A HISTORY OF THE SLIGO HIGH SCHOOL Sligo has long had one of the best known high schools in the country. Its auditorium now ranks among the finest in this part of the country. For a town as small as ours we should be proud of our school. , Over fifty years ago the ringing of the school bell called the eager pupils to begin their lessons in the small one-room school- house on Coleraine Street, opposite the site of our present high school. Later this building was bought and used as the M. E. Hall. Then a new school was constructed across the street from the Methodist Church. For many years this was Sligo's only school. As the school attendance increased several additions were built to accommodate the students. In 1911 the last addition was made. In 1927 the present Sligo High School was erected. This building consists of eight rooms, three of which are used by the grades. Before 1936 the Skating Rink served as the school gym- nasium and recreation hall. Then the Logue Memorial Auditor- ium was built. On February 8, 1937, the Auditorium was dedicated by Dr. Lee L. Driver. The number of teachers first employed in the high school was one, the principal. At present there are seven high school teachers and live grade teachers. 1 A few of the many principals of the Sligo High School are: john Myers, now a prominent attorney in Clarion, James Hughes, Superintendent of Schools in Fayette Countyg R. B. Burnham, john Rutherford, J. L. Chick, and Hugh West. H. A. Hartman is our present principal. In the first few years of the high schoolla course of only two years was offered. In 1915 another year was added and 'ten years later in 1925 a four-year course was adopted. The first graduating class, that of 1896, consisted of three persons, James J. Neil, Maude Coleman, and Ira Hodil. In 1899, 1915, and 1926 there were no graduating classes. The class of 1907 had but one graduate, Mabel Silves. The graduating classes have increased very considerably during 'the years, the largest number -of graduates in one year being thirty-tive. ' In 1906 dark blue and white were selected as our school colors. During the past few years they have been changed to royal blue and white. We shall let the past rest and look to the future. We all join in wishing to the Sligo High School ever increasing success in years to come.
