ECDL? ibnnt SDDJI HISTORY OF OUR SCHOOL iw' Xlif llill, as befits the namesake of tlxford, lfngland, has from its very flt ti begmnmg been an educational center. .Xt the present time there IS an l lvl A-1 J, ., -LQ, p,qlQ5gLs orphanage and a junior college here besides the system of public schools. There is also a colored asylum and a colored academy. lfiut the par- ticular pride of tlxforcl is her public school system in which there is a grammar school, a high school, a mill school, and a grammar school for the uegroes. Hur school system began in llltll when a campaign was made to establish .1 graded school here, 'llhis campaign was very successful. ln the fall of l9Ol the school opened in the old l7aucette lluilding at the present site on College Street. 'llhis first year the school ran eight months and there were two hundred pupils enrolled. 'l'here were seven grades and five teachers. ln l Itl3 the General Assembly passed an act permanently incorporating the tlxford flraded School System. ln lflll conditions became so crowded that a change was necessary. For this reason a new brick building was built on the same site on College Street. The school continued to grow. fly lfll7 there were ten grades and a change again became necessary, so the four high school grades were moved to the Cooper liuilding on Xlilliamsboro Street. 'llhis was the beginning of our dear beloved l l. ll. S. The first principal of the high school was l. lf. llutt. lu lfllH the eleventh grade was added. The Cooper lluilding was originally a dwelling house, and was not adequate for the growing needs of the school. In the spring of lllll a bond issue was put on for a new high school building. ln spite of opposition it was carried and plans for the present building were made. lly October. 1921, we had moved in. llesides the high school the sixth and seventh grades, or the 'Qlunior llighf' was also located in the new building. Since that historic date we of the Oxford High have enjoyed the advantages of a comfortable. beautiful, and most satisfactory building, besides the beautiful campus around it. Nay the dear old school last as long as our memories of the four years we spent there. XY. PAGE TEN
