: " THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "Serving Th« Chaia-O-LakM Regioa Slice 1875" Thursday, June 10, 1965 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section Three -- Page One HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES LARGEST CLASS Long, Proud History Of MCHS Is Recalled fflJWH Photos by Rurti J McHenry high school has a long, proucf history of growth and progress which will take on special meaning to the large class of graduates who receive their diplomas this week Thursday evening, June l'O! This progress extends back to the first record of MCHS graduates -- 1892. Until the year 1919 the high school district included only the city of McHenry and was supported by the present grade school district. Impelled by a few leading citizens, an election was held on Sept. 20, 1919, for the purpose of forming a new high school district. At this - early date the district included all of McHenry township with the exception of a strip along the northwest side, and also took in a two-mile piece of Nunda township with the exi ception of four square miles lying just south of Lakemoor. In 1940 the Wonder Lake district was added by petition and the district then included sixty square miles. Later, the Griswold Lake grade, school district was added in the same manner. With the enlargement of the high school district in 1919 the school boasted ninety students, of which thirteen were to become the first graduates of the new Community high school. These 1920 graduates included George Barbian, William Brunswick, Genevieve Carey, Jennie Mae Cooley, Frank Doherty, Blanche Myers, Clarence Niesen^ Harvey Nye, Rosemary Nye, Kathleen O'Reilly, Mary Smith, Elsie Vycital and Robert Weber. Four teachers were responsible for making graduation possible for these seniors in this memorable year. They were Miss Blanche D. Pryor, Miss Dora C. Kenny, Miss Monroe and O. G. Treadway. Little did these thirteen seniors or their faculty advisors realize then that less than a half century later the graduating class would have increased in number more than twenty times, having completed their four years in well equipped classrooms of new and modern buildings. Until the erection of the new high school in 1924, grade and high school classes were h^ld in the same building. In 1920 and 1921 flie gymnasium of the present Landmark school was used as an assembly hall for high school students. In 1922 a portable annex, which included two classrooms and a library, was added to the east of that building. The previous year of 1921 it became the hope of many citizens that McHenry would have a new and modern school building, and in a special election in December of that year their dream became a reality. More recently, additions were made in 1950 to the east of the original building which faces Main Street, including the present gymnasium, and in 1958, the structure to the south of the old section. Enrollment continues to keep pace with the ever growing population of the McHenry area, and an expansion program of some kind is imminent. Looking at the class of 1965, one is confident that the expenditure in time, effort and money for their education has been one of our most worthwhile undertakings. www1? (is y.„. jj. .
