THE BEAVER-1933 History of Augusta High School de ln 1873 a frame structure building was erected on the present school grounds. It was known first as a graded school until a number of years later when it was organ- ized as a high school. The first principal to be engaged was L. L. Williams. During the next Hfteen years L. W. Wood was the presiding principal. Under his guidance in 1880 E. A. I-Iainilton and Killissa Waterbury graduated from high school, the first two to have such honors bestowed upon them. The principals who fell in line next were Messns. Hedler, Shepherd, Banting and Hale. ln 1903 a brick building was erected to replace the old fraime building. For the following ten years L. Cf. Hatch was principal of the school. He was fol- lowed by Mr. Robinson, who served a two-year term. In 1918 B. V. Christenson undertook the position as the first superintendent of the Augusta Puiblic School. The same year the annexes of the high school were built. On May 21, 1921, the building was partly destroyed by fire, the origin being unknown. In 1919 various changes were made in the location of class rooms. Prior to this change the library was located where the text book library is -now'. 'Later on the library was partitioned into two rooms, one room for each respective library. After this the school library was moved wherei the science room was, that being the location of our present library. The science room, in turn, was moved' to the eigihth grade room, and the eighth grade took refuge in the junior assembly. The domestic science room was moved on the first floor to the third grade room. The seventh grade, as a result of this, occupied room in the junior assembly also. In 1923 A. K. -Lyon was engaged as superintendent. He served the scihool success- fully for nine years. Mr. MacLachla'n very capably has coped with the superintendent'-s position the past year. The high school during all these years has taken an active part in all forms of activities-such as music, forensics, and athletics. Page Eight
