In 1924, our school employed four high school teachers, Since that time, the number has increased to eleven. The subjects offered high school students before 1925 were principally Mathe- matics, History, English, Latin, and Science. In 1925, Agriculture and Home Economics were introduced, and French, for academic students in 1929. During the past years, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, General Science, Farm Shop, Civics, Core 8, 9, and 10, Psychology, Physical Education, Music, Art, Band, Driver Education, General Mathe- matics, Plane Geometry, Algebra, Industrial Arts, and Problems of Democracy have been added to the curriculum. In 1929, a classroom was set apart to be used as our first school library, which consisted of only a few books; but it now includes approximately 2600 volumes. The principals of the high school since 1923 have been: W. F. MacDonald, 1923- 1925; Ralph Webster, 1925-1927; J. Edwane Ford, 1927-1929; W. Day Mullinix, 1929- 1935; Frank J. Getty, 1935-1946; Marshall G. Brown, 1946-. GRANTSVILLE P. T. A. During the school year of 1947-1948, Grantsville School had a Parent-Teacher Association for the first time in several years. During the last part of the school year, 1946-1947, a Band Boosters’ Club was organized which met monthly. This organization provided moral and material support to the school band and provided a nucleus around which the P. T. A. was organized. The Band Boosters’ Club and the P. T. A. now meet as a combined organization every other month. The first meeting was held on October 11, 1947. The P. T. A. was then organized and the following officers were elected: President, Mr. C. O. Bender; Vice-President, Mrs. Harry Yommer; and Secretary, Mrs. Roy Mickey. The following officers were elected for the school year, 1948, 1949; President, Mr. Harold Miller; Vice-President, Mr. William Biddington; and Secretary, Mrs. Roy Mickey. The enthusiasm with which the community responded to the newly organized P. T. A., as manifested by the attendance of patrons from all sections of the school com- munity, exceeded the fondest expectations of all concerned. The P. T. A. has beena most excellent device by which the parents could learn about their school, and alsoa medium by which the school could be interpreted to the parents. We are looking forward to a continuance of the excellent work that has been so well begun.
