One hundred years ago it was impossible for everyone to receive a good education. From the first private seminary in the west end of La I-Iarpe to the school we have today has been a long hard road. The first school in La Harpe was taught in a blacksmith shop by a Miss Mary Loomis, who boarded with her pupils. The first school house was built in the early forties and is still standing---the old Catholic Church where Bill Bradshaw now lives. The Academy was built in 1858 by private enterprise and was replaced in 1899, and again in 1928. Another school building, the Seminary, was built in 1875 in the southwest part of the city. This building was set on fire and burned to the ground in 1889. The burning of the Seminary was a hard blow to the town but by liberal subscriptions the Methodist Conference Board was able to rebuild the building. With this annual we would also like to pay tribute to Miss Jenny Hillier, the oldest living graduate of La Harpe High School. Since her graduation there have been many changes in educational facilities and processes. How different it must have been---and the staff agrees that even though those were the good old days, they are going to be happy to remember our good old days, z 8- .
