Fairbury Township High School Fairbury Township High School as it now stands was erected in 1915. The Board of Education at that time consisted of F. L. Churchill, President; W. Logan Kring, Secretary, and the other members were: J. N. Bach, L. E. Broadwell, Elmer H. Odell, Emil Keller, and Mrs. Ada P. Foster. The Building Committee included: F. L. Churchill as chairman, and L. E. Broadwell, J. N. Bach. Hewitt and Emerson were the architects and Herbert B. Krauel. general contractor. The heating and plumb- ing contractors were from the Arthur W. Murray Company. These men alone, however, could not have built such a fine structure. Their success was due to the unselfish and untiring spirit of the people of the community. Fairbury Township High School at the present time has an enrollment of over 200 students. The assembly is quite large enough to seat everyone. Also we have adequately equipped laboratories and vocational training rooms. We boast of a Chemistry ar.d Physics laboratory, a completely equipped Home Economics room, for both boys and girls, a typing room with 18 typewriters, all new either last or this year. Also our Agricultural laboratory has up-to-date methods of various seed- testing and agricultural work. In the last few years, a decided interest has been taken in music work and today we have a fully organized music department. From year to year as the classes have been graduated, each has left something behind which adds to the beauty or the convenience of the building. The first class of Seniors that was graduated, in 1915, left the Master Clock, and the class of 1916 left the secondary clocks. This Master Clock, located in the assembly, controls the bell system of the entire school. The loud speaker in the assembly was also given by one of the graduating classes and has proved a valuable asset to the school. In 1924 and 1925, the classes had the pillars erected, two at the driveway entrance and two at the walk entrance to the grounds. Scattered through the halls and classrooms are beautiful pictures that have been given by several classes. In short, Fairbury Township High School is a place from which any student, after he has taken his place in the world, should be proud to point out as the place from which he was graduated.
