Nog there was pile of giughams- Brown, and green, and pink and blue, Baby caps, and bibs, and aprons, Baby toys among them, too. And a vision bright and radiant Passed before my dreaming eyesg And I saw soft hair like golden, And a pair of heav'nly eyes. Yes- I thought of our professor, In my fancy I could see VVhat a bright, amusing baby In those aprons he would be. I could see his red lips parted, I could hear him laugh so sweet, Hear him call, Oh, mamma, mamma, Baby wants some steak to eat! Ah, it's a shame his parents Ever put that boy in pants: He'd have been a baby always, Had they given him a chance. Even now, in teaching classes He has proved in many a scene, If he'd but been kept in dresses, VV'hat Z1 darling he'd have been. From 1893 Libe!lJrian Gb bd Poge l3

Poge I4 HISTORY OF HYDE PARK Rome was not built in a day and neither was Hyde Park High School. In fact picking out a date and call- ing it the birthday of Hyde Park is undoubtedly as risky as picking the first in the fifth at Washington Park or the pennant winner of the National League. Anyway, it seems fairly safe to say that Hyde Park was not created by a specific act of the Board of Education, but rather was evolved over a period of years. HIGHLIGHTS OF HYDE PARK HISTORY 1869: Kenwood grammar school begins offering secondary school subjects, thereby becoming our earliest ancestor. 1872: Kenwood adds north wing to house the high school department. Mr. Pliny N. Haskell is principal. 1874: Mr. Clark succeeds Mr. Haskell. ' 1881: Mr. Davis R. Dewey becomes principal of Kenwood. 1883: Mr. William H. Ray takes over the reins. 1890: Mr. William MacAndrew is last principal to serve high school department at Kenwood. Hyde Park district becomes part of Chicago, and the high school obtains a building of its own. It is located at Monroe fnow Kimbarkj and 56th streets. 1891: Mr. Charles W. French becomes principal of the first independent Hyde Park High School. 1905: Mr. Hiram B. Loomis becomes second prin- cipal of Hyde Park. He remains until 1933, becoming the most beloved figure in Hyde Park history. 1913: Hyde Park occupies its present quarters, boasts 2,500 pupils. 1933: Mr. joseph F. Gonnelly becomes head of Hyde Park. 1937: The school adds a new wing to the building to make room for a library, lunchroom, classes and study halls. Yes, we are proud of Hyde Park, for it represents the finest traditions and the opportunities accorded to all Americans to better themselves through public edu- cation, one of those indispensable liberties we are now fighting to preserve. We have a long and honorable history, but in truth it is nothing more than a preview of what is to come.
