Therefore, Prof, he must go “thru” With work so good or poor That I may have the goodly “rep” For teaching figure lore Forever anti forever. In the name of the (Head Professor.) Amen.

HMstor of School Our High School is an outgrowth of the ninth e ade which was started in 1908. From then until tlm present time it has grown, both in enrollment and efficiency of work, and is a standard High School, meet- ing all state requirements. Mr. Ford and Miss Travis, the first teachers met with many difficult problems as facilities were mea- ger and inadequate; they made the needs of a high school known to the people of this rural district, and the next year under Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Peterson the school was given a name and privileges of a high school. The practical side of education was demonstrated by them and the Domestic Science and Art and Manual Training Deparement was introduced. In 1912 Mr. Williams was principal, and the schr ol was moved to a separate building where departmo work could be carried on more sucessfully. Since r oving to the new building the enrollment has greatly increased, the students of the district realize that their education is not begun until they have graduated Horn high school. For the last four years the public school graduates have enrolled almost exclusively in our high school, for they healize our school is for their benefit, and they know they cannot miss the higher education, when at their doors. A school is judged by the work and enthusiasm of its students, and never before has our school been so active as it is today. The social life this year has been such that the students, the patrons and the town can well feel proud of their school. This year our school reaches a milestone in it’s history which is marked by the first graduating class; for the first time in its history has the full four years curriculum been completed. Our High school is in it’s infancy, it has it ' s beginning abroad, in it’s fii’st graduating class. The work of these first gradu- ates will be a guide and inspiration to those students following, and our sincerest hope is that next year another class as earnest and zealous as the first may mark the second milestone. Let us all boost for the Sugar-Salem High that it’s future may be as progressive as it’s past.

OLDHAM, W. B. Argumentative, oratorical and very decided in his opinions, but his tireless energy and his great ac- tivities in student affairs have endeared him to all who know him well. WEST, J. W. A harder “Quizzer” never happened. What he don’t examin’ on isn’t worth knowing, for as he says, “I base everything on a Psychological principle.”
