With the square, the Deputy Grand Master proved the stone square, and that the craftsmen had performed their duty. With the level, the Senior Grand Warden pronounced it level and the Junior Grand Warden announced that it was true to the plumb. Corn as an emblem of plenty was scattered on the stone, the wine of joy and gladness was poured, and the oil of peace poured out symbolized love and sympathy for the widow and orphan and pouring out of mercies for them. The John Nichols School Building, named in memory of the Past Grand Master Nichols, was completed in 1925-fireproof, sanitary, and up-to-date in every respect. It was occupied in September, 1925. In the very beginning, the school was not only accredited by the State Board of Education, but also by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In connection with this honor, Supt. R. L. Brown said, This is truly no small compliment to the faithful services of our very efficient teachers as well as the magnificent planning and executive ability of our Lady Supervisor, Miss Nettie N. Bemis. With the enactment of the new school law by the General Assembly in 1931, Supt. C. K. Proctor saw the opportunity of the John Nichols School becoming a part of the State system, thus, by his earnest efforts and the cooperation of the State Equalization Board, the school was admitted, however, the State does not pay entirely the expenses of operating the John Nichols School, neither does the Oxford Orphanage lose entire control of its school or in the management of its affairs. Since that date, the school has continued to enjoy the splendid cooperation accorded by Supt. C. G. Credle of the Oxford City System, and the many advantages to be had through the broader affiliation. A further opportunity provided this year has been the services of a most capable supervisor, Miss Patsy Montague, employed in the Oxford City System. Students of the high school participate in many interscholastic contests in the State, and the school is also a member of the State High School Athletic Conference Class A. Every teacher in the school holds at least a Class A certificate. The enrollment for the year has been 449, and on June 2, 1950, twenty-two seniors will graduate from the John Nichols School, to take their places and become worthy citizens of our great state. - Page Sixteen 1950
