The History of the "Harrison public
school system is art interesting account
of a tiny school growing into a large
and modern system with an enrollment
of more than three hundred students,
a faculty of nine members, and a varied course of study to interest every
student, regardless of what walk of
life he chooses to follow.
The Harrison public school system was established in 1881, foar
years after the settling of Harrison,
and as school began very late in the
year' the term was shortened, but even
then exteneded well into the summer
months.
The first school building iu Harrison was a small log building, which
was hurriedly constructed for temporary use as a Clare County Court house,
compeleted November 1879, and abandoned in 1881 in perferrence of the new
court building, which was erected on
the present court house sit. The log
cabin school was located on the approximate site of the present Clare
County Jail, and was taught by Anna
McCarn. The building, although its
exact size cannot be ascertained, did
not provide adequate space for the
students enrolled, thus the younger
pupils attended school at the home oi*
Rev. and Mrs. Royal Cole, which was
located across the road on the present
school grounds, and were taught by
Mrs. Cole.
During the summer of 1881, with
the boom of lumbering days and the
rapid growth of Harrison, a new large
frame building was constructed for a
school building and fall found it in
readiness for the opening of school.
No records of the log cabin school
days are available, and the only pupil
of the school who still maintains a
residence in Harrison is Mrs. Emma
Hoag, who spends most of the year
with her daughter in Flint.
William Murphy, local-druggist and
Funeral Director, is the first student
of the Harrison public school, of
whom a written record is on file; he
entered school in 1884 at the age oS
three years, and was graduated in
1895.- And according to the gentleman himself, it was not because he
was so smart that he attained a high
school education at such a young age,
but because they were anxious to oe,
rid of him as a pupil. He laughingly;
admits he was no angel, and tells of
the many times Ke had to stand in'
the corner as* a result of his mischiev-
iousness. When still a Bmall lad, he
held dow the job of janitor of the
Harrison school and as his duties:
parsed the "dipper and bucket o_ water
to each student, and carried in "cord
after cord",of fire- wood, . *■
-The first group of students $o complete four years of high school study
in the Harrison" __hb"dl were the class
of 1888 who returned almost a half

The Harrison public school system was established in 1881, foar years after the settling of Harrison, and as school began very late in the year' the term was shortened, but even then exteneded well into the summer months. The first school building iu Harrison was a small log building, which was hurriedly constructed for temporary use as a Clare County Court house, compeleted November 1879, and abandoned in 1881 in perferrence of the new court building, which was erected on the present court house sit. The log cabin school was located on the approximate site of the present Clare County Jail, and was taught by Anna McCarn. The building, although its exact size cannot be ascertained, did not provide adequate space for the students enrolled, thus the younger pupils attended school at the home oi* Rev. and Mrs. Royal Cole, which was located across the road on the present school grounds, and were taught by Mrs. Cole. During the summer of 1881, with the boom of lumbering days and the rapid growth of Harrison, a new large frame building was constructed for a school building and fall found it in readiness for the opening of school. No records of the log cabin school days are available, and the only pupil of the school who still maintains a residence in Harrison is Mrs. Emma Hoag, who spends most of the year with her daughter in Flint. William Murphy, local-druggist and Funeral Director, is the first student of the Harrison public school, of whom a written record is on file; he entered school in 1884 at the age oS three years, and was graduated in 1895.- And according to the gentleman himself, it was not because he was so smart that he attained a high school education at such a young age, but because they were anxious to oe, rid of him as a pupil. He laughingly; admits he was no angel, and tells of the many times Ke had to stand in' the corner as* a result of his mischiev- iousness. When still a Bmall lad, he held dow the job of janitor of the Harrison school and as his duties: parsed the "dipper and bucket o_ water to each student, and carried in "cord after cord",of fire- wood, . *■ -The first group of students $o complete four years of high school study in the Harrison" __hb"dl were the class of 1888 who returned almost a half eenjnry. later to.,, be .granted .-their* .-,., (Continued-:on Page Three) •: CLOTHING SPECIALIST ?R0H MICHIGAN STATE -f ■*■.«■; LIEGE HERE NOV.
