Our School Through the Years This year, 1955, marks the Diamond Anniversary of Calumet High School. For the past 75 years this school has been a vital part of the community, and we know it will go on as such. Seventy-five years ago Calumet High School became a four-year institution. The first class to graduate, in 1884, had seven students. In 1942 the 75th anniversary of the Calumet public school system was celebrated. At this time Mr. W. E. Trebilcock, superintendent of schools, prepared a historical sketch of the school system from its beginning in 1867 to that year, 1952. Following are excerpts from that pertaining to the High School. A geographically unique thing about the high school is that it is the school farthest north between Maine and Minnesota. It has always served as a community high school for the region extending from Osceola to Copper Harbor, a distance of some thirty-seven miles. H Such high school grades as there were before 1875 were held in the Jeff- ' ' erson School. As has already been stated the first class to graduate did so in 1884 when seven students re- ceived diplomas. There was at this time no separate building for the high school, the classes were housed in the Washington School. Congestion finally led in 1897 to the construction if the high school and the Manual Training School, both of which we re erected by the mining company. However both buildings were destroyed by fire in 1905 and so high school work was again handled in the Washington School until the present high school building was ready in the fall of 1907. The manual training and home eco- nomics departments were provided with modern quarters in the new high built in 1907. school building. Within a year of the opening of the new high school building, enrollment Present High School building, equalled the maximum seating capacity of the assembly room or study hall. So it was found necessary to establish additional study hall space on the third floor of the east wing to which Freshmen were assigned--'the nursery', as it was christened by the studehts. Also the wood shop was transferred from the first floor east to the bas em ent. Yet the space prob- lem was not solved, for the enrollment was swiftly increasing and so they turned to the Washington School for classrooms and study hall space. The destruction of the Washington School in January, 1929 necessitated that all high school work be carried on in the high. school building no matter how crowded it beca.me. The plans for the new Washington School allowed for a Freshman study hall seating 100 ,and six high school class rooms and in October, 1930 the new building was occupied. The only drawback to using two schools for high school work--x the necessity of crossing from building to building exposed to the ele- ments. No passage way has ever been provided. The high school grew, thus the number of those graduating increased. In 1910 the first mid-year class was graduated. Without exception, the June class has been larger than the mid-year class, or February class. The largest mid-year class, numbered seventy mem- bers while the largest June class numbered 156. The greatest number to graduate in any one year was 220,in 1939. It was decided that though there were two classes graduating, a February class and a June class, the commencement exercises would be held only at the end of the school year. In 1904 the following was adopted concerning honor recognition at
