In 1884 the high school building was erected on North Emporia. The average ,-ff? curriculum of the advanced student included civil government, anatomy and physiology, physical geography, agricultural geology, university algebra. iv The first class was raduated in 1879 and was composed of Clementine David- g i U son, Grace Pope, May L. Throckmorton, and W. B. Throckmorton. The exercises ,, lj were held in Garfield hall, and each student gave an oration. 41 This buildin was added to and used until 1911, when the new brick buildin . ,g i g . g Lf Q was ready for use. As the enrollment increased, departments also were added. gg Qt' Just as the old school had soon become too small, so also did the brick building, If and by 1923 the new building located on the corner of Grove and Douglas Avenues - ,lf was ready for use. This school, one of the best in the state, and the most beautiful, .-H well marlcs the growth of Wichita. Since the school population indicates the progress gli QXXX of any city, Wichita stands high in the fact that the newest high school is no longer 1 a dream, but a reality, which will be located at Thirteenth and Rochester.

Her wages, forty dollars per month, and money to pay current expenses KW were raised by popular subscription. The Presbyterian Church, at the corner of V' Wichita and Third Streets housed this first school. However, after the board of L . . . ' . education was or anized in 1871 a new structure was erected at the corner of Third . 3 ' . . . Ja and Emporia. The members of this board were Dr. A. H. Fabrlque, C. M. Garrison, H. J. Hills, N. McCleese, M. R. Moser, and R. L. West. V In 1873 there were 449 people of school age, and in the next year the school enrollment was so large that six teachers were needed. In 1875 the enrollment was C' 403. However the average daily attendance was only 222. 'W K , Although the records were not carefully kept, it is known that Professor Snover and Miss Lizzie Higday taught a short term of school in the spring of 1872. Also in this year the two-room building was enlarged, and Mr. John Tucker was chosen as the first superintendent, receiving eighty dollars a month.

H. S. graduates, an athletic association was formed for the purpose of improving our knowledge of athletics, establishing a closer union of good fellowship, and raising the standard of the school both mentally and physically . This organization early adopted a constitution and a yell on January 18, 1895, that as the Annual of 1901 says was dear to the heart of every high school-ite and the terror of every opposer . The Annual of 1901 continues: With the advent of our new gymnasiumfto which the A. A. has donated the largest amount yet subscribed, S5150-the field of athletic work will be doubled. Daily 15-minute practices will take the place of two hours once a weekg steady and not spasmodic work counts. But even though this seems a small amount of practice, the athletes were of a remarkably outstanding type. Of one year's track squad especially good time was made in the mile, quarter mile, the 100-yard dash in exceptionally good time, and the 120-yard high hurdle of such remarkable time that few high school athletes approach it today. From the minutes of November 19, 1903, we read: The subject was brought up as to whether the A. A. members should accept an oder given by the Braeburn Golf Club-namely, that if the girls would take care of the club house and the boys aid in keeping the grounds clean each member by paying twenty-five cents might Page Tit en ty
