SPENCERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL 'W u Our School From 1876 To 1936 The first brick school building that was built in Spencerville was built in the year 1876. It is still standing and is a part of the present grade school building. Shortly after, a small frame building was built, in the southwest corner of the schoolground, for the primary class. Later additions were built to the brick build- ing until the present structure was evolved. At this time the school was a gram- mar school. Facilities for a high school were introduced in 1886, with an enrollment the first year of probably about twenty. As the enrollment increased the building was enlarged and for many years the high school pupils attended the building that is now the Grade School. On February 4, 1927 the new high school building was dedicated. It is a mod- ern building that is very well departmentalized and equipped. The present high school system was chartered April 14, 1905 from the commissioner of Common Schools of Ohio. The first class to graduate, which was in 1888, consisted of eight graduates. In 1933 a class of 56 graduated, which is the largest class ever to graduate from Spencer High. The present enrollment of the high school is 233 and 49 of these are destined to become the Class of '36, Six

He not only works on the board but also works to keep the roads in condition for our school buses. Mr. John A. Beerman has been a member of the board for two years. His occu- pation is farming. He has taken an active part in the farm organizations of the community and has done a fine job on the school board. Mr. Robert I. Mitchell is a new member of the board. He lives on a farm near Spencerville and is employed by the county to repair our roads. He has done fine work this year and we are sure that it shall continue. Mr. C. Levi Hilty has been a member of the board for two years. His interests are centered around his meat market through which he serves the people as faithfully as he serves the community through the school board. Mr. Francis George has been a member of the board for three years. He has worked diligently to serve the public as best he can. He is employed in our Citi- zens and Farmers Bank. Mr. H. B. Sunderland is the clerk for the board. He operates a shoe store in this town. He has done a fine piece of work for the short time he has been serv- ing the board. These men do all within their power to serve the community and give every possible opportunity to the pupils. During the current year these men in coopera- tion with the W. P. A., have completed a bus garage on our local high school ground. We think it only fitting and proper that we, the Class of '36 , should compliment them on bettering conditions under which we have finished our school life. Seven,
