isforg of eabody Selma! In 1908 the Usceola High School was established as a branch of Old Central High School. One year later the l.incoln High School was established as another branch. Both schools were continued until 1911. when they combined to form Peabody High School, This new school occupied the addition to the Klargaretta firannnar School building. The grade pupils were later transferred to the new Rogers and Dilworth Schools. There were 750 students enrolled the first year. Several years later so many students wished admittance. and so crowded was the school. that it was necessary to build on the ground in the rear, gi long row ol' portables to relieve the congested conditions. The portables proved unsatisfactory. ln warm weather. they were very hot: in winter terribly cold. Finally. the interior of the Scliool building was entirely remodeled. and the portables abandoned. liach year the number of students entering school conf tinued to increase, and in 1923 after an enormous sum had been provided. work on the large addition to Peabody High School was begun. lt was ready for use in September of the year 1925. The first class to graduate was that of klune. 191-l. with 150 graduates. '1'lllS number slowly increased and now there are 275 graduating this semester out of a total of 2050 pupils. lfroni a statistical report which includes the years 1914 to 1925. it was shown that over 63 per cent of our graduates go to college or enter other higher institutions of learning. Many of our graduates have won high honors in college. llr. lJ. R. Sumstine served as the first principal of Peabody High School until lfebruary 2. 1925 when he became Director of Curriculum Study and liducation Measurement and Re- search. Xlr. lf. l.. Nlatteson who had served as vice principal from September 1917 until February 1925. became principal upon the promotion oi llr. Sumstine. In the Spring of 1929 Xlr. Matteson asked to be relieved from the pressing duties of the principalship on account of failing health. 'lihus in Sep- tember 1929 Nlr. Klatteson again became vice principal and Klr. lJ. lf. Xliller. former principal oi the Herron High School. became principal of l'eabody. Peabody has always been noted for clean sportsmanship. 4 ine of its chief aims is to develop power in students to govern themselves. l.et us uphold these standards. so that there will never be a blemish on the name ul. l'eabody High School.
