All that day, all that week, and for weeks to come, you walked around the halls, through the various buildings, with your head held high and a deter- mined look on your face that marked you immediately for what you were, a new sophy. Somehow the first semester was over very soon. You felt much more secure, knowing that another class of Sophomore B's had arrived and you were no longer just a new kid. Remember that beautiful spring day when the basketball team won the state championship? The superintendent declared a half holiday, and it was one never-to-be-forgotten. lt was that year, too, when the beau- tiful Civic Auditorium was completed, and the whole student body thrilled to see the flag wave over it for the first time. Suddenly it was summer, and then fall again. You went back to school, but now as a junior, and it was marvelous! You started going to Louie's for the P.-T, A. dances after the football games. Studies were a little harder but you didn't mind much. A coke at Daniels after school was a necessity, and reversibles all the rage. Track became your passion. Then it was June and you ushered at graduation and as you watched that class receive their diplomas you thought, Next year it will be my turn. The summer went swiftly and, as the leaves began to fall in Oc- tober, you worried frantically about chemistry and history-you just couldn't understand them! You went to every football game. When the Cross-State basketball playoffs were held you went at every oppor- tunity. lt was wonderful to get out of school early and make the trip to the University Stadium. You wouldn't have missed it for anything! The day you slipped on the spangles in the cafeteria reminded you that matinee dances were being held after school, and you included them in your school program. All too soon it was May. You took your final exams and found that chemistry wasn't so bad after all, Then, as Senior A's, a warm evening in early summer, found you dressed in the traditional cap and gown, seated in the Auditorium, surrounded by relatives and friends. You went to the stage to receive your diploma, and returned to your place to sing Remembering Then, thinking of the many happy hours of your high school life, you walked out of the Auditorium, into the world.

-Jn fi, a 441:1- S!! ln l892 twenty students assembled in a fra ne building on Broadway Avenue to hold classes in high school work. The one room was heated by an old-fashioned pot-bellied stove. ln the winter it was a boy's chief delight to kick down the pipe so the school had to be closed for re- pairs. Miss Emma Yule, the only teacher, acted as principal also, One year later the school was moved to an upper room of the Monroe School, a large brick structure on Riverside. From then, for a period of about ten years, classes were held almost anywhere. Back to the Broadway school in l894, then to the second floor of a down-town office building, now known as the Colby Building, and finally, the Central School, the first building erected especially to accommodate the growing enrollment, was completed. lt was not until l909 that the building we call the Main was occupied. Now, fifty years after its humble beginning, the Everett High School takes up an area of two city blocks, has four buildings, a faculty of fifty-six teachers, and supplies the edu- cational needs of more than sixteen hundred students.
