The History of Swayzee School The tirst school house in Swayzee was built on Xlvest Lyons Street in 1884. The present school building was built in 1896-97 on South X1'2lSl'llllgf0l'l Street. At first only a three-year course was offered under O. D. Clawson, but when C. l.. Stubbs came in 1901-2 he introduced science into the curriculum, making a four-year course. The school had brilliant prospects for the future because of the high quality of the teachers and the strong school spirit shown. The most notable feature of Mr. Stubbs' superintendency was the granting of the high school commission in December, 1902. The Swayzonian was first published in 1902. lfollowing Superintendent Stubbs came Superintendents lf. li. Petty, H. li. Shepherd and E. E. Heeter. Under the latter the Alumni and Athletic Associations were formed. This was in 1906. .l. O. bl ames came next as superintendent and was at the head of the school from 1907 to 1910. The enrollment grew rapidly during those three years and athletics were particularly good. The football team of 1902 laid just claim to the state champion- ship for that year. Basket-ball, track and baseball teams were organized and won many victories. Mr. Geo. Chenoweth was superintendent in 1911 and in 1912 was succeeded by B. S. Xyilliamson. The gymnasium was built in 1913 on the corner of the school grounds. Because the enrollment reached its highest point, and be- cause the State Legislature passed the Vocational liducation Law in 1913, it became necessary to have more room for the ln- flustrial Arts. Consequently in 1913 an addition was built and used for the Assembly room, Primary, Domestic Science and Manual Training. Mr. A. ti. Cleaver became superintendent in 1916-17 and that year the school was taken oyer by the township for economic reasons. - Mr. R. Y. Pence was next in line in 1918-19. Then Wf C. tioble became superintendent of the schools for 1919-20. Many good improvements have been made in the school this year, espe- cially the drinking fountains, layatories, cafeteria, commercial department, new laboratory equipment, the High School Or- chestra, new books and pictures. The future outlook of the school is good. The country schools are being abandoned and will be consolidated with the Swayzee schools. A new heating system is being contracted for and probably in a few years a new building for the high school will be erected and the present one used for the grades.
