During the following years, the school moved around from place to place. Then in 1856 the school hoard nought the lot behind the Episcopal Church and erected a build- ing which is now the town hall. We shall go across the street to see this historical building. The old town hall was used for many years as a school building. The building is used now by community groups for meetings and bears the plaque of the International Order of Odd Fellows high on its brick front. The crowded school conditions of recent years, once again returned the building to school use. It was used for elementary clas- ses through the 1951-52 school year. Since more space was needed, the school was moved in 18 il to the old Medical College building. 1811

The attendance grew so great that a high school building was erected at the back of the school lot. In 1916 a new high school building was completed on the southeast corner of the school farm lot.
