Students, Faculty, Citizens - the Main Ingredient: They Make the School You can have a building, and you can have a name, but without the people, there is no school. The idea of starting a school in this area began when the popu- lation of the Silver Creek township started to grow rather rapidly. One might sayvthat Mr. Speed, of the Louisville Cement Company, was the main person involved with the school that was built on top of the hill. llt is now known as the Silver Creek Jr. High.l He offered to give all the cement to be used in the con- struction of the building, purchase the ground for the building, give free electric- ity and water for five years, and the com- pany would build a walk connecting Speed and Sellersburg if the new school would be built between the two communi- ties. .

This also gives an opportunity for the student- teacher relationship to expand. The sports scene, especially basketball, seemed to get the community involved with the school more than anything. The citizens of this township always liked an exciting game, so when these were played, there was a crowd watching.
