was also a stage at the north side of the hall. Many Hspellin' bees, literary gatherings, and community affairs were held in this hall. This hall was crowded to capacity one Friday evening in April, 1898. The occa- sion was the first commencement of the Riley Township High School. Miss Mary Davy, who had pursued the three years' high school course, was the only graduate, therefore she received all the honors. Her oration was entitled, 'tNew England Liberality. The address of the evening was given by Rev. Henry Jamison, of Delaware, Ohio. Music was furnished by a choir. Commencements were held then each following year. In 1902, however, there was no commencement because one more year was added to the course which made a four- year high school course. A musical program was given that year with an admission fee of five cents. The proceeds were used to pay for the tuning of the school piano. The Pandora Village School Board and the Riley Township School Board held a joint session in 1905. It was decided that the two districts should be united for high school purposes. They also resolved that it was necessary to have a new building for the accommodation of the pupils of the town and township. Some opposed the build- ing of the second high school on the grounds that the transfer of territory was illegal. The Supreme Court of Ohio, however, rendered their decision in favor of the transfer. The second high school building was erected in 1910 at an approximate cost of S20,000. It was located just south of the first four-room structure. Another addition was built in 1927-1928 to the original high school and joined on the north side. This addition provided the school with an auditorium, which is also used as a gymnasium and a com- munity room and kitchen. This room is now the school cafeteria and is also used for many community affairs. In 1940 a hall was built to join the present high school building and the grade-school building. Some improvements on the buildings have also been made. Additional property was purchased for a park and playground. The superintendents who have served this school from 1895 to the present time are the following: W. S. Sackett, 1895-98, P. D. Amstutz, 1898-1907, C. D. Steiner, 1907-10, J. A. Smith, 1910-16, George Erf, 1916-22, C. D. Steiner, 1922-36, Glenn Hilty, 1936-38, Charles R. Grothaus, 1938 to the present. The Pandora schools have ranked high in music. The girls' glee club, boys' glee club, and mixed chorus have participated in many contests in which they received the highest honors. Many ensemble and solo numbers have also received high rank. The band and orchestra, although they have not participated in any music contests, have also made a name for themselves in our community. Pandora continues to be known for its activity in sports. Basketball, baseball, football and track are the main sports participated in by our enthusiastic students. Honors have also been won in scholastic ability. Tests are given each year in the various subjects offered to determine the honor students in each subject. County, district and state contests are held each year, and appropriate awards are given. The students have an opportunity to join the various clubs in the school. Often high honors in the state are won by these students. The active clubs in our school at the present time are the following: Girl Reserves, Camptire Girls, Girls' 4-H Club, Girls' F. H. A. Club, Boy Scouts, Boys' F. F. A. Club, Boys' 4-H Club. Plays, concerts, operettas, and other programs are another phase of our present school life. These are presented by classes or clubs. The S pyglass is our school paper, which is published every three weeks. Our high school annual, the M ifror, is published according to the wishes of each senior class. The alumni association of our school is also active. A meeting is held each year. Many projects for the bettering of our school and community can be attributed to our alumni association. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The Mirror staff of 1943 is indebted to Mrs. C. D. Steiner for the information furnished for the writing of this history. ' P1128 1
