Odebolt High School - 1915 Year Book

THE 1915 AURORA

First yearbook of Odebolt High School

HISTORY OF ODEBOLT HIGH SCHOOL

     The building of the High School dates back to the year 1899. Since that time many alterations have been made. Mention can not be made of all of these.
     There are now three courses, namely, the Latin, English and Normal Training Courses. The Normal Training Course was added in 1912, and with it a Domestic Science room.
     The number of students and alumni has increased immensely from time to time. This year has recorded the largest attendance in high school.
     Athletics have taken a predominating place in our school. Basketball, football, baseball and last year a tennis court have received the enthusiastic support of the students.
     The latter part of the preceding year two literary societies, Phi Sigma and Lincoln Forensic, were organized.
     In 1912, music was introduced into the high school and a girls' "Glee Club" was formed.
     The Parent-Teachers' Association was organized in 1913, and Teachers Club this year.
     Our faculty has increased until there are now six in number, with a man-teacher as principal.
     Many improvements have been made to the building itself such as the addition of recitation rooms, larger library, drinking fountains, and equipments for the Domestic Science and laboratory rooms.
     Each year has witnessed some new improvements; each has handed down some record of progress. If the future can be judged form the past, we need no prophet to foretell a great future for the Odebolt High School.
