| Historical context: | The Asheville School
for Girls was created in 1911 by a group of Asheville families to
provide a "high class school for their daughters that shall be
worthy of the beautiful city in which it is located and sufficiently
equipped to accommodate a limited number of pupils from a
distance." A building, the home of Col. N. W. Woodfin, was chosen
at the then "head of North Main Street," It had a small boarding
department for pupils who came from locations outside of Asheville.
The mission of the school was to prepare girls for "true colleges of
high grade and to give those who may never enter college such
through instruction in the ordinary courses of study and such
wholesome discipline that they will become well educated, refined,
and sensible women."
The School changed its name in 1915 or 1916 to "Oakhurst" and continued its same mission. The catalogue for Oakhurst's Sixth Session 1916-1917 describes the programs in detail for that session and provides additional historical information on the School. See Asheville School for Girls in the D.H. Ramsey Special Collections Vertical Files for additional information regarding the foundation of the school and its early years. |

THE FACULTY Each member of the faculty has been selected for her particular department, because of her special fitness as a scholar and as an educator. The aim has been to select instructors, not alone for their possession of college degrees, but for their additional credentials of thorough training in accredited normal schools, and also for their successful experience in developing power, and imparting knowledge in the class room. Several have also had the advantage of foreign travel and study, and hold diplomas from European colleges. The following American institutions of learning have representatives in the faculty: University of Columbia. |

| page 8 | WE BELIEVE "That the training of the senses should always have been a prime object in human education." That pupils learn by actual seeing, hearing, touching. That there should be more hand, ear and eye work, such as: drawing, sewing, cooking. More time given to chemistry, physics, biology, botany. That every child has a right to a greater capacity for enjoyment, and of a greater capacity and desire for the giving of joy. That the real teacher's task is to properly expand the potentialities and spiritualities stored in the mind of a child, hence, teachers should be able to distinguish between counterfeit knowledge and genuine, between mere memory work and actual mental and moral growth. As a gifted educator has put it: "The aim of teaching should be to make pupils high minded, appreciative, thoughtful, efficient participators in the world's affairs by seeing to it that the school curriculum provides problems of mental, moral, esthetic and economic development, in order that the child may receive a psychological as well as a logical training." We believe that such a training should appeal to the practical sense of a community, recognizing as it must the needs and demands of modern times, and how necessary it is to prepare the child to be able to face life's problems with sufficient wisdom and judgment in order to better interpret the changing conditions of a progressive civilization, so as to be competent to make proper self adjustment in harmony with those new conditions. |

OAKHURST This institution was founded in 1910 under the name of Asheville School for Girls, by a group of public-spirited citizens to satisfy a home demand and to extend to a limited number of out of town students the educational opportunities of a modern, well equipped school combined with the healthful advantages of life in the beautiful City of the Sky. Asheville itself is too well known to need description. Its verdure clad mountains and crystal streams, its sparkling water, drawn from the slopes of the Black Mountain, six thousand feet above sea level, and its world famous climate render it an ideal situation for a school. Through the Southern Railway it secures prompt connections over a wide territory, North, East, South and West. The school, advantageously located in the quiet of an exclusive residential section near the Charlotte Street car line, occupies a handsome building of twenty-four spacious, well lighted rooms in every way attractive and homelike in their appointments. The building is perfectly lighted and heated. Fire escapes are provided, and bathrooms on every floor. No expense has been spared to satisfy the demands of perfect sanitation, convenience and good taste. SCOPE AND PURPOSE The School lays no claim to the title of College. Its aim is rather to prepare girls for colleges of high grade and to give those who may never enter college such thorough instruction in the ordinary courses of study and such wholesome discipline that they will become well educated, refined, and sensible women. |
 |
|
| page 10 | Although
it is becoming widely recognized that the training that fits for
college fits equally well for life, there is still a preference on
the part of many who do not plan to send their daughters to colleges
to substitute other studies for the work in Mathematics and Latin.
To meet the needs of both classes of students two Academic Courses
are offered.
HEALTH Every precaution is taken to guard the health of the pupils. The regularity of life, good, wholesome, well-cooked food and daily walks all tend to a gain in health. The tonic altitude of Asheville, its radiant atmosphere and almost uninterrupted sunshine are important factors in maintaining a high standard of vitality. The city's water supply is world famous, unrivalled in purity and sparkle. The milk of the Biltmore dairies, so widely known for their sanitary situation and methods and for the purity of their products, is used exclusively. Regular exercise is prescribed, on an outdoor playground, except during inclement weather, under the personal supervision of a resident Director of Physical Culture. Hot luncheon (by special arrangement) makes it possible for day pupils to remain during the afternoon to prepare their lessons under the care of a teacher, and to enjoy the opportunities for games and other forms of recreation offered by the location of the school. THE HOME LIFE Because of the small size of the boarding department, boarding pupils do not lose the advantages of being members of a family, yet at the same time they avoid the interruptions and distractions of home life. For the same reason no elaborate system of rules is 10 |
 |
|
| page 11 |
necessary and few restrictions are insisted upon, beyond those that
ordinarily govern the conduct of a well bred young woman. Obedience,
courtesy, promptness, and neatness are inculcated upon all.
Although school work is the prime object of the student life, there is opportunity for much wholesome pleasure. The beautiful lawn and wide porches, tennis and basketball call the girls to an outdoor life. It is hoped that a gymnasium will soon be ready on the campus; meantime the girls receive physical training from a resident Director. Match games in baseball and basketball arouse the keenest interest and the school teams are never without their laurels. But better than gymnastic exercises are the tramps through the woods and over the mountains, which gain greater zest from the study of bird and wildflower and from the inspiring scenery. The social life of the school receives due attention and is regarded as having a distinct importance of its own. In September the "old girls" extend a welcome to the newcomers in the form of an evening reception; October brings the annual Hallowe'en frolic; the Spring and Autumn picnics are anticipated and remembered with keen delight. LITERARY SOCIETIES All girls of the upper classes are expected to belong to one of the two literary societies—the Hawthorne and the Lanier. These are largely self-governing bodies and give practical training intended to develop self-possession, initiative, and independence. At least one Open Session of each Society will be held during the coming year. |

RELIGIOUS TRAINING All boarding pupils are expected to attend Sunday morning services at the Church of their parents' choice. Although the school is strictly non-sectarian, it recognizes the absolutely essential need of religious training and strives to hold its pupils to a high standard of refined Christian living. SPECIAL FEATURES The School Magazine, Attempts Serious and Gay is compiled by the students of the Upper School and is made up of the usual departments and contributions. The Dramatic Club, The Maskers, is a new feature; the membership includes all Upper School pupils who are interested in the study of the Drama and in Dramatic Expression. The Athletic Club has for its members the students who take an active part in the basketball, baseball and tennis games. Asheville affords frequent opportunities to hear good music and interesting lectures and to see good plays. Boarding pupils are encouraged to take advantage of these privileges, conditioned only on the approval of parents and the attendance of a suitable chaperon. 12 |

DEPARTMENTS OF STUDY I. A College Preparatory Course which meets the requirements for admission to the leading colleges for women. II. A General Course made up from the list of required and elective studies and equivalent in standard to the college preparatory course. A diploma will be given to students who have satisfactorily completed either course of study. A certificate, granted at the discretion of the faculty, admits to the leading colleges without examination. Special courses are planned for girls who have graduated from High Schools. In these courses certificates are given for all work completed. Pupils coming from other schools are given an informal test to ascertain their correct standing, if they are not able to offer credits. Because of the limited number of students and the large number of teachers, "individual attention to individual needs" becomes a prominent feature of the instruction. Careful study is made of the natural aptitudes and the deficiencies—real or apparent—of every pupil, and a reasonable degree of success can thus be assured. It is considered best in most cases for pupils to conform to the courses of study as outlined in the catalogue. In no case, however, is a pupil allowed to overtax her strength. ENGLISH The purpose of the English Department is to offer not only a thorough College Preparatory Course, but also a general course that will meet the needs of those students who do not intend to go to college. The 14 |
 |
|
| page 15 | aim is to
develop ease and accuracy in the expression of thought, facility in
the use of good English, ability for systematic work and a love for
the best that has been written.
Throughout the course in Grammar, Rhetoric and Composition, emphasis is put upon frequent and original written exercises. Personal criticism is given to the work of each pupil. The primary aim of the study of Literature is to develop the appreciation of the students, to enable them to become acquainted with an author through his writings and not through biography alone. The lists for study and parallel reading are chosen from the College Entrance Requirements, but such changes may be made as individual classes seem to demand. latin The course in Latin is planned to meet the requirements for entrance to the standard colleges as set forth by the College Entrance Examination Board. The work in prose composition and grammar is continuous and thorough. Great emphasis is placed upon translation at sight, both from Latin into English and from English into Latin. A two-fold purpose is kept in mind: to lead the student to an intelligent and appreciative interest in the authors read and to a realization of the practical value of the study of the language. MATHEMATICS This course includes the study of Arithmetic, Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. The effort is made to train the mind to clear and accurate thinking and to develop the reasoning powers. Much attention is given to analysis and original demonstration of geometrical propositions. 15 |

FRENCH French is taught by a native teacher. Great attention is given not only to accurate translation into English, but also to have the pupil understand the spoken word and take part in conversation. Pupils are required to write at dictation and to memorize French Poetry. Much stress is laid on verbs, the study of which begins in the lower school. GERMAN This course includes the usual study of. Grammar and Composition and the reading of German prose. The direct method is used in part. Much care is given to pronunciation and to the memorizing of German Poetry. history The course includes Mythology, Greek and Roman History, English, Mediaeval and Modern European, Advanced American, featuring Civil Government. The study of the text book is supplemented by note book work—illustrations, diagrams, outlines, maps—parallel reading and research work. The Upper School students also take part in a weekly Current Events class. Local, national and international events are covered; lectures on special themes by the teacher, debates and editorial writing give variety and interest to this important study. MUSIC The Music Department receives pupils from six years of age upwards, and guarantees unimpeded opportunities for serious study. It has not been deemed advisable to adopt any particular set of studies but rather to select a course to suit the needs of the individual pupil. The advantage of class meetings is 16 |

|
| page 17 | given in
which the opportunity is secured of seeing the work of others and of
gaining confidence by playing to an audience. Frequent recitals also
carry out this line of work.
Candidates for a Certificate in Piano will be required to make music a major study for at least four years, to pass satisfactory examination and to play from memory a Recital Program of classical and modern numbers of an advanced grade of difficulty. Primary Course—Thorough course in technique; the teaching of an easy and natural position of the hand; scales and triads in simple forms; selected studies and pieces. Elementary Course—Further development of technical work; major scales and arpeggios. Studies and Sonatinas selected from the works of Kohler, Gurlitt, Czerny, Clementi, Kuhlan and Mozart amplified by easy pieces of classic and modern composers such as Schumann, Heller, Reinecke, Schytte and others. College Preparatory Course—Scales, major and minor; arpeggios and chords of the seventh in this various positions; Bach's works; studies selected from Hasert, Le Conppey, Loeschorn and Heller. Selections from Mendelssohn and the easier sonatas of Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn. ART DEPARTMENT The idea underlying the art training is to make it actively useful, to apply it directly to every day living, and to the creation and expression of ideals, for only by the actual working out of the ideal does it become a tangible possession. Practical and theoretical instruction in the principles of drawing, design, and painting will be given. Work is also offered in Arts and Crafts. Opportuni- 17 |
 |
|
| page 18 | ties for
work from the living model and for out-of-door sketching are
provided for advanced students. To prepare for European travel and
to awaken an interest in the love of the beautiful a course in the
history of art is offered in the General Academic courses. Each
student makes her own note book, using Perry and Cosmos prints to
illustrate her notes.
ART OF EXPRESSION The aim is to give thorough training in the art of natural expression. The course includes reading aloud as an added charm to the home circle and as a means of culture. Nothing in woman shows greater refinement and culture than a soft, well-modulated voice. Correct habits of breathing, both for health and more perfect use of the speaking voice, are taught; correct habits of enunciation and articulation; correct carriage of the body; and clearer and better modulated tones in conversation and reading. HOME ECONOMICS The course in cooking deals with foods and their relation to life. The students plan, cook and serve simple meals. It is designed to familiarize a girl with the best form and methods, to show how to economize with money, time and labor, and to enable her to appreciate, direct and simplify the labors of those working for her. The course in sewing is designed to enable a girl to do altering, mending, and the ordinary family sewing with neatness, ease, and intelligence, and best of all to appreciate well-made articles. Notes will be taken on home nursing, invalid cookery, laundry, sanitation and textiles. 18 |
