We were left alone to fly the uncharted and solitary heights of the imposing Senior High. The Freshies deserted us at the last moment for a new and shinier building. It was a heart-rending blow, but our sturdy spirits rose and we are off in a successful flight. Our start was at the Old Cascade in 1888. At that time a three-year course was offered and the school was accredited by the University of Washington. The enrollment grew and the building pictured above was erected in 1909 to meet our needs, and we made our second take-off. Our enrollment here steadily increased and another building had to be erected. It was decided, in order to relieve congestion both in the grades and high school, to construct an intermediate school, and our beautiful new 3140,000 Junior High was the result. - A seven-period instead of a five-period day was instituted here and they are using a Student Body system of government. This new building relieved the crowded classroom of the Senior High and allowed new subjects to be added to our present course. Next year with improvement work on our building and the adding of new subjects we will have one of the finest educational units in NVashington. 2 l
