ST An HESS ACC We, the Corrian Staff, are presenting this book with the purpose in mind of recording and preserving as completely as possible the events of the school year of 1938-39. We hope in the years to come you will look again within this Corrian and find food for thoughts and memories. If you find as much pleasure in reading this book as we have had in making it. we, the Staff, shall be satisfied. The theme of our book is the history of our city. In this city of Corry, generations of honest, stalwart citizens have lived—citizens who have done much to establish the age of progress which we live in and enjoy. Typical city that it is—the study of the history of Corry parallels the steps in the growth of the nation. For these reasons we choose the history of the City of Corry as our theme.

“ 'Tis Education forms the common mind. —Pope Corry High School was built during the years 1898 and 1899. Originally it housed four classes, Freshman. Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. The auditorium had a seating capacity of six hundred, and the study hall accomodated two hundred students. The offices for the Board of Education, Superintendent of Schools, and the Public Library were also included in the building. Students were given the opportunity to enroll in one of three courses, known at that time as classical, scientific. and commercial. Since 1923, however, when the Junior High School was built, Corry High School has been known as the Senior High School. Only three regular classes—Sophomore, Junior, and Senior—attend the building, while several students in recent years attend as post-graduates. Four courses are now open to students: College Preparatory, Industrial, Commercial, and General. Because of over-crowded conditions many changes have been made in the building which no longer houses the Public Library or offices of Superintendent and Board of Education. In the summer of 1938, Corry Senior High School received a magnificent gift from Mrs. Jason Smith who donated an electric three-faced clock in memory of her husband. This clock is equipped with hour and half hour strikes, ringing the time of day on the hour and once on the half hour. It is synchronized to a master clock, in the main hall, which rings all passing and tardy bells of the school. The dials of the Tower Clock, which may be lit up at night, are six feet in diameter. The clock was installed by a graduate of Corry High. To date 1,917 graduates have passed through the doors of Corry High School which serves the purpose of higher education in the city of Corry. cccur senhor men K I i i I I I 1 l « i - (8
