rigin of cslclzoof mistrict 0 Tnelzlvifle A meeting of the householders of St. john District Township 44 was convened this 31st day of December l84l for the purpose of selecting the officers for conducting the concerns of a school. Mr. Green Parke stated that three trustees and one clerk had to be elected at this meeting. FIRST: Mr. George Mehel, Director for this Dis- trict, proposed Iohn Gerber, M. D., to be the Clerk for the ensuing year. Mr. Franz Rothenbucker seconded the proposal, which was approved unanimously. SECOND: By a majority of votes the following gentlemen were elected trustees of the school in this district: Messrs. Franz Rothenbucker, Henry Muller and Philip Crecelius. THIRD: As collector was nom- inated Mr. Green Parke. A special meeting of the trustees of St. Iohn District was convened at Mr. Green Parke's residence this l5th day of Ianuary l843 to take into consideration the most central spot in the district for building a school house. The trustees, Messrs. Rothen- bucker, Heinrick Muller and Philip Crecelius, were all present. According to a majority of votes of the householders of said district expressed at their late meeting not to build the school house on land claimed by the town of Carondelet. The trustees at their meeting this day resolved first-to proceed looking about for the most central part of this district within the line excluding Carondelet claim. Second-that in the event Carondelet claim should at any time be annulled and settled as the remainder of this district now is, it be then left to the majority of the Votes of the trustees to remove said house to the then most central part of the district, if they then find it necessary. The trustees, after look- ing at different places, fixed upon a spot on Mr. Green Parke's land. Mr. Green Parke readily offered gratuit- ously one acre for that purpose as long as the same shall be used for the purpose of holding school there- ony also reserving the timber now standing on said land. Fourth-the house shall be built either of log or frame, what- ever be cheapest, and given to build to the lowest bidder. The house is to be eighteen by twenty feet wide and not under nine feet high in the clear with four windows, each having twelve lights eight by twenty inches, one common door three by seven feet, and a small chimney filling for a stove pipe from the center of the top floor extending two feet outside beyond the roof. ...ausvws A special meeting of the trustees of St. Iohn District No. 4, Township 44, of St. Louis County, was convened at Ionah Parke on the 8th of April, 1844, to make an agreement with Mr. Berry to teach in our school for the space of three months at S20 per month.

zlngmasters SCHOOL BOARD The school board is the representative of us, the taxpayers. The tirst and third Mondays ot each month these seven men assemble to look after the property and personnel of our spacious school district, and to secure any pos- sible advantages for us. Because of them, great care has been taken in the arrangement of the school curriculum that such branches as should be found to be of the greatest advantage to the greatest num- ber should be most diligently studied. No pains have been spared to make the course of study and the plan of its pursuit all that it should be in every well-regulated institution. lt is with extreme gratitude that we, the students of Mehlville High School, salute our school board. ! t i I Loft to right: Illr.
