f' I We To You, Our Boys I To you, our boys, we'll sing today Our little song of cheer, We'll march right on to victory And make our pathway clear. Cheering you to win the game, Come on, and show them how: So let's put spirit in the iight And cheer for them right now. CHORUS Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, Our cheers for the H. H. S. It's the one school, and lt's the dearest, The school we love the best. So then, let us pep up g Come on boys, let's win For the best, best school in all the nation- Our Cheers for the H. H. S. II Let us be loyal sons and true, And triumph in 1ife's game, Uphold the fame of H. H. S., Add glory to her name. When wider fields present thelr view And harder tasks appear, Let Red and Black shine forth anew, Our happy course to steer. III We stand for knowledge, truth and power, Her glorious name to bless, May no dark stain, not for an hour Make her great honor less. May noble sons and daughters true Make history pages shine, And Red and Black in brightest hue With memory intertwine. -Pauline Broughton '23 MODULUS 6

1873-1938 Hun'ington County's first school bell was heard in the winter of 1834. Only four fam- ilies made their homes in the muddy little trading post that grew up to be Huntington when W.lliam Delvin, young Irish surveyor, establshed the first school. Jonathan Ke ler. owner of the log tavern that stood near the present Cloverleaf Creamery. gave his best room for use as a classroom. One year later. a log schoolhouse was crected on the lot opposite the police sta- tion, where a service station stands now. Thls one room building, serving also as Court House, was the humble beginning of the fehonl system that gives us the H. H. S. of 1938. The history of Huntington High School, itself, begins in 1873. In that year, the Hunt- ington city school was transferred from the Rock House. where the City Library stands now, to a new brick building at thc corner of Tipton and Jefferson streets, and seven pupils enrolled for advanced, or high school, work. Despite this small enrollment, the school had a principal, Allen Moore, inde- pendent of the graded school with which it Administration . SCHOOL BOARD Mrs. Grace Grass. Homer Buzzard, C. E. Byers, J. L. Brenn. MODULUS 8 shared the bulding. The program for 1873 students included nearly everything studied by 1938 students with the addition of astron- omy, moral philosophy, and mental science. In 1877, four of the original pupils graduated. Since that year, 3,649 graduates have won their diplomas here. H. H. S. didn't attain a building of its own until 1891. At that time, the first high school building was completed, just south of the old building, that was already known as Central School. The enrollment had mount- ed to 95 pupils, but the new school was planned to take care of about 300 students. When this building was last used in 1918, the enrollment totaled 463. The following year, 519 triumphant students took pomession of the new brick building on Guilford Street. Enrollment for 1938 amounted to 842. Of those students, 146 will leave H. H. S. as graduates this spring. Their memories of to- day will be the histories of other issues of The Modulus, and may those histories record a future of Huntington High School asllong and distinguished as its past. MRS.
