THE HISTORY OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL Education has always been considered a necessity in the building of this community. At first elementary training was sufficientg but time proved the need of higher education, so high school subjects were first offered in the year of 1903. Only freshman subjects were offered then, but later a three years' course was planned. High school and elementary classes were held in the same building, a six room frame structure located where Central now stands, and at the Cass building. A few years later Central became an accredited high school. The first class to graduate from the four-year course was in 1912. There were four in this class. In the year of 1918 the state qualification laws became so strict that a movement was begun to establish a building large enough to accommodate all the high school of Cass Township. This movement resulted in the erection of a splendid structure which is one of the best equipped and most beautiful school buildings in Indiana, and its enrollment makes it the largest township school in the state. This building was dedicated in 1921 and named Union High. Time has necessitated the addition of new rooms to care for the ever-increasing enrollment. The latest addition was an annex to care for all seventh and eighth grade students of the township. Cass Township should be proud of Union High School. It has a splendid faculty of fourteen teachers and an efficient superintendent. It also boasts of five junior high teachers. This year approximately 550 students were enrolled at Union in grades from seven to twelve. It has been sending out from fifty to sixty graduates each year. The largest class, containing sixty-seven members, was graduated in 1935. A large number of eighth grade pupils pass into high school each year. THE TIPPLE Page three

Oh, we might have a few new tutors. Just because some found their suitorsg Some get married, others die- That's the only change in Union High, In class rooms here we find Many species of every kind: Osborn, Leaman, and Miss Rowe And of course Stegemoller, who rules the show. Then Haskell Osborn the basketball tutor Can't say a word to his wife that will suit her. Purcell and Goble think the Freshies a pest But that ain't nothin'-so do all the rest. Now Jessie and Johnnie are the best, Johnnie married Jessie to give her a rest. Steiner and Braatz you see Just the same as they will be, For as soon as they can pay the preacher They will cease to be a teacher. Dugger and Mitchell won't hook up yet Until they find a better bet. Aikman doesn't like men at all. But We know that's just a stall. She likes men as all the gang, She just ain't seen one she can hang. But we wish them all success For now we'll all confess, 'Twas golden days we spent hereg And as to future life we steer, With education and all that dope, We'll strive to win with fight and hope.
