ii History of Euclid Today UCLID HIGH SCHOOL has been steadily growing. From occupying a few rooms upstairs in our building together with the grades it has come to occupy all of the upper Hoor. There were few teachers at lirst. Now there is a teacher for each department: English, History, Language, Mathe- matics, Science, Domestic Science and Manual Training besides a teacher for subjects that are not included in these lists. and Music and Art supervisors. This indicates very clearly that the enrollment has increased. It is now four times what it was in 1918. This year there are fourteen Seniors, but there was only one four years ago. This increase has been due partly to certain conditions in other schools, partly to increase in population, but also the fact that Euclid High is able to attract and keep students. Our school is small enough for attention to individuals and large enough to support many activities. Euclid is exceptionally well equipped. Our gymnasium. with running track. locker-rooms and shower-baths, surpasses those of most city schools. All our plays used to be given under dilliculties in the Town Hallg now we have as beautiful an auditorium as can be found in any school in the country. It is not only beautiful but well equipped in every detail. The laboratory has been recently refurnished and improved, and the library has been completely catalogued and established in one ,of the upstairs rooms. The Manual Training Department has been given more room by giving to it almost all of the old gymnasium. where many useful and beautiful things are made. The Domestic Science Department has a large kitchen and also sewing rooms in the house recently bought for the schools. This department is of real service in serving lunches for teachers and pupils.

History of Shore High School URING the spring and summer of nineteen hundred and thirteen, there arose the foundation of a new school building. By late summer the edihce was completed and crowds of people dwelling in Euclid Village went to view it, inside and out, on the night of its opening. It was de- clared by one and all to be a beautiful and practical expression of modern architecture. Shore was decided upon as the most appropriate name and was carved over the entrance where you will hnd it today. The building, when first constructed, consisted of four class rooms. a gym- nasium and basement space, the latter being used for manual training and domestic science classes as well as for lavoratories and furnace rooms. The four class rooms seemed amply large for all the students that attended then. The fifth and sixth grades were in one room, the seventh and eighth in another, while all the high school was in a third room, and the fourth was used for a laboratory. The gymnasium was a wing all by itself on the south side of the school. lmmense beams ran across the ceiling and these played a unique part in the basket ball games. ln l9l8 an addition of several rooms was made to the original building to care forthe increased enrollment. The last addition consisting of six class-rooms, library and combination gymnasium and auditorium was ready for occupancy last year. The gym is the popular rendezvous for the whole Shore Community for neighborhood gather- ings as well as for school affairs. The gym floor is one of the best in northern Ohio. Excellent manual training and domestic arts departments are maintained. With the increased enrollment of the last two years it is possible to enlarge the curriculum so that a wider choice may be offered. N
