It will be our aim to give an account each month of the activities of our school. In others words, we want the public to know that the Ylorgan County High School is on th e. map and is one of the most progressive schools of the state. vVe trust that this publication will meet with your hearty approval and support. The first hopes of a high school in Morgan county came to us when we were nearing graduation from the eighth grade. Our principal, Mr. Henry B. Fry, was to co me back home to NJ:rorgan and teach the first year high school along with th e eigh th grade of South Morgan. Our g raduating class, 1911. was th e largest ever turned out in the county, numbering thirty-nine . Th e next school term fo und twentv-two Freshmen in the :-Iorgan High. l\Ir. Fry was both in structa'r and guardian, for th ere were no Se niors to take care of us. 3 ~ Our Sophomore year was a great and e.ventfu l one. The most important eve nt was the Parent's An nual Visiting Day at t he sc hool where resolution s were passed in favo r of a ne.w home. The result, in our favor, of the s pecial election showed the foundation the resolution had. The board then took steps to bu ild a new high school. The contracting company went bankrupt after g-etting the building up and plastering on the lower flo or done. As a result we spent our Junior rear in the public school. We had school actiYities from the fir st. In basket ball last yea r we won in our distri ct, tied the county and town teams, won fro m the Eva nston High Schoo l. and went clow n into defeat at the hands of the more experience d l1righarn players after show in g them :-;ome. fast work. Jn music and dramatic s we sc reel s;.1ccess by tak.i ng three productions out of town. l ◄or our parties and dances we rented the town hall, and for the financial purposes; nearly always invited the people of Morgan co unty to join with us. In this way we kept the high schoo l spirit high in the hearts of the· citi zens who seemed as one with us. The bondsmen finishecl the b uildin g· w ith fe.w exceptions. and now we are launchecl in our new home w it·h joy and determinatio n to make our schooling a success. The boys in carpentry take pride in makin g locke rs and tab les for the school and all help clean up th e ground s with true patriotism. The students of the ::\Jorgan County High School very greatly appreciate the efforts of our prin cipa l, ::\fr. Fry. and the board in establishing the sc hool. "\Ve sincerely thank th e citizens and taxpayers for the hearty support they haye giYe11 them ;rncl us. "\i\Te extend a hea rty invitati on to you to visit o ur scho ol and your schoo l. Ou r bu ild ing is heated with steam. The radiators in each room are connected with a thurm ostat, thus elimi nating the nois:· blow-off. I The radiators extend full length under the windows and are cased in. The heat escapes only from t he top. insuring mor e comfort ancl 1,etter circu lation.

In lookin o- back over the history of the. Morgan County High Sc hool, one n~ust regard its rapid development as most miraculous. In the fall of 1911, the high school began to take firm footing. The first year saw a sturdy bunch of t wenty-two s tudents and one in structor, .Principal H. D. Fry', working hard against a thousand difficulties; yet neYer haYing the least idea of the great fo undati on they were laying. One room comprised the spa cio us apartments of the school in the present grade building. All went we ll , and the next year, 19 12, saw Morgan County High . School so mewhat enlarged. Two more. teachers were aclclecl to the iacufty. Domestic art and sc ience were introduced. Botany and · zoology foun d eager subjects to pu zzle and stall. ::\1r. and ::\1rs. Ralph Porter had come into the school with the d et erminati on to a id in the. placing of the institution un a higher level. But what about the enrollment of th e school all this time? Simpl y this : more and mo re s tudents w ere cro~v ding in a ll the tim e. The school was spr eading beyond its form er bounds. Rooms were. fitted 11p in the basement of the old bu ilding ;md sti ll the quarters were inad equate. F in all y the co urt hous e was pressed into se rvice, but even 1 hen th ere were not sufficient accomm odations. In May, 1913, bonds were voted in Morgan county to provide a new building. "\Vhen the election tu rned out in our favor, our joy knew no bounds. Jn August. the erect ion of the magnificent new building hegan. The bui lding was to have been finished by the following January. but the s udden failure of the contractors put a damper on things. . vV e. were anxious to get into our new abode as Mr. R. L. Fenton and Miss Clare Hyde were w ith us, and we wished to take advantaO'e of the splend id opportunities offerer! by their courses, for :.\fr. F~1ton had introduced manual t ra inin g. Tn the fall of 1914, our g reatest hopes were realized. For there in th e heart of ~forgan City, facing the Lincoln highway, one of the mos t magnificent high school buildings in the state had been erecte d at a cost of nearly $25,000. The exterior of the. building is in maroon an d white, our colors. The inter ior is very well planned. The fini sh of the woodwork is one not commonly see n in public buildings . The gymna sium will be the equal of any in the. state as soon as it ·h as heen fully equ ipped . Sixteen rooms are already well occupied. Th e year 1914-1915 is going to be a very important one. Vie have fo r principal. T-I. n. Pry, in stru ctor in E ng li sh. arithmetic. historv and mu sic. Mr. Fenton ha s classes in agriculture, manual traini~g. physics and general science. ::\1iss Hyde is in charge of the :ile:ebra. domestic sc ience and domestic art. R. R.

The future of the high school is in our hands. fellow students. Goel gTant we may prove true to thi s sacred trust. ~u==~ococ:==~ococ:==:::iococ:==:::io coc::==~ g ATHLETICS oc01 r.==~ocor===:::iococ:==:::ioco,c===:::i g q .;u==::::::r.1ocor===:::iococ:==:::iocor===::: ioco URg gTHEMANOFTHEHO oco~•==~n oco,c::==:::ioco ==:::ioco :\1r.
