In, 1916 the citizens of the Township of Libertyville voted to establish the Libertyville Township High School and elected the following people to the Board of Education: Mr. R. B. Swift, President, Mr. William Preston, Secretary, Mr. Charles H. Averill, Mr. J. S. Duba, and Mr. Xyilllillll Zersen. This Board put forth every effort in building and organizing the new school, and achieved much. Since that time there have been several changes in the membership of the Board. Mrs. Grace Gridley was elected in 1918 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Preston, and served until 1921. Mrs. Daisy E. Morse was then elected and served until 1924. The Board for the school year of 1927-28 consists of the following: Dr. L. E. Golding, who was elected in 1923, is Presidentg Mrs. Gladys Lovell, who was elected in 1921, is Secretary, together with Mrs. Linna Corlett, who was elected in 1924: Mr. I. S. Duba, who has been re-elected from time to time since 1916, and Mr. George A. Ross of Mundelein, who was elected in 1922. The Board chose hloseph N. Throgmorton in the spring of 1917 to serve as Principal. He spent the summer of that year in organizing the new school and served approximately one month after the school was in session. when he was drafted into the National Army. H. E. Underbrink was then elected to fill the vacancy and came to the school on October 4, and served until Tuesday of the last week of the school term, when he was also drafted. L. C. Ray succeeded Mr. Underbrink in 1918 and served for four years, retir- ing from the profession in Iune, 1922. Mr. Underbrink was again elected and has served the past six years. During the first year of the school, there were only seven members of the Faculty. Since that time the number has steadily increased until at present there are seventeen teachers on the staff. Along with the increase in number, here has been a gradual increase in the qualifications required of applicants for teaching positions in this school. And because of the growth in number and quality of its Faculty. it has been possible for the school to gain recognition from and affiliations with the very best and highest organizations in the country. VVhen the school was organized, plans were laid to obtain its recognition by the Department of Education of the State of Illinois. Then steps were taken to meet the requirements necessary in order to receive the proper accrediting from the University of Illinois. After both of these standards had been accomplished, the Board of Education decided to apply for mem- bership in the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. the highest educational accrediting body in the United States, which includes the states from Pennsylvania to the Rocky Mountains and from Canada to the Gulf. Full membership was obtained in 1920 and has been held con- 1928 Page eighteen
