Qi: FIGURE 'I On the 22nd of May, 1855, Dr. F. W. Hatch, at that time one of the school commissioners of this city, pro- posed that the course of study of the grammar schools should be enlarged by the addition of astronomy, Latin, French, German, bookkeeping and general history. On the 1st of September, 1856, the first high school in Sacramento was opened by public exercises, with an enrollment of 39 students. The first school was located in a school house on M Street between 8th and 9th Streets. Early in 1858 the school 'moved to 5th and K Streets. In October of 1860 the high school occupied part of the Franklin Grammar School at 6th and L Stifets, as pictured in Figure 1. The first people to graduate from Sacramento High were two women, Mary Hurd and Mary Morgan, the later being pictured in Figure 2. They graduated in May. 1864, the first ones to finish school. Their classmates had dropped out of school one by one until only these two remained. FIGURE 2 fd UQC 5 l rfM:,.f.JL 6-74767 .
