F OREWORD We, the Class of 1942, now reach the finish of our high school life. In order that our class may not be forgotten, we have compiled this annual. The main purpose of our 1942 Echo staff has been to record the students, the events, and the spirit of our last year at Wharton high school. Have we succeeded? I, the editor of The Echo want to thank thenstaff and Mr. Zuber and Mr. Stout for their part in the preparation of this book. We have worked hard to accomplish this, and only by co- operation has our labor been rewarded. CAROLYN SECRIST. Editor.

I - 'st .' a W - . g t 'Rigi- WHARTON SCHOOL HISTCRY The first school building in Wharton was located just north of the present school building where Mr. Sout, our superintendant, now lives. X In 1870 a new building was erected on Nlmin street on the lots where Mrs, Martha Passet's and Nelson Wickiser's homes stand. The first, second, and third grades occupied the lower floor of the brick building. and the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades occupied the upper floor. The frame building, which was moved across the street and is now used asa. wr- bin's garage, was occupied by the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. In these buildings some of the mothers and fathers of the class of 1942 received a part of their education. The first and only graduates were Ray Bristoll and Rea Cramer. Through the efforts of A. O. Suber a new building was chartered in 1903, and it wa: ready for use in the fall of 1905. This new szhool was located just west of the present building. ' . In 1922 the' new centralized school buil ling was opened for classes. The old building was destroyed by fire in 1928. The following summer three additional rooms were added to the new school building. O. A. Suber was superintendent until 1914. Since then our superintendents have been as follows: E. A. Baughman, E. L. Hartley, N. Younger, H. B. Zulauf, Dale Heskett. L. F. Manhart. R. K. Derrickson and George Stout. A picture of the school house, in the year of 1870, can be found in this annual. . .. as- . .- nee, 1, .-.
