Title	Mechanicsburg High School Commencement Programs
Subject	Education Graduation ceremonies
Place	Mechanicsburg (Ohio) Champaign County (Ohio)
Description	These four commencement programs document the growth of the Mechanicsburg High School and provide insight into its commencement ceremonies. Two students graduated from Mechanicsburg High School in 1880, as shown in this 3" x 5" (8 x 12.5 cm) program. Graduation ceremonies in 1882 were held at the Opera House. The program measures 5" x 6.5" (13 x 16.5 cm). Nine students graduated in 1891, as documented in this 4" x 5" (10.25 x 13 cm) program. The ceremony was sponsored by Schneider Carriage Company, and several of their carriages are displayed on the back cover. The final program from the 1903 ceremony measures 3" x 6.5" (7.5 x 16.5 cm). The complete collection of programs from 1880 to 1977 is housed at the Mechanicsburg Public Library. Nelson and Nancy Lansdale sold two acres to Mechanicsburg Union School for $600 on March 27, 1855. The two-story brick school was built in 1856. An addition and meeting hall were added to the building in 1871 at a cost of $8,000. The school housed 310 students, including elementary and high school students from Mechanicsburg and high school students from neighboring Goshen Township. As the number of students continued to increase, a larger building was needed. A new building was erected on the same site in 1894 to accommodate both elementary and high school students. It cost $35,000 to construct.
