1-iglovy ...f M. Q. H. 3. The Mahomet Community High School, District 303, was organ- ized in the September election of 1919. The grade school building was used until September, 1921, while the high school building was being constructed. The high school was not completed until 1922. The south wing of the building was to be the assembly, the upper part of the north wing was to be the gym, and the lower part of the north wing was to be a swimming pool, The boys were so badly in need of a place to practice that the labor put in the gym floor was donated. The stage was in the west end of the gym, the assembly was in the present picture room until the peach tree was removed from the center of the north wing and the auditorium and community room were finished in 1937. The principals of M. C. H. S. since its organization have been as follows: J. T. Dodson, E. M. Deem, P. F. Parrott, J. J. Miner, C. C. Ambrose, J. D. Price, W. C. Coe, E. V. Price, K. L. Massanari, L. J. Gnagey, and W. P. McElroy. The Mahomet High School has continually been accredited with the U. of I. has been recognized by the State Department of Pub-1 lic Instruction. In 1925, it became accredited with the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and has maintained standards necessary for such accrediting since that time. In 1948, Mahomet, Seymour, Bondville, and South Prairie were consolidated into Unit No. 3. This consolidation has enlarged the faculty, students, number of buses, and has offered a wider variety of courses for the students.
