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

iiShould auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to minhW-e-Burns As the High School Annual is a good medium by which to revive the pleasant memories of bygone days, we have endeavored to report the whereabouts of all the Alumni when last heard from, and any errors in our following account, will be the result of misleading information we may have obtained. If each of the Alumni will report his location and occupation to the Oriole every year, it will be an excellent way for all to keep in touch with one another. Of our first graduating class, which was composed entirely of girls, Roberta Ballard is teaching at Cochrane; Olive Coulter 'is taking a course of Domestic Science in the Oregon Agricultural College; Lil- lian Fellowes has changed her place of residence and also her name; Georgiana Fiske is clerk in the Dallas Post Omce; Anne Garner is a Dallas farmerls wife, Mrs. Homer Dashiell; and Letitia Shewey was a school teacher when the last report arrived. The peculiarity of the second class was that there were thirteen in the class graduating on the 13th of June i13. Ruth Campbell, CarolYn Gohrke, Alice Miles, Lena Skersies and Josephine Luebke country; Claudia Brown is still at home in Dallas and often takes part in High School activities; Pearl Phillips has been in California with her parents during the winter; Ray Boydston has become a civil engineer; Loren Butler is attending Dallas College; Frank Campbell is a Freshman at the University of Oregon; Frank Wilson is working in Dallas; Julius Herzog is replenishing his stock of wisdom in a Portland school, Ruth Shaw is the only one of the class of i13 that has changed her name.
