It was taught by J. F. Rhoades in a building on North Broadway, which was later used as a Catholic church, and is now occupied by the Carnegie Steam Laundry. In 1904 a large two-story frame building, costing about 51700, was erected on the hill south of town. This was later moved down town and converted in the Hartman hotel. At the present time it is known as the Shobe hotel. By 1908 the school had outgrown the frame building, so the district voted bonds to construct a new building. Then the brick building now occupied by the grammar grades was erected. The school grew very rapidly in its new quarters and continuec to grow until in 1921 the district, in keeping with the spirit of the school, voted 340,000 in bonds for a new high school building. The town voted 312,000 for an auditorium to be used as a town hall. The high school building is a modern institution that is the pride of every citizen. It has ten class rooms, a domestic science room, chemical laboratory, and a manual training room. It also has a steam heating plant, hot and cold showei baths, and a large gymnasium built of solid concrete covered with a wood fiooring making it one of the finest in this part of the state. The auditorium has a seating capacity of eight hundred. The grounds cover two city blocks and have a football field, baseball diamond, and a quarter mile track. The first high school system was organized in 1909 by Superintendent Creek- more. After the construction of the new high school building a more elaborate system was planned and put into execution by Superintendent Allen. In 1922 Superintendent A. Frank Martin was placed at the head of the school. In the same year a new mem- ber was added to the high school faculty and in 1923 a new instructor took her place with the others at the head of the Junior High. Carnegie high school was accredited in 1916 with a total of sixteen units. It was raised in 1919 to twenty-five and again in 1920 to twenty-six units. The school system has dropped the teaching of foreign languages in order to devote more time to subjects which are of common use, and now it is accredited with a total of twenty- four units. In 1922, under Superintendent Martin, home economics and manual train- ing were added to the list of subjects taught by the high school. Also there was added a normal training course, the students wishing to take this course are prepared fox the teaching profession and upon finishing receive a two-year state certificate. Until 1911 athletics were almost unknown in the Carnegie high school. In 1912 Carnegie made up for former defeats by winning the county meet and a majority of the football games. In 1913 athletic organizations consisted of a tennis club, boys' basketball team, baseball team, girls' basketball team, and a track team. In the last few years Carnegie has made good in athletics. In 1923 Carnegie took first place in the track meet and third place in the intellectual meet at Anadarko. The first glee club was organized in 1916-17 by Mrs. Landingham. It has shown rapid progress in the past few years and has often given pleasing numbers at many school and civic entertainments as well as special concerts. The club is under the direction of Miss Iris Deck this year. The band was first organized in 1919 by a high school boy, Marshall Vanpool. The boys have made rapid progress since they began and now, under the instruction of C. P. Coats, they have reached a degree of proficiency seldom acquired by a high school band. The band plays for all athletic contests and school entertainments. The first annual was published in 1913 and called The Leader. It was dedi- cated to the superintendent, Harry S. Cook. No more annuals were published until 1920 when the Red and Black appeared. The Red and Blanck has been published each year since that date by the Senior class. Carnegie's Hrst graduate under the accredited system was Amelia Daubert, in 1917. In 1918 there were ten. in 1919 nine. in 1920 fifteen, in 1921 tewnty-four, in 1922 twenty-eight, in 1923 thirty-two, in 1924 thirty-four and this year the Senior class is the largest in the history of the school having forty-one members. Past superintendents of C. H. S. include: 1909-10-11-12, Creekmore, who estab- lished the first systemg 1912-13, Cook, 1913-14-15, Armstrongg 1915-16, Oliver, 1916- 17-18. Landinghamg 1918-19, lVIcColloughg 1919 20-21-22, Alleng 1922-23-24, Marting Mr. Martin resigned March 1, 1924 and Mrs. H. C. Jones became superintendent for the remainder of the year. Carnegie has grown from a one-room school with only a few pupils to an ex- traordinary system employirg seventeen teachers. It has three divisions, namely, grammar grades, junior high, and senior high school. H35 353 'J 1 A A P52 it 5 1 list,-EW pa. J .
