UMW, 2 M. Bellingham High School - l938 On New Year's Eve, l935, one of the two high schools in the city of Bellingham burned to the ground. The fire at Fairhaven High School left 460 students without a school. Whatcom, the other city high school, came to the rescue. For the last six months of the l935-36 school year, both student bodies used the remaining building on a double shift system. Whatcom students used their building from 7:00 a.m. until noon, and the Fairhaven students were bussed from the southside to attend classes from l2:30 until 5:30. Meanwhile, the school board was faced with the problem of how to accomodate the city's students the next year. Although the effort to raise funds for a new central high school had begun three years earlier, progress was slow. Private and government funds were scarce following the Great Depression. However, the destruction of Fairhaven prompted the government to grant emergency aid to the school district. On April l3, 1936, the old circus grounds were purchased for the site of the new school, and construction began. ln anticipation of the single city high school, the school board united Fairhaven and Whatcom into one student body at the beginning of the l936-37 school year. The combination of students from the two high schools was referred to as Bellingham High School, even though they attended classes at Whatcom during the construction of the new building. In I937 the cornerstone of Bellingham High School was laid and early the next year, the building was complete, Total cost of the project was 92 thousand dollars. On February l, l938, students and faculty entered their new building and the history of Bellingham High School began. Opening 3
