OUR SCHOOL This is the high school that the 275 children of our town and surrounding districts attend. From nine o ' clock to four o ' clock there is peace in our vil- lage, until the dismissal bell . . . and then the town wakes. The students start home on the big yellow busses and some of them walk. They go home to farms to do chores; they go home to their families, their lessons, and their suppers. Back in 1929, Middlebranch students were housed in the grade building and two portables. The only teachers were Margaret Rodgers, Dorthea Eynon, and E. S. Hawkins, superintendent. As pupils increased, new de- partments were added - - a commercial department, a manual arts depart- ment, and a Home Economics department. In 1931 the new high school building was erected adding a modern note to the community. Student ' s varied interests demanded organization of clubs and as a result Hi-Y, Booster, Girl Reserves, and Girl Scouts sprang up. With the new build- ing came new teachers and later the new Superintendent, Mr. Kohr. The new school buses had to be bought to get students to our school from all parts of the township. Behind our school ' s success has been the work and interest of the town- ship ' s school board and the P. T. A. They have been responsible for im- provements, sponsoring athletics, helping to build a band, and encouraging us and backing us on many enterprises. Today Middlebranch presents a varied curriculum, keeping up with many interests. It seems as though the whole school just kept growing - - improving, until two years ago Middlebranch was entered in North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. This was an honor, an achievement, the reward for years of effort, of building and developing. We are proud of our school and its record. Just as it is part of our town, it is part of our lives. It has played its part in the development of minds and characters and now has many who do not forget - - our school. Board of Education MR. M. B. HOMER — — President MR. A. J. WILLAMAN — — Clerk MR.
