Of these there were seven and two so-called fractional districts where the schools wer' managed jointly with other town- ships. ' K ' Some of these district schools were of un- usual merit for their kind and numbered among their teachers men and women now noted in the county, state, and nation. Clarence Darrow, when a mere youth, taught several terms at School No. 3, and was famous as a debater even in those early days of his career. Judge W'illiam Carter taught two terms in the district known as the Beach Dis- trict. The schools were consolidated and central- ized in 1901. The new building being located at the center, and organized as a High School of the third grade. The first superintendent of the Centralized School was C. C. Rankin. In 1914 the original building was destroyed by fire and replaced by the present building of fire-proof construction. After the new building was completed the school was reorganized as a high school of the first grade, in 1915. Amongi the early super- intendents of the building were M. M. Dray, now a teacher of history at Warren G. Hard- ing High School, Warren, Ohio, Mr. A. L. Bascom, present superintendent at Leavitts- burgg Mr. I. E.,Boetticher, former County Superintendent, and G. H. Birrell, prosecuting attorney of Trumbull Co. In 1924 the voters of the township approved a bond issue for the purpose of enlarging and equipping the school plant. The new part includes two recitation rooms, large sanitary toilet rooms and a combined gymnasium and auditorium. Each year new equipment is being added. Last year a motion picture machine was pur- chased, also a fine electrically driven lathe for manual training. At present the school has adequate equipment for manual and domestic arts with a light spacious room for each. Vernon High School displays a fine school spirit, and encourages many extra curricular activities, namely, basketball, both girls and boys, music, a boys' glee club and a girls' glee club, orchestra, operettas, etc., dramatics, de- bates and literary contests. The trend of education in Vernon has al- ways been in the direction of progress and we hope the future of the school may live up to the standard set by its past history. 4-
