AHS Student Council-1929 Quill and Scroll-1929 FT The 1929 AHS Orchestra was under the leadership of Mr. Fred Percilla, a well-known saxophonist of Albany. w nfortunately, the i new high school on Monroe '$ did not alleviate the crowded ' n conditions for long. According to the Thronateeska, the Class of 1924 had hoped for a new high school f building for four long years. During their freshman year, the Class of ’24 was crowded into three small rooms. They came back the next year as sophomores to oc-, cupy two classrooms cut I ■ from the auditorium. When : they returned as juniors, they found three more classrooms made from the kitchen and the science laboratory, these depart- i . ments having been consigned to the lower regions in the £ basement. Finally, neither the ingenuity of the faculty nor j the available space could be stretched further, and the little “red school house,” ! fondly termed by the boys “the barn,” was built. So as seniors, the Class of 1924 was separated into the boys’ % high school and the girls’ high school, with the boys in , “the barn” and the girls in | the original building. It was | in 1924 with this division | that the senior class began | to elect both a male and a I female class president. This tradition was continued | through the class of 1975. History 13
