Historical metry, German, Latin, Greek, Chemistry and As- tronomy. At first only two rooms on each floor of the new building were used, and for a number of years the janitor lived in the building. In these early days, and until 1903, the Board of Education consisted of twelve members. This first graduating class of 77 contained five mem- bers and the exercises were held in the old Union Hall. Since then there have been thirty-three graduating classes. With the growth of the town the “new” building became filled to overflowing, and two small one-room ward school houses were built. In the early part of the “nineties” a commo- dious seven-room building was erected on the square with the main or “High School” edifice, at a cost of $11,000. In 1904 the little district school type of the Second ward building was replaced by a nice two-room structure, and the next spring our Board of Education voted to build a First ward building similar to that of the Second ward, at a cost not to exceed $4,500. The growth of our school system has not been strikingly different from that of the average town. From the foundations, well laid by our “educational pioneers,” there has grown steadily under the watch- ful care of the able men who have supervised it, of the teachers who have served it well, and of the community which has been sensitive to its needs, an institution of which we believe we are justly proud. This product of the devotion of over a half century, today stands high among the schools of the state and influences mightily our little city and community.
