Miriam Ferguson was serving her first term. It has seen many of her students and
teachers go off to war and some never to return.
Stanton, as a high school, a junior high and presently as a learning center has seen
two, three, four, five generations enter and leave her doors; has seen her auditorium
filled for concerts, plays, musicals and graduations; and her gyms have known the
thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Her classrooms have known thousands of
students who have entered many avenues of life with many returning, or staying, to
serve the school and community.
These events, plus many others too numerous to mention, have made, and
continue to make, an everlasting impression on all who have been a part of these
adventures. Stanton has seen a town grow, school enrollment increase, decline and
increase again and it still stands as a guardian of education. The 1926 graduating
class fondly said, 'We cannot help but get inspiration from this beautiful building."
Perhaps this inspiration shall live for generations to come.
