HENRY MELVIN HART Forty years ago Henry M. Hart was an exceedingly proud principal, for it was in the spring of 1912 that the new Lewis and Clark High School first opened its doors. During the week of April 1-8, School Board mem- bers, teachers, and .students kept open house for the citizens of Spokane in connection with the dedicatory exercises of our splen- did new building. In june, 1910, the old South Central burned and from the ashes of it had arisen a new and HENRY MELWN HART larger building. It was Principal Hart who gave the name, Lewis and Clark, to the new school, in memory of the two famous explorers who led an expe- dition through this region in 1804. It has proved to be a distinctive name. Every department was outfitted to offer the finest opportunity ever presented to a Spokane high school student. The new auditorium provided for over 1500 seats and a large concert grand piano was purchased at a cost of 31650. On the first day of school in the new building-April 8, 1912-a national rec- ord was set. The student body, by working together with the teachers, carried out the whole process of enrollment in exactly 20 minutes. Huge bulletins gave the name of every student, his session room number, and the number of his locker. By 9 o'clock every student was in his proper room and seat. It was considered a remarkable begin- ning for this great new institution. Some of the ideals of the new school were expressed as follows in a Lewis and Clark journal editorial dated May, 1912: A century ago, Lewis and Clark, in their famous expedition, laid the foundation of our claim to the great Northwest, which was to become the home of a freer, simpler democracy. And today the great institution that has been named for them can con- tinue in the destiny which they were opening up. This school can frown on cheapness and snobbery and uphold the equality of the individual. It can reflect the aims and ideals of its builders. It can preserve the atmosphere of the Wes't and the spirit of Spokane. It can stand always for the things that are rightf, Pu ye six
