HISTORY OF THE OENTRALIA HIGH SCHOOL The Centralia High School owes its establishment to the efforts of Mr. Borst. In the first year of its history, there were twenty pupils enrolled. The first class to receive diplomas was the class of 1893, which had ten graduatesg the class of 1894 had eight graduates, the next year there were none. However, in 1896 there were thirteen graduates, and the following year nineteen. The enrollment has increased until, in the present year, 1913, there are two hundred eighty stu- dents. Including the eighth grade, which is also in the High School, there is a total attendance of three hundred ninety-five. This year there are twenty-seven to receive degrees. From 1901 up to the present time, one hundred fifty-two stu- dents have graduated from the Senior class. At first the pupils were placed in what is now known as the Lincoln building, then the only school in town, in a room with the grade pupils. On the following year, the Edison school was built, and the High School was moved to that build- ing. This year there was an increase of fifty-seven pupils. Mr. Borst was ad- vanced from principal to City Superintendent and J. E. Lease was made principal. In the year following, the attendance of the school fell from sixty to forty-five, AUDITORIUM STAGE VIEW
