M History or the boinoira lUin:io:m Hugh Schooll YEL The history of secondary education in Tuolumne County dates from the resolu- tion of the County Boa1'd of Education in July 1903 to establish a High School in Tuo- 1 ,' lurnne County to be known as Tuolumne County High School. Although an experi- YEL ITICIWI, the school was well received and from the first showed a steady growth. The Board of Education at that time consisted of Mrs. James Rhine, president, Mr. -I. P. Morgan, secretary, and Miss M. A. Fahey, N. S. Siebert, and J. Morgan Mc- yfiii Mahon. The High School began its history the fall semester of 1903 by convening in the Court I-Iouse, with Mr. J. Pentield. Principal. Miss Frances Murray as teacher, and ' Sixty-two pupils enrolled. In 1904 one teacher was added, Miss Minnie Mirsky, flli who is now superintendent of schools in Sutter County. In 1905 Irving Out- ,fai cald became principal and another teacher was added. On Mr. Outcald's resignation, If .l- Ii. Cover, who is now Professor of Education at Stanford was elected Principal. yi During these first three years a number of the students that had special prepara- tion had completed their course of study, and the first graduation was held in June II 1905, with Irene Morsehead and Susie Trask as graduates. In 1906 the school was 7 moved to its present site with Nllfilliam Inch as Principal, and a staff of six teachers. I J The school had a steady growth in enrollment and teachers were added as new courses It were added to the cu1'riculum. Vocational work such as economics, citizenship, and ji commercial courses were put into the curriculum early in its history. These, with the rl' ilcadernic courses offered, give ample opportunity to any student to get the fundamentals A' of secondary education. ln 1910 W. P. Campbell was elected Principal and continued in that' capacity iii! until 1914 when If. C. Schofield was elected upon the resignation of Mr. Campbell. I I l 'Ie continued in that capacity until 1917. pi' ln 1916 the school was changed from a county I-Iigh School to a Union District U High School and the Board of Directors was elected with AI. B. Curtin as president, Charles Segerstrom as clerk, and H. O. Ball. HI. I-I. West, and Dr. D. E. Stratton as members. The personnel of the present Board is as follows: Charles H. Segerstrom, ll! president, ml. Ii. Baer, clerk, Dr. D. E. Stratton, Garnet Barron, Rowan Hardin as members, ln 1921 the gymnasium was erected, which gave a much needed addition E K1 to our school plant. XVe have a modern school plant at the present time, although we ll' are somewhat crowded. ln 1917 the enrollment was 140 pupils, and now twelve yea1's later the total en- Lj rollment is 340. The graduates in 1917 numbered 21 and this year's class numbers 64. jr Secondary Schools, though an experiment at Hrst, have proven their worth and 1,1 will continue as a recognized factor in education. They must continue to improve. They must weed out of their curriculum the material that falls short and put into the A courses the new ideas of the timesg they must be a sorting ground, an experimental plot fOr the nurture of new theories. Though they cannot be perfect, we must keep them On the upward trend. Tuolumne County now has two I-Iigh Schools of A rating, doing a real service for the young people of this district. -V. A.
