History

This land that the school stands on was donated by Moses Jewell. A brick building was put up, costing $3000. There was an addition later that was known as the high school. The first graduation took place in 1887.

Sports included football, baseball, boys' and girls' basketball. The team was known as the Young Tigers and wore green and white uniforms. Since 1925 they are known as the Panthers, and wear maroon and gold. [2]

In 1903 the state decided a new high school should be built. There stands in the same spot a three-story brick building. In the new gym the ceilings were too low to play basketball, so games were played at the local opera house, and later on the second floor of city hall.

In 1922 there were 93 students enrolled in the high school, but it only had a seating capacity of 72.

A year later, physical education was required by state law.

The kindergarten class was declared illegal because there was no normal department. [2]

In 1932 the first junior-senior prom was held in city hall, which was decorated with a lot of paper and sweet peas.

The school had then become overcrowded again, so they went to rebuild. Just as they were about to start it was struck by lightning and was burned to the ground. A new building was donated as a way to thank the taxpayers.

In 1935 the band started up with just eight instruments being used by 25 members.

Hot lunch was introduced in 1938.

In 1940 the athletic fields were purchased for $1000 and new buses would take athletes around to games.

The school underwent much construction to accommodate the increasing number of students. Finally in 1971 the school was basically finished. [2]
