POTOMAC STATE SCHOOL
Potomac State School of West Virginia University was established in 1901 as "The Keyser Preparatory Branch of West Virginia University." Throughout the years of the Twentieth Century Potomac State School has played an important role not only in the educational and cultural life of Mineral County but of Eastern and Central West Virginia.
The establishment of high schools in every community rendered un- necessary the work designated for Potomac State School at the time of its establishment. The aims and purposes of the institution were chang- ed, therefore, and in 1921 Potomac State School became a Junior College. Since 1921 all of the work offered has been of college grade.
Under provisions of the Acts of Legislature of 1935, Potomac State School came under the direct control of the Board of Governors of West Virginia University, and this Board today has full control of the school's educational policy and program. The relationship between Potomac State School and West Virginia University had been a very close one throughout the years and now that they have come under the same Governing Board Potomac State functions in reality as an integral part of the University.
Potomac State School is the only publically supported Junior College in the State of West Virginia. 'The State of West Virginia is to be com- mended for its foresight and wisdom in maintaining a Junior College, as the trend nationally in higher education has placed emphasis upon the establishment and maintenance of institutions of this type. The college offers opportunities of a broad scope to meet the needs of the various classes of students who enroll for college work. Courses are of- fered in Arts and Science, Agriculture, Commerce and Business Admin- istration, Home Economics, Music, Pre-Engineering, Pre-Law, Pre-Medi- cine, and Pre-Education.
Potomac State School is justifiably proud of the high standards that it has maintained throughout its history. The quality of credits earned are guaranteed by the full accrediting accorded the institution by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, by the State of New York, and by the American Medical Association Council for Pre-Medical work. The student body of Potomac State School is a growing one and last year, reached the highest peak of recent years. While several students come to the college from distant points and sever- al states are represented on the campus, the majority of students come from Eastern and Central West Virginia and from the neighboring coun- ties of the State of Maryland.

When Fort Ashby was first settled during the early days of our country many of the conveniences enjoyed today were lacking. One of the most necessary was ice refrigeration. Without ice, food soon spoiled and the health of those hardy pioneers was threatened.
Today the citizens of Fort Ashby, in fact every rural com- munity in this section, can enjoy the conveniences of ice refrig- eration through the Potomac Milling and Ice Company, Key- ser's only ice manufacturing plant. Trucks make regular deliveries of ice, manufactured from pure water drawn from a 210 foot artesian well, to sections that would otherwise be as primitive in their food storing methods as were the first settlers of Fort Ashby.
SPACE IN OUR HUGE STORAGE PLANT IS AVAILABLE.
