-8 Program ote Y Prior to 1923 high school and grade school were conducted m the same building In 1917 the Community High School Law was passed and a new Board of Education was elected consist ing of Ira White Wallace Bass Sr Foster Black Howard Gomgam and Louis Gomgam Sr In 1922 a bond issue was approved and construction on the high school was started The new S105 000 school first opened its doors in january 1923 The first principal in the new building was Charles Melton. The following year the school proved itself eligible for membership in the North Central Association, and has been a member since that time. In the past few years numerous improvements have been made around the building. New curtains and blinds for the auditorium, new instruments for the band and a continual supply of new music. The lighting of the football field and new bleachers have helped to boost our cham- pionship team. The home economics department has been modemized and now contains three small kitchens. Last but not least are the busses provided for those living in the country. We have progressed from two teachers and 33 students in 1890 to ten teachers and 148 stu- dents in 1952. May the succeeding classes have as an enjoyable time as we have had.
