Administration TU THE STUDENTS May | congratulate you for having the good fortune to be attending the Lexington High School of today instead of the original high school that was opened one hundred years ago. When the twenty boys and ten girls ‘‘climbed the winding stairs to the upper chamber in the town hall’ on the first day of the new high school in September 1854, they entered a room the size of one of our classrooms today, lighted only from one end and having blackboards on the other three walls. Three rows of double desks faced the platform on which stood the teacher’s table. In that one room the teacher-prin- cipal heard the pupils ‘recite’ their lessons, fi rst this group, then that, while those not reciting ‘’studied” Latin, French, history, rhetoric, a little natural science, and a good deal of mathematics and English grammar. Young people who did not take to these studies did not go to high school; they went to work, Since that time the comforts and convenience of living have increased a hundredfold and the opportunities and equipment of your high school have increased in proportion. Compare the conditions of living in those days with those of today; compare that little room and the limited opportu- nities of that first school with your new building and the variety of courses you have now. It has truly been a Century of Progress and you are indeed fortunate to be a student in Lexington High School today instead of one hundred years ago. IND a et [5] Manfred L. Warren, Principal
