John S. McCurdy was 9 elected principal. The first class to graduate from the institution was composed W I of four members. M f The school board, in February, 1914, resolved to submit to the voters of A fp the borough a proposition for borrowing 825,000 for a new school building. N f The proposition was brought to a vote and the voters decided favorably that a Q 5 high school building should be erected on Chestnut Street, riorth of Summit M f Street. Work was begun in 1914 and the halls and upper floors were completed Ru Q for entrance for the term of 1915 '16, The number in the high school in 191445 RQ, f was 80 pupils and in 1915 '16 the pupils numbered 125. Later the 8th and 7th 'Nh Q grades respectively were added, forming a 6 year high school. Grant E. Delph f was then chosen as principal. From 1916 up to 1930, the supervision of the high M 'Q school was in the hands of the following men: H. E. Messersmith, Conrad 'Um M Muehe, Howard Heckman, O. J. Farrell, and jacob D. Wentzel. K Such was the growth and progress of the school that the accommodations M 5 were insufficient to meet the growing needs of the school, and in 1931 an mm f additional piece was constructed with ample space for recitation rooms, a library, A F home economics and manual training departments, and a gymnasium. During N 9 the year when the building was under construction and for three following Q f terms, Harry B. Fehl served in the capacity of principal. In 1934, the position N M was accepted by Charles O. Metcalf, our present principal. Q W Much has been done recently to improve the general status of the high M F school. The athletic field at the rear of the school has been made suitable for Q f baseball, soccer, track, and tennis. With this good record and the bright 'lm F prospects for the future, we sincerely hope that Mohnton High School will Q fp continue to uphold the finest standards of education.
