History of Hart High School THOUGH we do not entirely agree with the Darwinian theory of evolution, we do know that in the past thirty-five years the evolution of old Hart High has been very pronounced. Let us forget the fifteen hundred people in this little town of ours and go back thirty-five years to the time when the inhabitants numbered less than one thousand. Let us also forget the six hundred school children in our wonderful building and see the one hundred and fifty scholars of that time studying diligently in the frame buildings which were situated on the southwest corner of ihe present school ground. There were two buildings then. The primary department was in the smaller and the intermediate and high school in the larger. Both were hard to heat and very inefficient even for that time. But Hart was even then a progressive town and seeing the need for a better structure, built a six room brick building which is the front portion of our present High School. This was completed in 1892. In 1893, when they went into the new building, the two frame buildings were sold. The large one went to Mr. Corbin for a warehouse. This burned in 1897. The smaller was sold to Mr. Hiram Crowner who remodeled it and is now living in it in its present situation on Water Street. As the school attendance increased it became necessary to add to the school building, so in 1902 the first addition was made. It contained five rooms. In 1912 the last addition, or as we say, the new building was added. It contains the auditorium, the High School assembly room and six other rooms. It makes the beauty of our school house complete. We are all proud to state that Hart has one of the best schools for a town of its size in Michigan and to our parents and the citizens of Hart the praise is due, because from then-progressive hearts and minds came the Hart High as it now is. We are also proud to state that our town has progressed in other things proportionally. Evalyn Whalley
