Past iSruieuis: Have you ever thought about how far reaching the consequences of a local meeting can be. Memphis High School exists because of the first organized meeting of taxpayers living in Richmond Township, held April 1 7, 1 844. At this particular meeting, they had voted to hold classes in a building just south of the All Saints Church. The building on this location was probably built before 1 844 and used as a school by private citizens of Memphis. The teacher was a Mr. Bird. In the fall of 1 857, this school was moved to the corner of Bordman and Belle River Roads. Later, a second school was built adjacent to this for the ed- ucation of older students. This school was well- known as the “South School.” In the fall of 1849 the Riley Township school district was organized. In 1851 a school was built on the lot directly across from the United Methodist Church on Maple Street. It was known as the “North School.” In 1863, the two districts combined and in 1866 built the “Union School” on the site of the old high school on Potter Street. It was a rather large edifice, consisting of two rooms on the main floor and two rooms on the second. The chemical lab in this school was in a cloakroom under the stairway. The rest rooms w ere roughly 30 feet away from the school. In 1883, Thomas Clegg built his car. It was the first car built in Michigan. If it had not blown up be- tween Lambs and Masters Roads on its return trip from Emmett, Memphis could have been the car capital of the world. In 1888, Memphis graduated one Adrian Joyce who founded the Glidden Paint Company. The 1880 graduating class consisted of three per- sons. In 1898, graduation requirements were changed from completing ten grades to completing twelve grades. Union School Original School
