x Since 1880 the Huron School System has grown from a one-room school with fifteen pupils to a complex organization with many JweII-equipped buildings and a professional staff teaching a great variety of required and K elective subjects and sponsoring many stu- : dent activities. A supportive citizenry has made it possible for thousands of pupils in the Huron Independent school District to receive scholastic and extracurricular preparation for adult life. The 1986 senior class can deservedly be proud to be the one hunqredth class to graduate from Huron's excellent education system. 24 Credits Ardis Brown William S.
