,,-LRF-5 3 . . ' BUHL HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY OF BUHL SCHOOL The first school in Buhl, Idaho, opened October 29, 1906, at the A. E. Milner home and a small adjoining shack. During Xmas vacation of that year, school moved to a frame building which stood where the City Bak- ery is now located. E. A. Wyatt and Miss Winifred Evans were the first teachers. Sixty-two pupils were enrolled. School opened in the fall of 1907 with four teachers. Two buildings were used, the one on the site of the City Bakery and the other the build- ing now occupied by the Joyce Shoe Shop. In addition to the buildings first used, the long wooden frame build- ing on Broadway, now used for storage purposes, was erected for school use in 1908-09. In December 1909 the district voted 810,000 to finish and equip the F. H. building for which Frank H. Buhl of Sharron, Pa., had donated 825,000 This building has been used since the fall of 1909. Work for all grades and some high school work was given in this building. A special election February 3, 1912, authorized the sale of bonds for the purpose of erecting a high school building. This building, now known as the Lincoln building, was used for the high school until 1926 when it housed the intermediate grades and the high school was moved to the present high school building. In the year 1919-20 all the buildings were crowded and two tem- porary rooms were fitted up. This large increase necessitated more room and the fine new high school was built. In addition to having' large, well ventilated and lighted class rooms it has one of the finest auditoriums in the state and beneath it one of the finest high school gym- nasiums in the state.
