When the first school opened in 1871, Mrs. Ann Wingfield was the sole teacher of the entire school, which offered only grade subjects. In 1896, the faculty numbered four teachers and a principal, all of whom taught elementary subjects. In 1921, the high school faculty consisted of seven teachers, and the grade school teachers numbered eight. Now, in 1946, we have an efficient staff of twenty high school teachers and seventeen grade school teachers who guide us along the paths of knowledge. Seven
