CLASS OF 1913 In the fall of 1909, a high school course was added to the Ransom school system. This was a 4-year high school organized under the Barnes High School law and two more teach- ers were added to the faculty, already consisting of three teachers. Enroll- ment in high school was 50, 20 boys and 30 girls. Three courses were of- fered at that time. The second floor of the Grammar Room was used for high school classes. C. M. Livingood was hired to teach the 8th and the first year of high school. The subjects taught were; Latin, English; Ancient History; and Algebra. The members of the Freshman class were; Gladys Carrol, Georgia Blocksome, Agnes, Minnie, and Albert Dubbs. Georgia dropped out at the end of the year and the remaining four made up the FIRST GRADUATING CLASS OF RANSOM HIGH SCHOOL, this be- ing in 1913. The following quote was taken from Albert Dubbs' autobiography; The Sophomore year our teacher was May Bernard, daughter of a pioneer doctor in Ness City. She was one of the finest teachers I ever had, al- though I kept up a running argument with her the entire year. One amusing incident that year was that our Doctor Grisell, who was on the school board, decided that the school building should be fumigated because of a measles epidemic. Miss Bernard, be- ing the daughter of a competing doc- tor, decided that the fumigation was not necessary. I can still remember her wrath upon coming to school one Monday morning and finding that the building had been fumigated over the weekend. The rest of this history was pro- vided by Minnie (Dubbs) Millbrook, the only surviving member of the 1913 class. In 1912-1913, the high school was complete with two teachers, Claude DeWitt and Gladys Dreher. Miss Dreher taught the Latin and English classes and Mr. DeWitt taught the rest. I still remember going up to the teacher's desk in front for recitations. As to the courses offered, there was little choice. Everyone took four years of English and Latin, a year of Alge- bra, a year of Geometry, and assorted classes of History, Civics, and Physi- ology. For graduation each student must have passed sixteen courses, four each year. In addition. Miss Dreher, a skilled musician, trained a girl's quartet and Mr. DeWitt taught a boy's basketball team, with all the games being played on an outside court. Finally the Ransom High School was complete. The first graduation was in May 1913. There were four graduates; Gladys Carroll, Albert, Ag- nes, and Minnie Dubbs. Since the school building was now fully taken up by classrooms, the graduation ex- ercises were held in the Christian Church. Some local orator gave the main address; each member of the class spoke briefly, the valedictorian, Albert Dubbs, more lengthily. I do remember my graduation costume — a white embroidered voile dress or- dered from Montgomery Ward, and white, high buttoned shoes.
