ALMA MATE R Everett High, so true. How we all love you! And we're proud to say “You belong to us always.” Everett High, we call Greatest school of all. Victory or defeat. We’ll all repeat Our praise for Alma Mater, Everett High. HISTORY OF E. H. S. The high school of Everett was begun on May 10, 1885, when $5,000 in bonds was issued to help pay for the construction of the building. The high school had previously been in the present grade school. E. H. S., as it appeared in 1886, consisted of the four rooms, now occupied by Miss Howe, Mr. Shirk, Mr. Startzell, and Mr. Hudson. The school, including grade and high, employed eight teachers. The first class graduated from the high school in 1889. The class consisted of two members, Mr. Howard Gump, Sr., and his wife, both deceased. Matters continued on this way for about ten years. In 1901 a total of $10,000 in bonds was issued for the present grade building. In 1928 there were 93 freshmen—25 more than the year before. The crowded conditions made it necessary to add two new classrooms, at present occupied by Miss Black and Miss Stayer, a new stairway and entrance, and a new heating system. In 1932 plans were made for the addition of two more classrooms, but due to the impending school legislation it was deemed advisable to await governmental regulations. In September, 1933, the high school enrollment numbered 251. The school board was compelled to make provision for more room. The completed school consists of the original six rooms, the home economics and chemistry laboratories, the typing room, the new office, the boys’ and girls’ shower rooms and the E. H. S. auditorium. The auditorium has a floor space of 58 x 66 feet and will seat 600 people. The ceiling is 20 feet high. There are six double door exits, one leading directly to the outside, two leading through short halls at the end of the stage, two going into the hallway, and one into the physical education office. The auditorium has been equipped for a number of sports. The total enrollment today is approximately 700 with a faculty composed of 22 for the entire school. Page ten
