an expert was employed to lay out the,plans. The' result is one of the most attractive school lawns in Ross County. The situation of the buildings, the hardy maples, the gentle slope of the yard, all give an almost ideal set- ting for any school. Due recognition of their valuable services and sincere appreciation of the same is.given here to the Garden Club for their share in making this school one of the most at- tractive in this section of the country.
