its present physical size and appearance. With the completion of these new sec- tions, the building contained 10 rooms. The first class to receive diplomas from this building was the class of 1884 and consisted of 12 graduates. Miss Emma Deeter, for whom the building was later named, taught the first grade here from 1882 until her retirement in 1928. 5 The Robison building, which is located at Seventh Street, was erected in 1892 as a six room building which was built to ac- commodate approximately l50 pupils. The cost of the building was 316,000. Due to modern expansion and an ever growing population several extra rooms were built. It now consists of 10 rooms and it supplies substantial room for 217 pupils from grades one through six. The faculty is comprised of 8 classroom teachers and a principal, Miss Allen. During the past year a new cafeteria was installed to further provide the students with more of the newer facilities now available. This building was named in honor of Miss Emma Robison, who taught here from 1900 to 1937.

With the closing of five little one room schools, the new South Pyma- tuning Elementary School came into being. The first classes were held in the new building upon the retum from Christmas vacation in January of 1953. This new structure supplied adequate room For the 445 pupils which it housed. There were 12 classrooms, a cafeteria, and a gymnasium and auditorium combined. As the school attendance continued to grow it became apparent that this very new building could no longer handle the crowded situation and, therefore, plans were made for an addition. When the 1958--59 school session opened in September the new addition was open for use. The student enrollment Rnr the term was, approxi- mately, 468. Six extra classrooms and a new music room are now in opera- tion. There was 18 classroom teachers in the building and many of them originally taught in one of the old rural sciool houses. Mr. Samuel Davis is the school principal and he is also the elementary supervisor . Last of the one-room schools One of the most recent types of school architecture in our community is the Pebly building which was started in 1955 and was completed in the fall of 1956. This modern structure is composed of 12 classrooms, and an all-purpose room used as a gymnasium, an auditorium, and a cafeteria. As the doors ofthe Pebly Building opened, 350 students were enrolled. It is staffed by l3 teachers and a principal, Mr. McWhirter. Assisting these teachers are special subject instructors: in music and art who visit each room once a week. The school was named for former Superintendent of Sharpsville Schools, Mr. Harry Pebly, who retired in June of 1957 after 36 years of service to our school system. 7
