lWEHW AUUITORIUNI Histor of thc School ALLAS has ever been known for her interest in improvements, especially in her schools, and thus when the crowded condition of the Bryan Street High School was brought to her attention in 1915, she immediately set to work to the construction of another high school, soon to he known throughout the city as The Forest Avenue High School. Work was begun in 1915 and by the fall of 1916 the sthool was occupied by seven hundred thirteen students. This new build- ing, erected at a cost of three hundred thousand dollars, is one of' the most beau- tiful buildings in the entire city. lts corridors, lockerrooins, laboratories, and ygyinnasiuni are beautiful, as well as large and convenient. The Auditorium, seat- ing' twelve hundred people, is one ol' the largest in the city. Mr. lil. B. Cauthorn was appointed first principal of this school, destined to hecoine the leading high school of the city, and through the work ot' this able leader, and the faithfulness and co-operation ot the splendid corps of teachers selected as instructors, and of course through the students themselves, Forest Avenue High began its career and laid down the principles and ideals which its successors have ever striven to uphold.
