EORANGEW BROWNgll Looking Backward lllfl .FIRST Abilene High School was in one room of the upper floor of the Garfield school building, the principal and members of the faculty consisting of one person. The first class, which had five students, graduated in 1880. The high school was organized under Superintendent A, V. jewett, fol- lowed in turn l y XY. VV. Reed, XY. D. Moulton XY. Grav J H 4 ffiesley, XY. l5..Hall, and VV. .X. Stacey. 6:11, 'X 'l he first real .principal was H, A. Graham, , .,:. .:. 'v and those during lllr. Staeey's superinten- f.

Olney and F. C. Gardner, present head of the high school. After several years in the Garfield, the high school was moved to the upper floor of the eity hall, where it sojourned for fourteen years. In 1907, it was removed to the present Junior High building, which was thought to be a veritable palace. But soon itlproved incommodious, so the present, more spacious structure was built and the high school was transferred to it in 1919, where it has remained ever since. Including this year's graduating class 1240 students have been graduated from A. H. S., about nine hundred of whom re- ceived their diplomas during Mr. Stacey's regime. The school has had ever-victorious basketball, football, track, and baseball teams and has always maintained a very creditable position. Neither is it behind in the more scholarly lines. The normal training department was started about 1914 and has turned out many well-trained teachers. Forty to forty- five per cent of the teachers of this county are graduates of the normal training course of this high school. The school is thor- oughly up-to-date and has the best of equipment, and the stu- dents and faculty are ever full of enthusiasm, loyalty and pep. Ql FT 7fl Page Eleven
