THE MAVERICK l l 0 HISTORY OF EASTLAND HIGH SCHOOL Eastland High School is the largest of the five schools in the East- land Independent School District. The present building is made of cream colored brick and was built in 1927 on a high l1ill overlooking Eastland and the surrounding territory. This building is three stories high and contains 28 rooms including a cafeteria, a five room home economics laboratory, physics and chemistry laboratories, an auditorium capable of seating 588 persons, a sound proof band room, and a library of several thousand volumes. Also connected with the school are a gymnasium, which was built in 1929, a field for track and band marching practice, and a football field. The first school in the Eastland Independent School District was a two-room frame building which was used until the erection of a three- room schoolhouse in 1883. There school was conducted until 1895. A two-story frame building was built in 1905 to be succeeded in 1910 by a large brick structure where school was held until the erection' of the present building. At the present time the enrollment of Eastland High School is 190 students. There are eleven teachers, including the superintendent, Mr. W. G. Womack. The Eastland Independent School District extends for thirty square miles and includes five schools-West Ward and South Ward which were built in 1920: Junior High, built in 19303 High Schoolg and the Douglas School for colored children. .
