The
Old Order Changeth - -
The
close of the term of 1924, will witness the passing of the old school
building, that has served so long and so well.
It
was erected in 1904 to meet the ever increasing demand for high school
education in Sharon. The construction was under the supervision of
a school board composed of David Adams,
President; W. Whitehead, Secretary; Alexander
McDowell, Treasurer; J. P. Whitla, J. A.
McLaughry, and J. E. Harris.
The Building cost $69,000, being planned with accommodations for 135
students. Since its opening twenty-one classes have graduated from
this school
Now
with the steady increase in High School attendance the old building
passes to make way for the new building that will provide a fitting home
for Sharon High.
