The pupils in the Stayton High School are carried through the tenth
grade. This embraces Latin, Algebra, Business Forms and Book-keeping,
Rhetoric, European History, Etc. There are two school literary societies in
good working condition. Last year the graduating class published a neat
annual, “The Cardinal.” A number of out-of-town pupils are attending the
High School, securing higher branches than in «unie country schools.
