PRESENT The Marble Hill School, or as it is affectionately referred to, “the little school”, houses kindergarten and first grade. There are also three mobile classrooms at the site. The main building contains, the junior high wing, two elementary wings, two high school wings, kitchen, multi-purpose room that doubles as the cafeteria, nurses’ of- fice, library, and the administrative offices. The building of native stone was erected in 1940 as a W.P.A. project. It now has modern facilities, although at the time it was completed, they were almost completely lacking. When this building was first used, the number of teachers varied from two to four for the eight grades, depending on the fluctuating population of Marble Hill. In 1955. the rural schools of Hog Creek. Hamestring. and Thornburgh, all east of Marble Hill became part of the consolidated district, known as Marble Hill C-l. In 1957 it became part of the Bol- linger County District R-IV. later named Woodland R-IV. The building is still used for kindergarten and first grade. Several generations of Lutcsville and Woodland students be- gan their education in this building. When they return, they are always amazed that the “big cafeteria is so “tiny”, and those long” set of steps are so short”. There are three mo- bile classrooms. One is used for a kindergarten classroom and the other two are used for remedial classes. In 1959. the first wing of the new school plant was fin- ished. It was used by grades three through sixth until 1963 when it became the junior high wing. There were no kitchen facilities, so the noon meal was brought over by station wag- on and served at the end of the hall. Mr. Clubb. the principal, had a small office (now used as a storage room) near the fur- nace room. On September 29. 1963 the new school was dedi- cated. The 1964 CARDINAL stated: There were no regrets as school began in the new building in the fall. The newness of almost everything made for a pleasant beginning of the new school year. Students will remember that the cafeteria and kitchen facilities were still unfinished and that for sever- al weeks they had sack lunches. Some difficulties were en- countered during the year — furnace failures, roof leaks, elec- trical wiring problems, etc., but for the most part everything went smoothly. The gym. and vocational agriculture department were finished in 1967. From 1963 until 1967. the physical educa- tion and vocational agriculture classes were bused to the old buildings in Lutesville each hour for their classes. The gradu- ation ceremonies were held in the multi-purpose room from 1963 until the new gym was completed. The first class to graduate in the new gym was the class of ’68. In 1986, a new set of bleachers was purchased. This was a wonderful improvement because you no longer had to worry about anything” or anyone falling through. With the completion of the gym. the entire school, with the exception of kindergar- ten and first grade, was finally located at one site. The gym has bleacher seating for 850-900 people, a stage, senior stand and dressing rooms. The building also contains the vocational agriculture classroom and shop. The auto mechanics building includes a classroom and a large area to work on cars. The bus garage is used to work on the 25 buses The building was constructed during the 1980-81 school year by the last builders owned and operated by the school. It was built trade class. in 1971.

YEARBOOK STAFF The production of a yearbook is a time consuming and difficult job. Many hundreds of hours are spent taking pictures, identifying pic- tures, selling ads, selling year- books, writing copy, typing copy, proofreading pages and attending all events in order to cover the school year completely. Each year we strive to make the yearbook a keepsake that will always help you remember the school year.
