History of Rising Sun High School On the afternoon of February 2, l872, a boy who had just left the old Ris- ing Sun school building discovered that it was on fire. Hastily he gave the alarm, but it was too late to stay the flames, and all that could be done was to save those within. No doubt small boys were there who enjoyed the spectac- ular event, as well as the thought that freedom from irksome tasks and restraint was at hand. But this fire was a loss to Rising Sun, made greater from the fact that extensive repairs upon the old building were only just completed. As soon as possible rooms were rented, and there was opened in these temporary quart- ers an institution of learning that became known as Tinshop College. Scarcely were the embers of the old building cool when steps were taken to replace it with a more modern and commodious one. The contract was awarded to Mr. J. M. Rister, a resident of Rising Sun, who agreed to fulfill all specifications for the sum of seventeen thousand, five hundred dollars Q51 7,500.1 This was the price paid but it proved to be very disastrous financially to Mr. Rister. Much of the work was sub-let, and no small part of it fell to Mr. james Harris, who among other things, erected the cupola which still adorns the build- ing. The work was pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and on the first Monday in january of the following year, just eleven months after the burning of the old school house, the new one, though far from being completed, was opened for use. The assembly room on the third floor was not finished, nor was it used for many years. The only room on the third floor that was used was No. 9. Here Supt. Stultz heard the classes recite and here offenders from all over the building were sent when the misdemeanor was too serious to be dealt with by the teacher, There was no library at that time, and the present library room was used as high school, the one adjoining the library was known as No. 7, and corresponded to the grade now called No. S. One of the most serious tasks of Mr. Stultz was the grading of the new school. Heretofore it was like nothing so much as an overgrown country school, the pupils choosing the teacher they preferred, and taking up such studies as appealed to them most.. As a direct result of the new system, in I875 was the first class to complete the school. Since that time each year has added its quoto to the alumni. Mr. Stultz was aided in his work by a very efficient corps of teachers, whose earnest efforts in the trying time of reorganization earned the love and commend- ed the respect of all. Among these, Mrs. Jennie Downey, primary teacherg Miss Alma Wilbur, Miss Lottie Latham, Miss Eliza McKnight, Miss Minerva Romans and Mr. E.. C. Bickmore will never be forgotten by the youth of thirty years ago. R.
