John V. Toulme, Mayor in 1893 set aside the money ($3,800.00) out of the meager revenues of the city for the purpose of erecting the present school building, he was threatened with indictment, it is said, by the grand jury, for misappropriation of funds. An annex was built very much against the consent of the majority, during the Edwards' administration, in the early part of 1906, Mr. Edwards finding money to do it, without a flotation of bonds. A picture of J. V. Toulme, the indomitable pioneer of free schools, now hangs in the school auditorium, and is put in this brochure as an honored tribute to his manly character. There should be one  of John D. Edwards beside it, as he stemmed the popular tide, and built the Annex. (CCS)
