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.

This building, shown below in Figure 4, was first occupied on january 1, 1877. As time went on, however, the enrolhnent began to increaseg and by 1909 this building was not adequate.

Figure 6 on the preceding page is a picture of the present building before the windows, landscaping, and the fa- miliar eloektower were completed. The tower eloek, Figure 7, is the Hrst part of our campus to be reniembered. The tower eloek and controls were given to the school by the classes of 1929, 1930, and 1931. Figure 8 is Sacramento Senior High School as it looks today. Passage of time and the growth of lawn, trees, and shrubs have changed the stiff building on the opposite page to a place of beauty loved by all who have attended it. FIGURE 7 FIGURE 8
