THE MEDLEY ment of students had steadily increased, it became necessary to use the anti- quated style of double seats in the assembly room. Our three present courses, College Preparatory, Commercial and Scientific were introduced. 1912 marked the advent of many new ideas and improvements. The graduating class, sixty-two in number, was the largest in the history of the school, and the first one to use the gray cap and gown and to leave a class memorial in the shape of a massive oak desk which replaced the one that had served so many generations in the assembly room. U The Pearson prize was inaugurated, it being offered to that student who represented best in the Senior class, the product of the modern high school. Northcott Thomas has the distinction of being the first one to have the honor. In the fall of 1912, Mr. A. W. Smalley came among us as principal from Ann Arbor. At the same time the number of the faculty Was increased to eighteen, six of whom now occupy rooms in the Washington building. The courses of study have been increased until we have at present a good busi- ness course in shorthand and typewriting. The high school in its entire forty-three years of existence has had many difficulties to overcome, but it has persevered and triumphed. It has risen into prominence in every field possible. In Literary and Musical fields, it has had a share. Throughout the earlier years, the high school kept things lively by contests which were held in the leading churches. For a number of years, besides County, Eastern Illionis and State con- tests, we have had special prizes for essays, one conducted by the D. A. R. on an historical subject, and the other by a friend of the high school on an assigned topic, altogether, doing much to raise the standard of writing and spelling. g J. K. F., '13. 12
