Although a new High School building was anticipated for the future, it was not possible to construct it until later. At last the high school students were moved into a building called MThe Old Follett Housef' which was located on Nebraska Street, between Twelfth and Thir- teenth Streets. This structure, which was a large, white, wood building, had for- merly been the home of a well-to-do Sioux City resident, and was commonly called HThe Old Follett House. It should be remembered as being the first building in Sioux City that was used for High School classes alone. The High School faculty and students were almost overwhelmed with pride when, at last, they were given a building which was devoted to their interests entirely. At last the primary grades were left behind and the High School came into its own. The plan of having the High School located in L'The Follett Housev was originally only a temporary arrangement to take care of the overcrowded condition in the Armstrong School. In spite of this fact, however, the building served over a period of years as the home of the Sioux City High School. uThe Follett Housev School' was eventually moved to a lot between Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets, while they used its original site for a new school house.

THE ARMSTRONG SCI-IOSL It was a great day in High School history when uThe Old Bank Building was abandoned and the students, whose ranks had grown considerably, migrated to the Armstrong School. This building, with its three recitation rooms and assembly, seemed so spacious when it was constructed in 1383 that permanency of location was anticipated. Everyone seemed to agree that the corner of Eighth and Pierce Streets was an ideal place for the new Sioux City High School. ln this school, however, High School classes shared honors with the Grammar School classes. Professor C. A. Armstrong and Mrs. Armstrong, after whom the school was named, were placed in charge of the school, while Mrs. Del Foss was the one and only language instructor. Athletics of all types were scorned by the faculty, which consisted ofithree ladies and a gentleman with a wooden leg. Regardless of this fact, however, the boys convened at a vacant lot on Fifteenth and Pierce Streets, and, on this field, some of the college athletes of the future were developd. Many modern improvements were presented to the Armstrong School. A short while after it was built, the latest design in airpumps was installed, and the science department received a skeleton with which to teach anatomy. The greatest acquire- ment, however, was the school library, which was founded in 1387, and boasted 130 volumes on its shelves. Thus, gathering apparatus, and yearly adding to its student body, the Armstrong School formed a strong link in the chain of progress.

THE OLD CASTLE ON THE HILL uThe Old Follett Housef' which was once the pride and joy of the High School faction, was scorned and deserted when the new HCastle on the I-Iillt' loomed into the horizon. For many months the students of the Old Follett House had watched the workmen toil over the large structure. The stone building reared its towers on the very place where the simple uOld Follett House had once reigned supreme. Now, at last, the long awaited day had come, and the Central High School of Sioux City moved Hen massen into their HCastle on the Hill. The ground allotted to the school met the requirements of even the most particu- lar member of the Board of Education. The site was an entire block between Nebraska and Jackson Streets, and Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets. The building faced south on Twelfth Street, overlooking the heart of the business section of Sioux City. Its massive stone structure threw its turrets against the clouds, giving a me- dieval silhouette to an otherwise typical Mid-West skyline. Great pride was taken in this new addition to the educational system.. Business men and residents, as well as the faculty and student body, admired and boasted about their fine new school. It was probably the greatest step forward that had as yet been taken. Centrally located, and with conditions that were a great im- provement over anything that had been formerly, this building offered a fine en- vironment for study. Thus, the High School settled down in its new home, and educational leaders of the day saw part of their dreams come true.
