THE SCHOOL Since its organization in 1881, Austin High School has made wonderful progress in many ways. School was hrst held in a part of the present Pease school building, later in the basement of the First Baptist church, and still later in the temporary capitol building. When this building burned, school was held in the present Quality Cafeteria building on West Sixth until' the completion in 1900 of the high school on Ninth and Trinity Streets. The present building, completed this year, is one of the best school buildings in the State of Texas, perhaps in the Southland. Austin High School has had eight principals since its organization, each of whom has done much toward making our high school what it is today. These principals are C. A. Burchard, 1881-1882; T. E. Woodson, 1882-1883; I. H. Bryant, 1883-1895; J. E. Pearce, 1895-1900; C. S. Potts, 1900-1901; J. E. Pearce, 1901-1914; L. VQStockard', 1914-1919; J. P. Simmons, 1919- 1924; and T. A. Gullett, our present principal. Our large and beautiful building was doubled in size as a result of the $500,- 000 bond issue voted in 1924, and an issue of $150,000 in 1927. From the money realized from the sale of these bonds, our Commercial, History, and Manual Training Departments were built; the third floor of the new wing was provided for; and the library, and Home Economics and the Science Depart- ments fully equipped. Our new library is the most spacious, and best lighted, ventilated, and equipped in the State. There have been many improvements in the curriculum and in general school management. This year we have had several courses added, which when afiiliated with the Texas University, will give us a total of credits greater than those of any other Texas high school. OLGA KNIGHT. Page 19
