No school is too large to be uninterested or too small to be able to help in the celebration. Plans have been in formation since 1928, when a national committee was appointed to begin collect ing material and informing schools. By means of radio, news- papers, and magazines, the public is learning of America's Tercentenary. This special issue of the annual 1935 Successue is one of the Union City School's activities in keeping with the national celebration. , But education has not always been available for people all over the United States. The first public school in this country was established in Boston in the year 1655. It was named the NBoston Latin School.N It has had continued exist- ence even to the present day. With one school leading the way, many such schools were established in Massachusetts. In the year l647, twelve years after the founding of the first public school, a law was passed in the state of Massachusetts requiring every town of fifty householders to maintain a master to teach reading and writing, and every town of one hundred householders to maintain a grammar school. The wages of the master were to be paid by the parents whose children took advantage of the instruction. In most of the New England colonies education was considered a public responsibility. New York, Pennsylvania, and the Southern colonies, however, did little in connection with schools preceding the Revolu- tionary Warj A ,i..i.i--.h hi... .-W. t Seoccsses 1 ' The four decades following the Revolutionary War marked W many changes in the school system. Local autonomy gradually gave way to state supervision. Nearly all the states now 1 have laws making education compulsory. Today we recognize .three mein types of public schools: ill The city elementary 1 'end high school, C21 The centralized school which includes e high school and department, and C35 The rural district school which is fest disappearing because of greatly improved methods of transportation. However, we are most interested in the history of the Union City school system--and an interesting story of endeavor and true citizenship it is, too. The first school in Union City was e private one. It M was opened in the fell of 1855 by Miss Mary Ensminger. About M e year later the first public school was opened on e site near the railroads on Columbia Street. When the school was y first opened, George W. Brainnrd and his wife, Emily H. ' Brainerd, the teachers, had seven pupils. The building was 1 destroyed by fire. A new building was erected on the site of the present West Side high school building in 1858. This was n two-story, brick structure with three rooms. Three groups of rooms were added at later times to the building. There were then eight regulation class rooms and an office. In 1882 the school system was composed of four years of primsry'work, two years of intermediate, three yeers of gram- mar grades, end of twelve years one hundred who But before first school on three years of high school, making e total in all. At that time only one child in every entered the first grade finished high school. we advance too fer, another word about that the present location. In 1872 the first high school class was organized by Walter B. Pegs. From those thirteen people came the first graduates of the Union City High School, four of them in the year l876. . The school built in 1858 became, after n quste for the increased educational demands time, inade- of the Union City population. So,in 1891 the building was demolished and a larger end much better one was erected et the some place. There were about three times as many rooms including a large study hall and science lnboratories,' Another velueble eddi- tion to the new building was the Stone Library adjoining the study hell. At collection. r we-r ' nur- 'un ' least two thousand volumes were in the Stone - 1 1 .a...., 1 I V 3 I.

Ml Also, our basketball team was at a disadvantage because of a U gymnasium greatly resembling in shape the main corridor of if our present building. gl In 1895, due to increased attendance, the South Side hi School was built. It was used for many years lartly as a Q, school shop and home economics department. 1:1 Q fy In 1919 the high school building and contents were total wi ly destroyed by fire. The following year tried the ingenuity ti and citizenship of the faculty, civic organizations, and rg citizens. Naturally, the South Side was used to capacity. ,Q The elementary grades met in the Lutheran Parish Hall,the , . pw Presbyterian Church, and the City Library. The Kindergarten ' was housed in the Atlas State Bank building. The seventh and eighth grades were located in the Methodist Church, and the tw high school in the Christian church. hi ' ,H After the hcusing problem was solved, there remained an at even more potent problem--that of constructing a new school ,M house. Many difficulties were met in raising money for the in new building. But by strenuous effort it,was possible for 1 the Alumni Association to raise a large-sum which, combined fd with insurance and three issues of bends, made the money Fm available for constructing and furnishing the building. The w H JS board of education consulted many authorities and traveled iq far to inspect schools that the Union City school might be best fitted to our needs. Our present school is the result lt of careful research. W M Today we have but two reminders of the old building: H the bell mounted in front of the school and a stone tablet M over the Walnut Street entrance. i. The tablet is in the sha e of an open book and on the ' . p . ' . I . f pages are the Latin words HQual1s Schola Talis SivisH-as , I 'F the school so the citizen. The image of the book has been t placed on the school seal which appears on the certificates W, of.recognition and various objects produced in the school or If made specifically for the school's use. .u 3 Y These two tangible objects from that former school are 1 K' held in deep respect by the Union city high school students tg today. They stand for education, achievement, endeavor, and Lg success.

Lf fs QI fi 5 I np' THE BOARD OF EDUCATION At present the Union City Board of Education consists of Mrs. Mary Ames Fitzgerald, presidentg Mr. Wm. H. Grimes, secretaryg and Dr. F. A. Beaty, treasurer. On August first of last year Mr. G. G. Barr retired from the board. His retirement was sincerely regretted by those closely connected with the schools, for Hr. Barr was con- scientious and fair in his dealings as president of the board Besides this he was a true friend of the schools, anxious at all times to further those educational policies which tend to promote an efficient and progressive institution. Dr. Beaty has served for three years as treasurer of the school city, and in that time has been careful and exacting in his duties. State examiners have commended him for the accuracy and appearance of the books of the school city. His previous experience as a teacher has been helpful in board . discussions. Mr. Grimes has taken an unusual interest in his work as secretary of the board. He has been particularly help- ful in certain matters relating to the reduction of insur- ance rates and other fiscal details, such as the budget. He has rendered valuable service as a member of the Randolph County Board of Tax Adjustment. Mrs. Fitzgerald is the first mother to hold a position on our board of education. She has made a capable and impar- tial presiding officer. True to the predictions made for her, she has brought into board discussions the viewpoint of a mother in a way that has been particularly helpful. Her previous service as president of the Mothers' Club has been especially valuable in forming contacts with the mothers of the community. Harlie Garver, superintendent of schools. Hr. Garver attended both Ft. Wayne Central and Union City High Schools for three and one-half years, but due to being a mid-year student went directly to Hiram Colle5e where his secondary work was completed in Hiram Academy. He received the B.S. degree from Hiram and the M.A. degree from Columbia Univer- sity. He also did graduate work at Carnegie Institute of Technology. At Hiram he was editor-in-chief of both the college newspaper and the monthly magazine, and sang in the glee club two years. Columbia University granted him the diploma as superin- tendent of schools, a reward for his high scholastic record even though he had not at that time acquired the necessary experience as superintendent. Previous to his work here he taught in Homestead, Pennsylvania and in Hastings, Nebraska. .F....ie.

We cannot at once improve our schools in cen- eral. More money alone will not do it, much as money is needed. To a large degree that improvement must come by indi vidual schools in individual communities, and generally the improvement will come because a few leaders make it their business to see that their HOW. Suppose that in man or woman should decide make of spare time for the communities have gre t schools. some community an intelligent that the best use he or she can next twenty or thirty yemrs is to work for and with the public schools. Suppose, too, such a person realizes that the heart of a school system is the men and women who teach and administer. TEACHERS. Through a parents' and teachers' association or through other channels the public must be made to realize the difference between carelessness and slovenliness in edu- cation on the one hand, and thoroughboinb sincerity on the other. Illustrations and cases must be constantly provided, because people can understand cases better than theories. A constant search should be made for teachers of exceptional intelligence, sincerity, thoroughness and interest in their work. When a good teacher is found, bring him or her into th community life. Increase the number of men families, who can make careers out of their teachers with work. Try to find the occasional man of energy, intelligence and vigor who sees education as the greatest possible key to the future. career, as the FRCM COMMON PECPLE. It will be said that I have pic- tured an impossible task--that no community ship, or will accept it. It is a difficult schools will reflect the public, and except done, our fine plans to improve our schools to much.

A class as large as ours ought to hmve much talent, and as our class is no exception, it has already proved very promising. Bob Chettin, James Cotter, Bob Ely, Kenneth Worlend, Paul Price, Bob Hilderbrend and Elden Lindley, represented the class in basketball this season, while Betty Jean Shierl- ing, Wendell Riffle, and Bob Chattin were elected to the Student Council. en recognition dey Betty Jeen Shierlinb and Betty Brendon were commended for their participation in recent Latin contests. Cne of the most humiliating happenings of the Freshmen Class was the initiation et one of the Social Hours, when we were made to sit on green kindergarten chairs with 5reen hair ribbons tied around our heads while the rest of the high school laughed and marched around ue. After some time we were allowed to remove the green heir ribbons and were prow nounced full-fledged high school members. Our Christmas party was held et the hone of Ruth Ann Weaver, where we all had a most enjoyable time. We hope that when this school year is over, we may be able to throw off our title, UA Comedy of Errors.N 1142: fflw, TN, , 1 Q .lx p m is P- N:-'NHU' 4k?I my 1 l+,1'If-1 Q1 UU Q1, Lui CI Cn nK P Hx-Lpn P. lf :'.4-I-17?

Due to the fact that there were no mid-year promotions ' to Junior High School, the total enrollment for the first in semester was quite large, ll2 in all, but dropped to 92 the second semester. In addition to sports, class programs, and high school assemblies, there have been a number of class parties, and near the end of the year a camp supper for the entire Junior High School. Such activities help to make a well-balanced program of work and play.

Of cours our school has greatly exceeded the exacting limits of these seven principles, but there are still outstanding evidences of them.

Grammar training has included diagnostic and achievement tests and remedial exercises, often developed at individuel need and speed. Opportunity for fluent and 'I correct spe discussions och has been offered in the tslas, reports, group , and conversational recitetions.

U WHEMISTRY: Chemistry, which was dropped from the schedule due to c decreased budget, has again been offered this year. Although it has been proved in the past that it is advisable to make chemistry a foundation for further scientific research in academic fields, attention in this course has been paid especially to the use of the fundamental laws in everyday ' life. The laboratory equipment is such that the student has the opportunity of actually applying the textbook materiel in his everyday life activity.

Not only have the members carried on their usual worthy projects, but they have tried many new plans, all of which have been highly successful. This year the high school mothers were included in the membership of the club. Two mothers for each class were appointed Wclass councilorsu according to the plan that was begun last year. They assisted in the social activities of the school. , ' The club also made possible the financing and making of uniforms for the school band. Several of the mothers gave their own time and effort in the furtherance of this worthy project. Surely it has proved time and money well spent be- cause of the many programs and games in which the band has made a striking appearance. At the close of the year they donated money for an oboe, an instrument that will be used in Umlmmt , Another kind of good work of the Mothers' Club was the starting of an Employment Bureau and the new plan for the Thrift Shop. The Employment Bureau was begun in order that any girl who wished to work in her spare time might do so. Girls wish- ing such employment submitted their names and qualifications to the club. The Thrift Shop was carried on this year through the various teachers who distributed clothes to families where they were needed. At a recent meeting it was decided that a 850 -no L............. ....,.......-.... , . , l..: f'i::1ii sc EC Q S sus scholarship will be presented to some senior who with this additional help will be able to gc to college next year. We must not forget an outstanding activity of the Moth- ers' Club--the distribution of milk to the undernourished childrex in school. Money was made for this purpose by sever- al different plans. The newest and most successful plan was nTag Dayu. The club greatly appreciated the fine spirit of cooperation and the contributions of school patrons and friends. Of course, much was realized from the annual chili supper of Novehber'27, and from the card party of April 25. The milk fund was increased by the amount of S255.52. The club is also interested in the furtherance of social activities in the school. On December 20, they entertained the Junior and Senior high schools with a Christmas party held in the gymnasium. The party was conducted on the plan of a fair with tickets issued to the various shows. The rest of the evening was occupied with dancing, a Christmas story, and refreshments. The following day, December 2l, a party was given for the lower six grades. There have been several worthwhile programs at the meet- ings. Two of the outstanding of these were a by Dr. Thurman Rice of the Indiana University eine and a discussion WPrcgressivc Educationu Johnson, principal of the Burris Experimental cie. A prograh in which pupils from various grades gave current events and a play presented by the Public Speaking Glass were also interesting contributions to the meetings.

Perhaps there is no time as at present that every one becomes alumni minded. No doubt the question never appears directly, but who actually has tried to penetrate the meaning or what it stands for? To one who might be interested, the organization made up of graduates of this high school, and commonly called the Alumni Association, is the one common link, connecting our uneventful, everyday lives with the activities of the school that we love, and also calling to our minds, the happy carefree school days that now seem childish, but ever cheerful. This organization especially has accomplished many things. It has lived for many years, and continues to grow through the support of its loyal members and officers. Interest is again being revived among its members, which is an apparent indica- tion of better understanding of its efforts. One of its big activities and one of which it is indeed proud is its annual banquet, tendered to the incoming class and its members. This event has always been considered a real part of the school's closing program and always climaxes the big week of festivities. 4 J f'i9s?5QQf t SLJCCC S SUS - 4-.1......fH-M' Q There is always the best relationship between the asso- ciation and the school proper. The two work hand in hand, thus proving that cooperation produces the friendliest atti- tudes. Every graduate can feel proud to be part of it. It is one of the most active organizations of its kind in this sec- tion of the country, and can boast of good assetts. May it be said that there are evidences still available, giving this organization's capabilities. It has lived and it shall continue to live. The Alumni Association of the Union City High School extends to the Senior Glass best wishes for success in its efforts to produce a worth while annual for the school as one of its last accomplishments. --James Young, President of Alumni Ass'n.
