MARTINSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL ff ff 2 MARTINSVILLE, INDIANA Martinsville High School was organized in 1863 and the first class was graduated in 1875. The cornerstone for the pres- ent high school building was laid in 1913, with classes meeting here for the first time late in the fall of 1914. An addition to provide classrooms for the Junior High School and shops for printing and electricity courses was begun in 1922 and completed in 1925. The first yearbook published by Martinsville High School under the name ARTESIAN was edited by the class of 1923. Miss Margaret Rose was sponsor of the senior class in 1923, even as she is the sponsor of this year's class, and the first book was dedicated to her. Miss Rose received a special suede-bound copy of the book. 2
