Of Interest to "Old Timers"

From the Jefferson Banner, Dec 17, 1925

The following information was gathered from a school report published in the Banner 63 years ago. This was a private school located on North Main Street. Mr. E. Webster Stone was principal.

The report is for the first term, commencing April 28th, 1862, and closing July 17th. During the term each pupil has been marked on a scale of 4 in his or her respective studies; and at the close of the term to the average taken, which appears in this report.

As an incentive to good scholarships, we place the best at the head of the list, the next, second, and son to the close.

First class scholarship from 180 to 200 is perfect; second class from 160 to 180; below 160 is low class.

In the list as published Miss Nellie Trucks ranked first with 197 and W. H. Hake was second with 187. Other students names appeared in the following order: Miss L. A. Crandall, Ella Hillyer, Laura Colburn, Warren Holmes, Cynthia Weymouth, Hattie Stebbins, Kittie Haskell, Mary Hunt, Marieta Stevens, Fred Smith, Lousia Fleming, Fred Van Nostrand, Nicholas Stenaker, Wm. Barr, Elitia Hoskins, Mary E. Grant, Sebra Farver, Ellen Foster, Emma Libingston, George Williams, Franklin Smith, Milton Roberts, Emma Barr, Arabella Crist, Mary Perkins, Arabella Sellon, Wm. Louis, Wm. Struve.

The following persons were in attendance less than half a term and their standings do not appear: Ellen Garfield, Ellen Henry, Nellie Stone, Thomas Brandon, Franklin Reed, Willie Zohrlaut.
