HISTURH UFPJUHIUR HIGH The history of Junitr High began mme Ola om semi. This was the first school that the seventh to the ninth grades attended. -After a fewyears and as the town of Independence grew larger the students were moved to the Central high school. The high school students then moved into Wiliam Chrisman which had been built. During this time Mr. A. C. Morris was the principals -of the school. He was very well liked and helped the students very much. Mmliorris was principal for nearly sixteen years. After Independence grew even more, a new building was erected inl925. This building cost 3150,000 and was well equipped for the pupils and -teachers. This building has about thirty rooms and the principal's office. Mr. Blevins Davis, the second principal, held the position for only one year. He resigned his position for one with the Yale School of Drama. His successor, Mr. Marshall Miller, has held the office for six successful years., In the monthof February, 1959, a fire broke out in the old building-late in the night. Although many firemen and much fire fighting equipment was on the scene, it was impos- sible to control the blaze. The old building was completely demolished. The new building, however, suffered very little damage due to a fire door which separated the two parts. A new piano and much equipment was destroyed. Also the library building was destroyed but many of the books were savedf After the ,fire the seventh and eighth grades wcmt only a half day but the ninth grade attended full sessions. This was not very satisfactory but sufficed until the completion of the new wing of the building. Work on it was begun in 19593 it was ready for occupancy in the fall of l940. The build- ing cost 290,000 and is very beautiful and modern. The build- ing has twelve new rooms among which are a large study hall and the cafeteria. Each of the rooms is well equipped and makes for pleasant associations.
