At the beginning of the fall school year of 1934, Mr. Horace CURRY came to Rankin-Reydon school as superintendent. He immediately held a community meeting to build a gymnasium and auditorium in Reydon. After much discussion and effort the community building was built in Reydon where it now stands. It was completed by the spring of 1935 and the eleven senior held their graduating exercises in the building. Mr. CURRY, being quite civic minded, secured funds to erect a high school east of this building. It was built and completed in 1936 and the high school was moved from Rankin to Reydon by 1936 graduating class. In the fall of 1936, the Rankin High School moved to a new building built by the WPA, located in the town of Reydon.
