THRU r MR. GEORGE ALVIN SNOOK was the first teacher of the annex of Central High School which opened in Frankford in September, 1910. There were 37 students in his first class. ln February, 1911, the Student Board was organized and in No- vember of the same year Ye Monks was created. The school seal was drawn by Mr. Rowland Rudrauff in 1912. The next year the first school dance was held at Assembly, and in December the Alumni Association was formed. Two years later, the cornerstone of the present building was laid, with Mr. Snook as principal. ln 1916 girls were first admitted to Frankford High, and William Tilden, Znd, coached a championship tennis team. The next year, the enrollment passed the one thousand mark, and William Chism was the first of Frankford's boys to enlist in the World War. ln 1918 the school was closed twice, once because of coal shortage, and next because of influenza epidemic. February of that same year the commence- ment exercises were held in Frankford Theatre, and in June the first class of boys and girls was graduated. The next year, the first senior party was held. ln 1921, Mr. Harry Barfoot was the first Frankford High student to become a teacher at Frank- ford. The Memorial Stadium was dedicated the next year, and in 1925, the first issue of High Way was published. In 1930 it won the All-American rating in the contest of the National Scholastic Press Associtaion. The he YEARS pipe organ had been dedicated and in 1931 Dr. Frank L. Cloud came to Frankford as principal. Two years later, the Ethan Allen Annex was opened for the ninth grades. The same year the 51.50 A. A. Book sys- tem was inaugurated, and Frankford won the Public High League football champion- ship. With the enrollment of the class of June '38 in September, 1934, the school reached a new all-time high of 4000. The following June, the commencement exer- cises took place at Baptist Temple instead of Frankford High, because of the size of the graduating class. ln the fall the Student Board bought new uniforms for the band. ln November of the following year, the Frankford football team won the All Public High School Football Championship. In 1937 the Campus Committee was organized by Mr. Carl Wise, and under their direction the campus has grown more and more beau- tiful. The following year the new Field House was formally dedicated, with the en- tire student body in attendance. The most outstanding achievement last term was the winning of the soccer championship by our team over Northeast, which had retained the title for thirteen years. Since those first days when Frankford was an annex of Cen- tral High, the student body has increased not only in its members but also in its achievements. The class of June 1939 has been a wonderful example, for they have broken previous records with their success in all senior activities. X ik -' L V't'-'ef1P- -Y - A N .
