Prior to 1880, General A.V. Rice began developing a village named Maurice City, in honor of his daughter Mary Rice, and arranged with George Skinner to plat the town in 1886. Maurice City was incorporated on March 22, 1888, and the name was changed to Continental in 1899. This change marked the beginning of the Continental (Maurice City) Village School District, established legally in 1888. Prior to 1888, the only school district which included Continental was the township sutvdis-trict established by the Township Board of Education. In 1888, a petition was circulated and an election held for the purpose of making a Village District. In 1890, a beautiful brick building was erected by Jacob Spiker and stood on the comer of Fifth and Ash Streets. This building contained twelve rooms housing the Elementary Grades, and Junior and Senior High Schools. In 1910, the old building was improved by an addition to the north wing and further improvement was made in 1923 when the old building was completely remodeled, adding two large Study Halls, three classrooms and an auditorium-gymnasium. On February 9, 1929, shortly before midnight, a Fire was discovered in the school. The Fire started in a paper chute where waste paper was thrown and when they burned the paper, it caught Fire in the chute. Following the fire, school was held in the rooms above Doc's Hardware, in churches, and in empty buildings. The classes were grouped by grades. The juniors and seniors were in a room together, while the freshmen and sophomores had a room to themselves. Each student had a desk, but there were no lockers. There was a cloakroom in the back or near every room. As the building was covered by adequate insurance, the people voted a bond issue of $65,000 and this, together with the insurance, enabled the local board to start erection of a new school building in 1929. Completed in 1930, this new school was made up of 3 floors, and a gym-auditorium combination. !• i s' ■ i t IN THE BEGINNING . . . 2
