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 .

Q if M tif FIGURE 5 A second high school was build at 18th and K Streets. This is the present Sutter Iunior High School building and the school moved into this building in the fall of 1909. It is shown in Figure 5. Later in 1909 the building at 9th and M Streets burned down. Enrollment continued to rise steadily, and by 1922 the building at 18th and K Streets could not take care of the growth. In 1922 another high school building was in the process of being constructed at 34th and Y Strccts, our present location. The high school moved into this building in the fall of 1924. But for a period of one year prior to this date the Sacramento Iunior College occupied the one part of the building that had been completed by that time. Figure 6 shows how the building appeared. In 1937 the enrollment had again outgrown the school, and the student body was split. Half of the students began attending the second high school in Sacramento, C. K. McClatchy. There is not so much school spirit shown all year long as at the Thanksgiving Day football game between Sacramento High and McClatchy, our friendly rivals. In the year 1937 a study was made by Jerry Smith Cthen a student of Sacramento High School and at present a teacher herej, Maxine McCarthy, and Danny Buhler to determine whether or not Sacramento High School was the first or second high school to be established in California. The following is taken from the study report made by the persons mentioned above: The oldest high school in California is Lowell Qin San Franciscol, and the second oldest is Sacramento, there being only sixteen days difference between the two dates fAugust 16, 1856 - Lowell, Septem- ber 1, 1856 - Sacramentoj.
