Election in the year nine- teen hundred fourteen, created the school. The present main building was built in the year of nineteen hundred and twenty. As an addi- tion, in the year of nineteen hundred thirty-one, the west-wing gym- nasium was erected.. The farm shop, occupying the east end of the campus, under the supervision of the Agricultural Department was constructed in the year nineteen hundred forty-four. During the first of January, 1945, an election to vote in parts of surrounding townships was held. This included parts of Gold, Fair- field and Greenville Townships. This election, of which we are very well satisfied, was carried by a large majority. Our courses of Languages, Mathematics, 'Social Science, Biologi- cal Science, Commerce, Home'Economics, Vocational Agriculture and Music are introduced and taught by a faculty of seven instructors. Especially recognized by the state, is our Home Economics room. The agricultural department is also unique. I Band and chorusesoare also organized and these courses are open to any who care to enter.
