,QM 3 Q..-...',,,, 9' ' BOARD OF DIRECTORS: Mr. George Dalrymple, Dr. Maybelle Chapman, presidentj, Mrs. Eileen Wilson, and Dr. A. Randolph Ulberg. Smell? Mr. Levy S. Johnson Lboard On Tuesday, February 25, l958, the new Edmonds Senior High School officially came into being. Dedication ceremonies held that evening in the new gymnasium culminated several years of planning by school district officials and more than a year of construc- tion work. Lloyd J. Andrews, state superintendent of public instruction, attended the ceremony to compliment the taxpayers of Edmonds School District i5 for successfully risking a step toward a new horizon in school architecture in the Pacific Northwest and creating the modern, campus-style high school which has already become a landmark and a showplace in school design for this region. It took imagination and courage on the part of the Board of School Directors of District 15 to bring the new Edmonds Senior High School into being. Serving on the Board for most of the planning and construction period were the five dedicated persons shown above. Working closely with District Superintendent Harold E. Silvernail and his staff, I this group successfully converted an old orchard at Holmes Corner into a highly func- tio I and attractive plant for the education of the district's youth-the citizens who will h to efine and enl r omorrow's new horizons. r C W 1'ifL5LLL ML if i A LULQ , . , L, 'L I, X I . f , fgf 1' f f A Y ,f 7 ' i I Qww9 mfg?

The new Edmonds Senior High School campus is organized into a number of academic blocks all relating directly to a central core sys- tem running the length of the plant and incorporating the library, administration center, locker rooms, and student activity rooms. The academic blocks, providing for all areas of instruction, are defined by outdoor corridors and a number of open courts and planting spaces which also contribute greatly to the light, airy atmosphere of the school. The various buildings cover 156,000 square feet and will comfortably accommodate 1,200 students. The new school was designed by the firm of Waldron and Dietz, with Mr. Dan Miller serving as an associate. Their stated obiectives were good teaching environment, economy, low maintenance costs, low fire insurance rates, and intensive use of the 30-acre site. Their plan also provided for a football field and track flanked by a covered grandstand, a baseball field, practice areas, tennis courts, and ample parking for students and staff. The Haskell Corporation-with offices in Everett, Bellingham and Mt. Vernon-won the contract for the mechanical work on the new school. This organization, in business since 1893, provided the plumbing, heating, ventilation, insulation, fire protection system, out- side storm and sanitary sewers, and the mechanical work in the boiler room. Total cost of the new school-including some equipment, sales tax, and all architect's fees - was aproximately 2V2 million dollars, or 514.91 per square foot. 6 f 'lf I V t. t. x V . til' IV f ky XV Q V I fvlf V ' F 1 I V 7 il L J' 2 xii' fl!
