Page from booklet described by Karen Mentzer
Transcription: Picture was taken October 15, 1915 of the entire student body. Grades 1-12 attended this school
for 10 or 11 years until the present grade school was built for grade school students. Later two cupolas
were added to the attic where two classes, band and science, were held. Shortly after World War II the
attic was removed, leaving a flat roof. The last class graduating from this school was in 1956, when the present
high school was built, and the building became a junior high.

In 1975 this building was torn down, and junior high students were sent
to the high school.

Photos and information contributed by
the Fairgrounds Museum, Myrtle Point, OR
and from Karen Mentzer who wrote
"In High School we did a booklet on the history of Powers and then a
phone directory that had some seperating pages showing 'Powing' in it's
infancy and also the Jr. high before it was torn down."
