THE HISTORY OF HANCOCK HIGH In 1919, the colorful history of Han- cock High began with the addition to the building which is known as Ward Il. The Comnercial Department was in a smallroom in the front part of the building, on the top floor. Typewriters were put inua cloak room and that was called the typing room. 'A few of the high school teachers at that time were Miss Walker, Miss Brown- ing, and Miss Robertson. The first super- intendent, was Mr. Ben C. Milster, and the first principal was Miss Annie Walker. 'lhere wasn' t any library, no encyclopedias, and just a few books that the students do- nated. 'As there was no gym, several stu- dents erected a few baskets for basketball in what was called Dmrn' s Park. 'At that time the only sport was baseball, Hancock, Eureka, and Valley Park participated. 'llle only ball fieldwaslocatedfeon an 8IlPtY7.'19P'. in the vicinity of the present high school In 1925 and 1926, the Junior High build- ing was erected and was then used as a high school. It had the only gym and aud- itorium in Lemay. The first person to graduate from the high school was Laura Dxebelbeis in 1923. In 1924 there were four graduates and as the years went on the classes steadily in- creased. The high school building was constructed as a WP IA project in 1934. 'lhe enroll- ment was approximately IDO. 'A short time after the building was completed and plans were made to erect an athletic field with bleacher space, which was completed in 19 38 . In January, 1952, the addition to the high school was completed, and the cafe- teria was put into operation. Hancock High, now a AAA school, re- quired l7 credits to graduate. We now Offer 55 courses to the present enrollment of 42 at Hancock. This year 92 seniors will graduate.
