Senior Class of 1921 Senior Class of 1922 Senior Class of 1923 U y 1905 there was a growing demand for a city system of public schools. This resulted in the establishment of a city school system by special act of the Legislature in 1906. S. R. deJarnette was elected first superintendent. Shortly after the establishment of the city school system, a high school building was constructed on the corner of Monroe and Society Streets and was named Albany High School. In 1919 the old Albany Academy was again rebuilt and was known as Flint Street Grammar School. Today, the Academy building houses school administration offices. In 1915, Roland E. Brooks became the superintendent of the city school system. He continued in this position until 1937. In the May 5, 1970 edition of the Albany Herald, Mr. Dan Gibson made the following comment about Mr. Brooks: “When I went on the city board about 1927, R. E. ‘Roland’ Brooks was superintendent of the city schools. He was a learned man, could make a speech on non-controversial matters, and taught a Sunday School Class, whose members thought his messages were wonderful.” The senior class of 1917 was the first to publish an annual. The seniors named their yearbook the Thronateeska and dedicated it to Mary L. Brosnan.
