Adams, Williarii Pitt Potter succeeding Mr. Thompson as principal. The school continued under this arrangement with very frequent changes of principals until in 1865 A. D. Miner assumed control of the school, which was then at an exceedingly low ebb. Mr. Miner in one of his reports states that when he accepted the principalship the school was in a hlanguisliing condition. There was Very little or no local pride in the success of the institution. All discipline among the pupils had long since departed. In 1866, the board of trustees voted to let the academy property to the town of Adams with the right and privilege of taking down the old building, regrading the lot and erecting a new building thereon for school pur- poses, and in 1867 the old building was torn down, the hill cut down seventeen feet and the present edifice erected at a cost of about ifQ6o,ooo. Later the annex was built at a cost of fl2,000. Under the management of Mr. Miner, the school at once assumed a cheerful aspect. The first formal graduation occured in 1572, the graduating class consisting of one young lady, Miss Gustena A. Benton, now Mrs. H. E. Wetherbee. From then until the present time the quality of work done has rapidly and continually improved and the number of students increased. The largest class graduating was that of '97 which numbered twenty-seven: but nearly double that number of students aie expected to graduate this year. In 1891 Mr. Miner was succeeded as superintendent by Mrs. Dewey, and Charles Spaulding connnenced his duties as principal of the high school. In 1895 Dr. H. H. Gadsby became principal. Drury is at the present time in a most prosperous and flourishing condition. The number of students has increased so rapidly that the academy building is already overcrowded and a new building must soon be provided. 9
