CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL There is much controversy as to the exact year Classical was founded. Some claim 1843, but that was merely the year in which the original Providence High School was founded. It was not until 1855 that a Classical department was es- tablished there. Classical became a school in itself in 1897 by moving into its present build- ing. The school has not changed much since then, except for the original gyms which are now cafeterias, and the lecture hall which is now the Guidance Office. In this long span of time, Classical has had but three principals, Dr. William T. Peck 41881-19315, Mr. Charles E. Paine C1931-19435, and Mr. James F. O'Neil, our present principal. B. Granoff, K. Blackman, R. Pritsker, M. Bomes hustle to arrive before the 8:30 bell.
