-2- r 1906-7. Accordingly Mr. Frank J. Tracy was elected principal and Mr. W. Edwin Tomblyn, assistant. Fifty-four pupils were enrolled; six graduated. The following year with the same teachers the enrollment reached fifty- nine, the largest in the history of the school. Eleven pupils graduated at the close of the term. In 1908, Mr. J. N. Fries was elected principal, and Mr. E. W, Kenedy, assistant. The enrollment was somewhat less than it had been and no pupils were graduated, but substantial progress was made. In 1909, Mr. S. Orestes Bond was chosen as principal and Mr. Frank S. White, assistant. That year the course of study was made somewhat broader and the subject of Agriculture was given a prominent place. Among other innovations for the year was a District Agricultural Exhibit, which, with the aid of Professor Daniel W. Working and others from the West Virginia College of Agriculture, was made one of the most interesting and instructive features of the year. With the same teachers the following year which is the one just clos- ing, this feature assumed still larger proportions. This year the course of study was made more comprehensive, the study of music was introduced and a piano was purchased by the school. At the close of the year three young people received diplomas of graduation. It is, perhaps, only just to say that the character and attainment of the young people who have attended the High School, furnish abundant proof of the wisdom of the people in maintaining a DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL. 1904 CLASS OF 1908 1913 1.
