LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY Secondary Education in Plymouth is less than a century old and yet in that time there have been 1,682 people graduated from the Plymouth Sec- ondary Schools. The first class was graduated in 1876, just sixty years ago. This class con- sisted of four people: Haddie G. Barton, Ira I). Buck, Ida C. Klinger, and Henry A. Pershing. The faculty consisted of just one teacher, Daniel Pres- cott. of Manchester, Iowa. Roscoe Chase was superintendent of the city schools then. The largest class that has ever graduated from Plymouth High School was the class of 1930 with a membership of 88. The 1935 class came second with a membership of 84; the class of 1933 third with a membership of 82; and the class of 1936 fourth with a membership of 80. Plymouth High School was originally housed in the Washington Building but in 1925 it was necessary to erect a new building to accommodate the rapidly growing school. The first class was graduated from the new school in 1926. All in all, 752 students have received their diplomas from Lincoln High School. Plymouth High School was one of the first fifteen high schools in the state to be accredited by the State Board of Education. Throughout its brief sixty years, it has ever maintained this high standard. The eight men who have directed the development of the city schools dur- ing the past sixty years are: Roscoe Chase from 1870 to 1903; R. A. Randall from 1903 to 1911: O. E. McDowell from 1911 to 1917; H. W. Dutter from 1917 to 1918; Louis Steinbach from 1918 to 1921; C. R. Stallings from 1921 to 1924; C. E. Spaulding from 1924 to 1930; and Ray Kuhn, who is superin- tendent at the present time. Page twelve
