The student body consisted of forty-eight pupils and the faculty of two teachers, Mr. A, S. Hall, principal, and Miss May B. Phillips. Students came from graduating eighth grade classes and from the tutor- ing classes of Mr. Milliken in Fernwood and Mrs. Sutherland in Washing- ton Heights. The school district at that time included the territory south of 87th Street and east of Western Avenue. lt was bounded on the south by the little Calumet River and on the east by a line running through Lake Calumet about Stony lsland Avenue. During the summer of l890, a fire occurred in the Washington Heights building, and the high school was moved to temporary quarters in the old Tracy Town Hall, a one story frame building at l03rd and Prospect, which was partitioned off into four classrooms. These quarters were very in- convenient and it was obvious that the township needed a new school building but the school board was having difficulty in selecting a location. The villages of Blue Island, Morgan Park, Washington Heights, Gano, and Fernwood had grown up along the railroads but there was no east and west transportation. Hence each village wanted the new school but re- fused to send their students to any other village. So the board ordered the discontinuance of the search for a building site and petitioned Chicago to accept its students, teachers, and 530,000 ln April l89l the Board of Education voted to accept Calumet as a Chicago high school and in September the school was transferred to the Auburn Park Grammar School at 8lst and Normal, a new six-room brick building where the high school was given three rooms on the second floor. Auburn Park had just been incorporated into the city of Chicago. The very first settlers were about fifteen German farmers who in l875 started small truck farms around 79th and Halsted, establishing a settle- ment known as the Grove . There were also a few Hollander truck farmers west of 82nd and Peoria and around 79th and State. Auburn itself mushroomed into existence at 79th and Vincennes following the great Chicago fire when people were looking for places to build in the suburbs instead of in the burned over territory north of 22nd Street. This fine prairie land was considered one of the most promising south side districts because its land was some sixteen feet higher than the surround- ing swampland. lt built up rapidly in l872-73 and the Auburn Park Grammar School was built in l876 at 8lst and Wallace. However, it burned down in l887 when the Weber Wagon Works across the street burned and took the school and some 25 houses with it. The new school was erected in l888 at Slst and Normal on land donated by Mr. August Schorling. To Calumet, located in this building, students of all ages, who had not had an opportunity for a high school education up till this time, flocked from the distant suburbs. ln fune of '9l two pupils received their diplo- mas at graduation exercises held for all Chicago high schools in the Auditorium at Michigan Boulevard and Congress. The teaching staff had been increased to eight. One of the best loved and well-remembered of these teachers was Miss Alice McKinley. From her first year at the school in 1897 till she
