Alumni Society ★ The first graduating class from the present Maupin High School building was in 1924. Up until then the high school classes were held in the west room of the present grade school building with only one teacher. The first year high school was held in the present building there were two teachers and less than twenty students. Since that time it is easy to see Maupin High School has made many advancements not only in the number of the student body but in equipment and recognition among other schools. Since 1924 Maupin High School has had many graduates. It would be difficult for us to mention them all in the limited space we have here.

The School Board ★ In addition to the regular duties ot overseeing the annual business of the district, the school board has supervised many valuable improvements. Among them made during this year were the completion of the rock retaining wall on the southwest side of the school grounds, and the turfing of the football field, with an adequate watering system installed for the upkeep of the field. The building was completely renovated, with an improved lighting system in the gym for more efficient service. The new equipment purchased included: Typewriters, science equipment, adjustable shelves, one hundred new books and fifteen magazine subscriptions for the newly located library. These improvements have assisted in retaining the school's membership in The Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools; this membership having been attained for the first time last year. ★ [8] ( J.
