The history of our school is one that all students can be proud of I t was born through the efforts of B.Wf Ashton, and unlike other schools, it was Hrst set up in three divi- sions. The next year H907-19082, howev- er, James E. Moss was made the Hrst principal. Under the guidance of his ad- ministration, which lasted until 1913, the basketball, baseball, and football teams were organized. In 1906-1907 our first basketball team was organized, and in 1909-1910 placed second in state. Then, in 1908 the base- ball team was organized, and it took first place. The Hrst football team included one girl so as to round out the required eleven players. In order to play the team had to buy their own uniforms. This all paid off however, for in 1909-1910 the football team tied for second place. Sports was not the only activity that Granite excelled in. We have the distinc- tion of publishing the Hrst yearbook in the state during 1909-10. Through the years it has won nationwide acclaim for its excellence in quality and continuing growth. Also in the Held of publications The Granite Marquee was erected by the classes of 1977 and 1978.

Bennion succeeded Mr. Moss in 1913 and under his direction the school continued to grow and expand. Tennis was introduced, and a club pro- gram was initiated by the establishment of the Ag fAgriculture1 Club and the Home Ec Club. Another accomplishment under his administration was the school seal being designed by Laurina Eldredge, a senior, and the Song of the GQ com- posed by Miss Grace Trout, a former music teacher at Granite. During its 79 year history the student body population has changed greatly. In 1906 only 53 students were enrolled, and it was not until 1909 that the first gradu- ation excercises were held - for one stu- dent. Today the enrollment stands at about 1,050 students, a large jump from the early years of our school. Now after more than a quarter of a century, Granite glances back at her ac- complishments with pride, then confi- dently turns to meet the challenge ofthe future.
