The High School HE High School of Grand lsland was organized in 1882 and the first class which graduated was that of 1883, consisting of five members, four girls and one boy. Previous to the fall of 1882, though the most advanced pupils were assembled in one room, it was not organized as a High School. During that fall the school was organized and the first course of study adopted. Since that time the High School has kept pace with the city. While the city has reached a population of l2,500, the High School has reached a total enrollment of 268, an advance over last year of 26 pupils and over the year be- fore of 60. As the years pass by, its principals have been Mrs. Caldwell, Vina Watts, E. E. Cole, j. H. Thompson, Mr. Bachelor, W. H. Baird, A. H. Waterhouse and J. F. Matthews who has held the position for the last twelve years. Each year the old quarters became more crowded until the High School was using nine rooms on the second floor of the Dodge building and was even then crowded to overflowing, with What shall we do with the new comers? the all important question. In 1906, the Board of Education began the construction of a new High School building, located between Ninth and Tenth streets, at a cost of SS75,000. lnto this building we moved during january, 1908, and even now the assembly room is entirely full. This High School is one of the most advanced in Nebraska. lt is a four- year accredited school with six courses: Latin, German, English, Normal Training, Business, and College Preparatory, each being a four-year course. ln athletics, Grand Island has always been noted for playing a clean game, and no person is allowed on the team who is not a bona fide student and up in his studies. The Senior class of the High School each year gives a class play, and also, are the sponsors for this Annual. This class is now composed of forty-two members, although when it entered four years ago the total enrollment was eighty-three.
