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

-NNN N-4 lxst at 'M' r' SH RPSVILLE HIGH SCHCGL Just as we today face a growing population and crowded conditions the youth of a past era faced the same problems. The old high school on Mercer Avenue was bulging at the seams and could no longer contain the growing school population of that day. Plans for the new high school were finally completed and the selected site was the top of the hill on Ridge Avenue. The contract was let to Wallis and Carley, contractors, of Sharon. This new building was the very latest in modern school construction and it had all the modern equipment of that day. It was comprised of 14 classrooms and a combination gymnasium and auditorium and it housed about 250 students with room for 150 more. There were 12 teachers at this time, a superintendent, and a principal. 8
