Euclid High Schools of Yesterday HE HIGH SCHOOLS of Euclid had their beginning in the year of1893 in the upper room of a two story brick building on the north side of the street known as School Street. Euclid was not a village at that time but was called Euclid Township. 'lihe pupils of the hrst school came from every direction, and many had to walk from three to four miles or farther to school. South Euclid. Clarabell and Nottingham sent their pupils to Euclid at that time. The teaching force con- sisted of one member. 1V1r. Sigler, and a three year course was given. ln May, 1897, the lirst class consisting of six pupils was graduated. At this time each pupil was required to deliver a commencement oration. ln 1897 our faculty was increased to two members: the Superintendent, Prof. E. L. Abbey and Mr. A. H. Mavis. 'liwo courses of study were offered, the English and Business course com- bined, and the Latin course. Athletic sports were few. Thetboys and girls played football and baseball in seasong while croquet offered thrills in the spring. Since we had no athletic held the grounds surrounding the village Town Hall served in that capacity As to entertainments -our efforts were centered upon a yearly entertain- ment, given in midwinter. One proved so successful that we gave it both in Euclid and Nottingham. Some may wonder at the excellency of the musical productions of Euclid High Schools today, but when one thinks that music has been part of the course of study since 1899 and B. Wzltsoii Burgess of' East Cleveland first introduced it--one no longer wonders. ln 1900 the High School was moved into a new building just east of where it had been housed. We were proud to enter our new building and begin work there with what we believed every equipment for a very ellicient High School. One of the sources of much interest was a chemistry laboratory. ln the year 1913 the present high schools were completed, one at Shore for the north and one at Euclid for the south side of the Village. Additions have been added to these buildings giving us two of the finest gymnasiums in the country and a splendid auditorium. With the rapid growth of our village and its schools we see a glorious future forthe little school which had its beginning in such humble quarters in the year of 1893. MRS. J. B. CLARK 6
