ALAMEDA High School’s most memorable occasion was the dedication of the present high school on August 18, 1926. Although the science wing was recently remodeled and the language wing rebuilt, the structure of the main building remains essentially the same as it was in 1926. With the new school came many new clubs and organizations such as the Men’s Block ‘“‘A”’ which was started by Coach Otto Rittler. Other clubs included the German Club, Sword and Shield, Circulus Latinus, which was the largest club in 1930, and many more. Wild-colored socks were the fad in 1926 along with baggy pants and pull over sweaters. Girls enjoyed large colorful bows and hemlines to the knees. In 1930 Alameda High School’s swim team captured the ACAL swimming title and recorded their most successful season up to that date. In 1929, however, the stock market crashed and left many Americans in a state of panic. In the period following the crash, great numbers of families felt the rusing unemployment rate. It was then that the city’s Chamber of Commerce was organized to look over every part of the city’s welfare. The Rugby Team of 1920.
