As one of the earlier members ot' the Ilagerstown High School alunmi it has been assigned, me to present a brief sketch or history of the growth ol' our l'ubliv School. dating' bark for almost a half century. My memory ealls me bark to the time, 47 years ago, when as a little expectant youngster plodding' my way up the hill to enter sehool for the tirst time. The sw-hool buildina. a mueh smaller structure, stood immediately north of the one whit-h you and I entered so many times for so many years sinee. This building' was of brielc, two rooms on the tirst floor, and two which eouhl be thrown into one room upstairs. I, of course, entered what then was ealled the Chart Vlass-now the Pri- mary. Vlle were seated with our bar-ks to the wall, desk at our side with a primitive pigeon hole beneath for our slate and peueils. Our Primary teaeher was Miss Sarah XVilliams: other teaehers as near as I eau reeall for about this time were Miss Rebeeea Castator, Miss Nannie Knode. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Mathers. Teachers in those days had Very little professional traininu' outside of what experience they obtained in the elass-room. l am quite sure the Class work was presented in a very dift'erent way to the way found in the class room today. We had very eonseientious and hard working teachers in those days. You must remember the pupils of that time are filling' the responsible positions of the world life of today.
