THE HISTORY OF MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL Edited by Sylvia Holmes 25417 ;? The public school system of Malden had its origin as far back as 1665, when Malden’s first free school was established, with Ezekiel Jen¬ kins as schoolmaster. This hard-working man received only thirty shill¬ ings a year and these are the words found on his gravestone at Sandy Banks: “Mauldons Late School Master From A Painful Life Is Gone To Take His Rest His Lord Has Called Him Whome.” The first school building was erected in 1712 at the corner of the present Main and Pleasant Streets, but it was destroyed in 1730, and the interest in education lessened. However, in 1783 the town established school quarters and regular sessions were held. Malden High School was founded in 1857, when the town voted to establish a free high school. A room was provided for it in the Old Centre Grammar School which stood where Grant’s department store is now. Mr. Joseph H. Noyes, with one assistant, supervised this school of thirty-eight pupils, and the four-year course included such subjects as philosophy, physiology, botany, surveying, and astronomy as well as the “solid and substantial’’ studies. The school grew until in 1859 it occupied two rooms in the townhouse, and the course of study contained a weekly lesson on “correct French accent’’ by Monsieur P. N. Gemgembre. Soon however the facilities be¬ came inadequate because of their bad ventilation, lack of space, and near¬ ness to the lockup.
