Interesting bunch of articles Kathy. I wonder when the high school in Higbee did get built? Does anybody know? My grandfather I believe attended the Higbee high school. He was born in 1901 so I am guessing the high school must have been built not too many years after this article ran. Some people may not realize this but in the early 1900s kids sometimes had to go live in another town (one which had a high school) in order to get an education past the 8th grade. My own grandmother (born 1903) told me that when she was 15 she went away to a bigger town and worked as some one's maid in order to take high school courses. She was very keen on getting as much education as she could. I have an old report card of my grandfather's from the Higbee grade school. It is pretty neat to have! It would make you laugh to see some of the things they use to grade kids on. Carole
