Hoofemg Packtoarb 6LENVILLE High School began in the North Doan building when that building was only half as large as it is now. Under the super intendency of Mr. II. L. Cosgrove, the first class, three in number, was graduated in 1892. Mr. W. H. Payne then became Superintendent. Two years later this office again changed hands when Mr. H. H. Cully was elected. Under his guidance, the course of study was changed from three to four years, more teachers were added, and a wider choice of studies was offered, so that a gradual but steady improvement took place. As the number of pupils increased, necessity for more room led the people of Glenville to enlarge the building the addition being completed in 1897. The High School was moved into what then seemed a large room, from which classes passed out to a new recitation rooms in the attic and basement. Soon, however, it so outgrew these quarters that many makeshifts were resorted to until the demand for a separate High School building grew so pressing that the townspeople once more bestirred themselves to meet the inevitable. After almost two years of debate the site was chosen and the present home of the High School was erected and dedicated, October, 1904. For the first time the pupils had room enough. With all the new advantages, however, they did not and never will forget the happy school days in the “Old Building.” For one year only did they have more room than was needed. Even before the dedication, annexation had been decreed and, all the details having been effected, this was accomplished fully before the opening cf the present school year. The Glenville schools now became a part of the Cleveland system, and the High School was retained with Mr. Cully as Principal. For some time he had kept the Glenville course parallel to that of the city so that the Glenville boys and girls took up the Cleveland course without jar of any kind. As East High was badly overcrowded new boundaries were established, sending about two hundred and twenty-five pupils to occupy the available space here. This increase will make it possible to compete with the other High Schools in those lines that require numbers from whom to draw,— athletics and debate. However, since the increase was almost wholly in the first and second years, it will take a year or two for our prowess to appear. On the other hand there has been evident a growing spirit of loyalty among the new and old pupils which augurs well in all lines for the future of Glenville High. B. M. P., ’07. 2
