f I V THE SCHOOL BOARD Mr. J. B. Dyer, Mr. J. D. Hanes, Mr. W. F. McVaughg and Mr. T. M. Hardy. In our community we have many citizens who co-operate to the fullest extent with our school and all school activities. Such citizens as these make up our school board. Mr. McVaugh, a civil engineer and contractor, is president of the School Board and is himself an alumnus of P. H. S., having been graduated in 1903. In view of the length of time he has served on the School Board, Mr. McVaugh is the oldest member. Mr. Hardy, the treasurer of the School Board, is a prominent manufacturer of our community and has served on the board for several years. Mr. Dyer, a recent addition to our community, has taken a very active interest in the school. He is employed in Delco-Remy, acting as scientific engineer. He is the last to have been elected and serves as secretary of the board. Our trustee, Mr. Hanes, is a well-respected farmer, who has always been interested , in the school. Our superintendent, Mr. Floyd H. Miner, acts as a connecting link between the school board and our school. As a result of their co-operation, our school problems have been well conducted. The Board always has the best interest of the students at heart. During the last few years the high school campus has been landscaped. A great deal of shrubbery has been planted, and the campus has been enlarged. The School Board has been responsible for the two fine tennis courts, which afford much pleasure to the students. A fifth of a mile track, baseball diamond and field have also been added to our campus. We are very grateful to the members of the Board, who are willing to co-operate in every way possible to make our school efficient. Page Eigbl if Us S .wiv -fell' All .. ,. BW- KN

yy, 1, ,X , .1 ly A BRIEF HISTORY OF P. H. S. Pendleton is located in a community which has always been school-minded. Being situated in an agricultural section has aided Pendleton in keeping her population more stable than many towns. Not only Pendleton has served her populace with good schools, but also several of the townships round about have contributed to the success of the Pendleton Schools. One of the outstanding features of all the early settlements was the attention given to schools. The Friends, or Quakers, as they are sometimes called, contributed no small part in the development of an educational ideal. This ideal has grown. On April 20, 1907, C. F. Williams, trustee of Fall Creek township, I. I. Rogers, Dr. L. E. Alexander, and George P. Longnecker, School Trustees of Town of Pendleton, entered into an agreement to conduct the schools of Fall Creek Township and Pendleton jointly. At present there is an enrollment of nearly six hundred pupils, including the high school and the grades. Under a contract of january 11, 1913, a high school district was created and the annex was built to the old high school building. In 1924 the entire high school building was remodeled. The lirst high school was organized by P. A. Randall. The high school was com- missioned in 1886. A Six-Six commission was granted in 1923. Pendleton has recently been recommended for a First Class Commission. The following men have served as superintendents of Pendleton Schools: P. A. Randall, Alpheus Reynolds, J. D. White, E. D. Allen, 1892-1912, Harry Reid, 1912- 1915, George B. Routt, 1915-1918, C. C. Carson, 1918-1920, J. P. Amick, 1920-1922, Floyd Miner, 1922-. The alumni body of Pendleton High School has grown steadily. There are 538 graduates. These graduates have entered the various walks of life. In the alumni body will be found bankers, farmers, home makers, clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers, artists, musicians, teachers, lawyers, engineers, contractors, merchants, druggists, mechanics, authors, state superintendent, physicians, dentists, photographers, bridge contractors, newspaper reporters, and ministers. Many of these graduates have achieved notable success. It would be hard to decide upon a list of favored sons and daughters. Page Ten R l X eyfifj llliiif l ifii .lt f' .
