THE HILLTDFPER History of Washington High School In the early summer ot l903, construction work for the Bristol school was begun under the trusteeship of Iohn H. Virgil. By Ianuary l, l9U4, the building stood ready for occupancy, at a cost ot approximately Sl6,UOO. The high school was commissioned in l907, and a class ot six was turned out in l908, the first under the commission. The steady improvement in the school has brought recogni- tion from the state department in the form of a continuous commission during the school years from 1929-40. In l925, a gym was added to the east ot the building. The big attraction of the gym was the stage. Blue velvet curtains were purchased and they are still in use, At the north end ot the gym, a kitchen was built to serve as a cafeteria. An addition of land was added to the play ground on the west side, making it possible tor ample parking space for those who drive, and for the loading and unloading of children. ln l937, two new shower rooms were added to the gym at the north end. The old ones were taken out and a cafeteria put in their place. In the summer of l939, the home economics room was remodeled. A new electric stove was purchased and built-in cupboards were installed. 4
