Mccluve iqh School During the summer of 1902 the question was raised as to whether Dam- ascus Township should have a high school. At that time there were nine dis- tricts and nine schools in the township. The township board of education then consisted of nine members. At the meeting called to decide this question, only eight membrs were present and the vote resulted in a tie. Under the circum- stances the township clerk had the power to cast a vote. His vote was favorable and the Damascus Township high school came into being. Mr. Jacob Love was selected to organize and teach the school. An examination was given to all who cared to attend, and by ranking the pupils according to ability, the high school was divided into classes. These classes were held on the upper floor of the old Gem theater. At a later date the school was transferred to a large frame building which is now being used as a barn on the Hahn farm north of town. The school was judged Class A in 1913, and was issued a First Grade charter in 1914. A short time later the school was again transferred. this time to the present brick building, which was constructed at a cost of 335,000 The school enrollment has been increasing in recent years and it is hoped that the school plant will soon be enlarged and a much needed gymnasium-au- ditorium added. The Class of 1936 wishes to take this opportunity to express its ap- preciation of the school opportunities that have been provided by the ocwd ol educolion ' Dr. J. A. Ruder . md..
