Curry's account of a private school states, 'One of the most exciting times of my life was the day that Pa entered me in Judge William Shelton's private school in Marlin, conducted in the Masonic Hall. Judge Shelton opened his school by reading the rules of conduct and showed us the big switch with which he intended to enforce his laws. 'We started the day off by having a lesson in spelling words called from the Blue Back Spglleg . . . Judge Shelton will ever be remembered as one of the greatest pedagogues of Falls County. If his students did not come up with their lessons, he had them stay after school and learn them.' Q11 Seeing the need for free education, the citizens of Marlin voted in 1882 to build a public school. Built in 1884, the first building was located north of the present post office on Coleman Street Later a school was built where the cotton compress now stands There was a fence around the school ground with stiles instead of gates The first graduating class was in 1892 The sixrnembers of this class were Bertie Bryden, Mary Conoly Nettie Falconer, Mattie Rice, Sallie Tomlinson and Emma Whitaker This school was destroyed by fire in 1900 on the day before classes were to begin In 1903 a fine new school building to accommodate all grades was built A picture of it is seen at the right The auditorium and several classrooms have been added since then In 1917 when Mr A C Ferguson was superintendent of schools the present high school building was completed, and the high school was moved from the older building In 1938 during the superintendency of Mr H J Mcllhany the gymnasium was constructed In the past year several new buildings have been added to the high school the industrial arts building the agricultural building, the band hall, the home economics department, and a school cafeteria Marlin High has beena member of the Southern Association of High Schools and Colleges since about 1912 As the school now begins an era of growth and expansion graduates have a heritage of which they can be very proud 1 Article by Marjorie Rogers quoted in The Daily Democrat Marl1n,Texas October 12 1942 published by Roy Eddms If 55 wsmiiffffif 'F' ' -1--L 'nu 'hw' 4 J i I ' ' ,' 1 .
