W. S. Freeman Is a graduate of the River Falls Normal. He taught in rural schools for several years and was principal of the High School at Barron before coming to Mondavi. He followed Mr. Nesbit as principal of the Mondovi High School, being here in 1905-1906. ALUMNI In mi a school house was built on the site of the present brick structure at a cost of over $3000 and here for twenty years the young Mondovi minds were trained under the leadership of such men as E. II. Robinson, E. A. Benson, Prof. Wood, .T. ('. Rathbun, II. W. Schnare, E. B. Bartlett, S. (I. Oilman, A. M. Looker and others. During these years the school advanced with the progress of the community and when in 1891 the school house burned and the question of rebuilding came up, it was evident a much larger and better building must take the place of the old one. For some time the capacity of the old building had been taxed to the utmost, more people were settling in the city and graduates from districts schools were coming here to complete their education. In the fall of 1891, the present school house was completed at a cost of $1-1,000. In 1900 tiie Kindergarten building was built. In 191 2 this kind of school was discontinued because of the lack of room. In 1905 the grade building was built. Today we are crowded, and the need for a new school is a pressing one. A $2,000 heating plant warms the rooms. The lirst class to graduate from the school after it became a high school consisted of Misses Mabel Farrington. Eva Fisher and Anna Smith. This was in 1890. 1890: 1. Maid Farrington taught in the public schools, and was graduated from Smith College. At present she s librarian in the Mondovi Public Library. 2. Anna Smith taught in common schools, attended River Falls Normal. At first she taught in St. Croix Falls, but later she was engaged to teach the eighth grade in Mondovi schools, which position she bolds at the present time. Scores of Mondovi parents hope that their children may have the opportunity of her scholastic guidance. 3. Eva Fisher taught music until she married Walter Walsh.
