George Wythe Junior High School two-session day was necessary. Pupils of the third and fourth years attended from 8:20 A. M. until noon, and those of the first and second vears from 12:30 to 4:10. In 1922 the George Wythe Junior High School, situated just across the street from the John Marshall High School, was opened. Although originally intended as a junior high school, it was immediately made part of John Marshall because of the crowded condition of the latter school. In September, 1928, the enrollment of the school had increased to such an extent that a double session was necessary in George Wythe building. As the history of John Marshall High School is, after all, the history of secondary education in Richmond, it is with great pleasure that we learn that the construction of a splendid new high school in the West End is now in progress. The new school will be occupied in September, 19303

Memorial Tablet Dedicated 1920 IN 1918, during the Great War, twenty-two male teachers were furloughed for military duty, and five hundred alumni of John Marshall were in the service. In the fall of 1918 the great influenza epidemic reached its height. The hospitals of Richmond were overcrowded, and additional quar- ters had to be secured. The high school building seemed the most suitable building available, and accordingly the school was closed for this purpose on October 4. Within three days the desks had been re- moved, beds placed in the rooms, and patients admitted. The school accommodated about a thousand patients. It was used for a month, the building being reopened for school purposes on November 7. In 1920 a bronze tablet in memory of the sixteen alumni who fell in the Great War was dedicated. The tablet was a gift from the Patriotic Society of the school, and was placed in the lobby of the building. The inscription was written by Miss Ray Van Vort, head of the Department of English. coe c eee SS EE AED
