GREAT FALLS HIGH SCHOOL URING the half a century which has passed since the Great Falls high school first senior class graduated, many changes have come about in the appearance of the school as well as in its curricular and extra curricular activities. Since there was some difficulty in getting the high school organized, the first school term started in October instead of September as has been the practice to the present time. Various buildings have been used for the high school. The Whittier school, built in 1886, was the first. This school was orig- inally built for the grades.
