10 The Histor3r of Dallas High School We hold it to be a self evident truth that all things, however great, must have a beginning. And so it was with Dallas High School. At the annual school meeting in 1905 the people voted that grades above the eighth should be added as needed to the Dallas Public School, and in the Fall of that year the ninth and tenth grades were organized. For a few years these grades occupied one room in the public school building, but finally these temporary quarters were outgrown and it became evident that a new building would have to be provided soon. At a special election in 1910 bonds to the amount of $50,000 were voted for the construction and equipment of a suitable high school building. The plans adopted and carried out provided for a beautiful twenty-room structure, faced with cream-colored, pressed brick. This building was ready for occupancy by the first of the following year, and on January 7, 1911, the pupils, with feelings of great pride and joy, moved into their new school home. With the new building came also a more complete High school course, a full four years course being added in 1912. Since that time laboratories for the Physics, Botany and Chemistry classes, an excellent kitchen for the Domestic Science classes, and a sewing room for the Domestic Art classes have been added and equipped. It is probable that next year Manual Training equipment for the boys will be provided. That Dallas High School is a lusty, progressive, and growing school may' be shown by the registration during different years. In 1905, there were about five students enrolled; in 1911, iifty-three; and in 1913, one hundred and twenty-four students. The teaching force of the school has been increased from one teacher in 1905 to siX teachers in 1913. At least one teacher will probably be added next year. . -Georgia Ellis 1'14 0L1; THE 0R1 OLE Courses Ofl English Algebra German Latin History Physical Geography Book-keeping Physiology Geometry Physics Civics Higl

THE ORIOLE . . .9 Concerning another of the teachers who taught in Dallas High three years ago, a letter from McMinnville says: itThe former Miss McVicker now bears the name of Mrs. Kyle, Florence, Oregon. Miss Jeane IKuykendall who taught English and History here two years ago, is now Mrs. Porter, and is living in Falls City with her husband and baby. Miss Margaret E. McCoskey, of McMinnville, our science teacher of two years ago, still retains her maiden name, and has been teach- ing in Monmouth since she left Dallas. Professor Bert A. Teats was as well liked as any teacher we have ever had, or ever expect to have, and as we had known him for many years, we missed him very much when he received the higher honor of becoming Principal of Sheridan High School last year. He had been closely connected with our High School ever h m: since it was established, having charge of most of the mathematics ' nu u ' ' and Foreign language work. ' As the Adelphians predicted in their prophecy last year, Miss . , - kson our English and. History teacher of the ,12J13 session, now nth Mg Jac , , , uhlutdt a . 1:5? has a home in Monmouth, tand her name 1s Mrs. SmlthJ thud M ' , . MM tau k , Out sympathy is with Professor C. B. Rogers, who was forced to 11m! 65' 23M abdicate his charge of German and Mathematics, about ' midyear, owing to ill health. His sudden departure was unexpected by all. Frances Simonton took charge of Mr. Rogers, classes until the services of Professor Dunkleberger could be secured.
