Principal Superintendent HISTORY OF TRIADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL Triadelphia High School began very humbly back in 1910 when Mr. A. W. Curtis, principal of the Elm Grove public school and Mr. I. V. Giffin, County Superintendent of Schools, felt the need of a high school for students of the out-the-pike district. As a result of their work and influence, a high school was established at Elm Grove for Triaclelphia district. Mr. A. NV. Curtis became principal and the only teacher of the student body, which numbered about twelve. The only subjects taught were English, Latin, Mathematics, and general science. The small school flourished and soon grew into a three-year high school. In April, 1913, a four-year high school was formed, and in September of that year 116 students enrolled in the new quarters at Edgington Lane. A principal and four teachers composed the faculty. Slowly but surely the number of students grew and so did the number of teachers until the school at Edgington Lane was filled almost beyond capacity, and a new building was erected at Oak Park. In January, 1919, the building was near completion and the school family moved into its new home. Triadelphia's history as a four-year high school dates back to 1913, when there were Eve graduates out of a student body of almost eighty. This year her graduates num- ber about 104. Triadelphia has grown and prospered until now she has been admitted to the North Central Association of high schools and colleges. This means that Triadelphia has come up to the standards set by the association, that she is a first class high school, and that all academic credits given by her will be recognized by any college. Much credit is due to Mr. P. E. King, Principal, and Mr. S. Jacob, district Superintendent of Schools, for the modern equipment and splendid management. Mr. King came to Triadelphia in September, 1919 from Grafton high, where he was principal. He received his A. B. degree at Blueridge College and his A. M. at West Virginia University. Mr. Jacob was principal of the Washington school before he became Superintendent of Triadelphia District schools. He received his A. B. degree at West Virginia Uni- versity. ll
