Redlands High School - Makio Yearbook (Redlands, CA)

BUgjMyumuiMMiw Our Town The first high school in Kedlandb, the Bellevut- Aiad- . my, opened in 18»6 with a teaching staff of two and a student body of two. Their graduation was the first commencement exercises in the San Bernardino \ ' al- ley. Redlands became the first city in the state to form a public high school. The .school site turned out to be quite noisy because of trucks coming from Oak Cilen backfiring on Citrus Ave- nue. Also, trucks coming down Highway 99 would fail to make the turn at Reservoir Road and crash into the high school where the Girl ' s Gym stands today. Clock Audito- rium was built in 1928 during the Great Depression. The Girl ' s Gym came about through the efforts of the Public Works Administration, one of President Roosevelt ' s " New Deal " programs. The RHS library was built in 1949 and Grace Mullen Auditorium in the 1950 ' s. The campus re- fiects the different arhcitectural designs of the 20 " s, 40 ' s. and 50 ' s. Once in 1936, the basketball team went on strike until they got showers and lockers near the Girl ' s Gym, where they played their games. The Administration Building is the newest addition to the RHS campus, being built in 1971. Its construction was meant to " blend with the mid-fifties construction on cam- pus. " Having the oldest high school yearbook in California, some of the best staff, and being represented by the Marching Band in Japan, Terriers have something to be proud of in their unique school. Since the late 180() ' s. Redlands had been a noteworthy community and in 198.5 the tradition continues. The his- toric versus the contemporary, scenic sites and parks, and the air of closeness makes this town unique and special. CM and BJS Tup. Kedlandk Lincoln Shrine. Right. The Redlands Po«l Office
