I 7 little TD1 Ntqrly IIE BEGINNINGS of the High School can he traced to 1871, when Judge lilontgoinerlv tziught the first school in the county, in the old County House di- rectly opposite the Blodgett House. The next .VL'2ll' at new school wus put up on the site of the present lligh School building :ind Miss M. A. llill presided within it. ln two years the school outgrow its rpun'ters and the clUllg'l'0g2LtlUIl2ll Aeudeniv was rented. llon. N. V. Hur- lztn, J. il0Clll'2LIl. T. A. l':Lrkinson und Miss Kute Keck- ley are znnong the teuchers connected with the School :Lt this period. A new brick building was erected just hack of the little frzune school house in 1881. l'rof. li. M. liridges who wus elected at this time was the first :nun to he dignified with the title of Superintendent. llnder his direction the first three gruduuting clztsses of the school, those of 1884, 1885, and 1886, held their I'4nnnienceinent Exercises. llnder the zidniinistrution of Prof. U. S. Iidwzirds, who succeeded Prof. Bridges, the school building wus declured unsafe and hoard sheds were constructed on the grounds for teinporztrlv use. These were the Meow sheds fznnous in poetrlv and song for nutny years, under which the class of 1888 completed its school life. Supt. F. U. McC'lellztnd the next 'vein' had the honor to grziduzlte the first class from our present High School building. ln 1890 Supt. H. R. Vorhett, who ztfterwurd held the position of State Superintendent, cznne to the school, re- maining four years and graduating ns niztnlv good classes. During his ztdniinistration the school grew rapidly and niuny new features were introduced into the work. 1,l'0lI1lIlCIlt znnong these was the inusicul instruction given throughout the grades by Prof. Parks. VVhen Mr. Corbett assumed the State Superintendency, Prof. Moulton who had previously served as Principal of the High School succeeded him. Supt. Moulton has the longest terni ot service in the High School up to date to his credit. He worked faitlifully for six lvezirs, during which time the school grew so rapidly that the ilentrztl Building und the two wards could not hold all the pupils and at rooni wats rented at the Le Grand Hotel. lVith the :id vent ofSupt. C' . li. Atkinson in WHO, the Cen- tral Annex, sonietiines known as the Boyer Building, he- C2lfIl102II72tl C of the school sqvsteni and this year the old Gernnni C'hurch wus fitted up as at honie for the Eighth Grztde under the nunie of the Wllittitii' School. The room fornierlvv occupied hy the Eighth Grade is now used for High School recitation purposes and with an zidditionzil teucher in the Iligli School it is possible to look after the two hundred pupils in the four grades in the niost thor- ough zind sivstenuitic nntnner ever known in the School. 1. O..L Superintendent elect W. W. Stoner, who will zissunie the duties ut the heatd of the York 'V City Schools for the coming ,-, 5' year, needs no introduction to A the people of York. Ile acted inthe cztpztrccity of A 1'rincip:il of the High School from 1891 to 18518 and resigned p his position to accept the sup- erintendentship of the Seward Schools, from which place he - returns to York. v lfVe feel assured that the high standzn'd which the High M School now enjoys, will con- tinue under his direction. , We Welcome him heartily.

Wl1e11 there are no others to kick, tl1e members practice o11 each otl1er. ' The club motto isg Kiconia est Kicinnaf' which being interpreted is, Kick till yo11 kick out. Tl1e symbol is a kangaroo kicking the kinks out of a coyote. Occassionally they kick a stone wall and get hurt, but a kicker with a sore toe or a sore head, is a martyr and a saint. All students and professors are eligible to membersliip except those who, having lost o11e or both begs, cannot kick. This, a worthy i11stit11tio11, is at present alive and kick- ing, and deserves treatment according to its own precepts. Long may it kick.

A class should always laugh when the professor does, he may have got off an original joke. If the professor becomes engaged he should receive the congratulations of the students with calm, unbl11sl1ing dignity. Sophomore girls should not try to allure Seniors from their meditations upon tl1e hidden mysteries of the un- searchable. Juniors, especially young ones, should be labelled: 'fthey may be taken for Freslnnenf'
