i E. H. H. S. AST HUNTINGDON High Sch-ool has the honor of being the b b N oldest rural high school in the state of Pennsylvania. lt had its E origin in a one year course, held in the grade building at Alver- ton, two years 'before the erection of the present building. ln 1900 the high school building was completed on the grounds of the old Mennonite Church at Alverton. The course was then lengthened to two years with two instructors. Later the course was extended to three years with three instructors. Still later as the num- ber of pupils increased and the curriculum was extended to meet the re- quirements of a first class high school, the course was extended to its present length of four years with four instructors. More than hve hundred have entered the high school but of this number but approximately two hundred and twenty have been graduated. From the number of graduates a large percentage has continued in higher education and the citizens can look with pride upon some of the graduates of its school. The steady growth of the school in the last few years and the out look for the coming year, point to the fact that the four walls of this old building are no longer large enough to accommodate, in a comfortable and satisfactory manner, the -students. Something must the done to satisfy the needs of the students both in the way of proper housing and in courses to ht them for future citizens of this district. lu' ill If ' ' 'x '- lx 'f' '- f ri qu gb ,i 'ff '9 , WAS - V 41'- l
