EUGENE SOUDERS HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE EMPORIA HICH SCHOOL N the year of 1912 the Emporians and the Board of Education realized the need for a modern high school in this city. The rapid growth of Emporia made it impossible for the school as it was, to accommodate the large num- ber of students. The Emporians could foresee the on-coming students and therefore on April 2, 1912, bonds for 5132000 were voted on and carried by an overwhelming majority. After this time the architects and contractors were chosen and the work began. The architects were from I. I'I. 'Felt and Company of Kansas City, Missouri. The contractors were from T. H. Johnson and Son of Salina, Kansas. The building was to be built 102 feet by 175 feet, three stories high and a basement. The ar- chitecture of this building was the adapted classic type. After two years, 1914, the Emporians realized their dreams. The school was completed and was what they considered perfect. The complete cost including furniture was S1SS,000-a small sum for so great a school. The building was com- pleted, ready for work, on April 1, 1914. Emp0riu's first High School As you view the front of this massive building, you are surprised with the striking feature of it. The large stone entrance, which has two immense Ionic columns of Bedford Stone on each side is the outstanding feature. The basement is of carthage stone, but better structure is of Tliamond Vitrified brick, backed up with Buffalo pauing THE OLD GARFIELD BUILDING
