ROCKET 1922 OUR SCHOOL HISTORY The educational history of Mayville had its origin as far back as 1845, three years before Wisconsin was placed upon the roll-Call of the states. In the winter of 1847 the Hrst session of school was held. There was no school-house, but the home of one of the citizens was used for the purpose. The following spring saw a small school-house under construction at the present site of the Chas. Ruedebusch Co.'s store. Q The Foster Brothers in 1848 donated to the city a tract of land, which is now known as Foster Park, for the purpose of building a school-house. Three new de- partments were established, and with them came the studies of History and Geometry. Due to the increase in population, a still larger school was demanded, and in 1858 the north half of the present stone building was erected, the south half in 1876. The bell bears the name of the donor and the date of its donation: F. Sherin, 1857. This bell still calls the pupils to their studies. In 1880 the present High School was established with a three-year course. The first principal was 1. M. Turner. Our present High School principal and super- intendent of schools is R. D. Owen. The following additions have been gradually made to the course of study: Music, Drawing, Domestic Science, Teacher's Training Course, and a Commercial Course. The next improvement which we hope to have is a new High School building. Page Four
