CLASS POEM At last the day of triumph has come For the class of forty-four Gathering our papers, books, and pens We pass serenely out the door. Our thoughts are turned to the future, But we pause for a last ling'ring view Of that dear old gracious building Where our fund of knowledge grew. Turning again and pressing forward, We leave our memoirs behind, Thinking now only of the future And the goals that we hope to find. With simple faith, hope, and trust, Vntired knowledge and lusty thoughts of living We step into an unmapped future, Much received, and now much giving. -Virginia Pfost

MARCELLUS HIGH SCHOOL In 1873. District No. 9 was organized and a one story brick building was erected. In 1876, a second story was added. In 1879, because of the great increase in stu- dents, they were compelled to use the Schaffer and Centennial Halls as recitation rooms. As a result the present old building was erected. Before this the course of study did not go beyond the grammer grades, and it was not until 1889 that the first students were graduated from the Marcellus High School. It was then necessary to add a large addition to the school building which con- tained an auditorium, recitation rooms, a domestic science room, and a chemical laboratory. In December of 1938, the erection of a new building was started. The work was finished and the building was opened for the school term which started in September of 1939.
