WE ENDEAVOR TO BUILD ... In 1892, one person had the distinction of being the first student to graduate from Argentine high school. The following year an enrollment increase saw seven students graduating. The grad- uation exercises took place in the old Opera House between 21st and 22nd streets on Silver. At| that time, the faculty still consisted of one teacher, and only three years of high school were re- quired for a diploma. By 1902, the enrollment outgrew the one-room stage, and high school that year was held in the old jail between 23rd and 24th on Silver. The cornerstone for the old north building was laid in 1908 at the location of the present school. In 1921 the east end of the north building was added. Several years later a shop unit and gym were constructed just south of the building. The shop courses at that time were comprised of woodworking and drafting. Need for a bigger and better vocational arts building was satisfied in 1940. The south build- ing, or old building as we know it today, was completed during the war years. One of the courses on its curriculum was airplane mechanics. The old north building was torn down in 1954. It had stood, sturdy as the stone it was made of, as Argentine's center of learning for 46 proud years. In 1956, out of the dust and rubble anq tradition of the stone building, rose a new educational symbol—clean, trim, modern and challeng- ing. High on a windy hill, Argentine high sits beaming and proud, yet humble and understanding. 4
