kQ,,,,,,,, EL PASO TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL For some time, the only schools in El Paso had M I been the two grade schools, McKinley and Jeffer- f 0 0' A son Park. However, in the year 1915, the people voted for a township high school. Since there was I P no high school building, classes were held in any building or room that was found suitable. Some classes were held in the McKinley grade school, some in the Jefferson Park, and others were even held in vacant rooms in the business district. This continued until 1920-21 when a high school was erected on the northern edge of El Paso, at a cost of S372,186.30. In 1922 the first class of the high school graduated. In 1929, because of the need of a shop for the agriculture classes, the farm shop, located at the northwest corner of the school, was built at a cost of S3,000. In 1938 another 330,772 was spent for the completion of the swimming pool, repairing the roof, improv- ing the drive, and building the turning circle. xt-is . . ff? if .

Everyone-the students, faculty, and citizens of the community-are very proud of our school, with its modern buildings, large green lawns, shrubbery, and trees, the turning circle, the drive around the school, the football field and track, and many other facilities that the school has. In the principal's office hang three certificates. One is a certificate stating that El Paso Township High School is recognized by the State of Illinois, another shows it is accredited by the University of Illinois, and the third states that it is a member of the North Central Association of Schools. gg.
