KENNEWICK HIGH SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY

Page 6 text:

FIFTY YEARS As you relive the seasons of the 1954-1955 school year, you are asked to turn back in memory through the seasons since the first high school class entered Kennewick Schools. In August 1904 Kennewick School District 17 opened the high school division of public education in the North School on Fruitland Street. At that time there was a staff of three teachers. The first senior class, consisting of four girls and two boys, was graduated in 1908 from the new Wash- ington Street School, which is now the bus garage. The next school building to be constructed was the one which the sixth graders are now using. By 1916, eight years after the first high school grad- uation, the number of seniors had increased to twenty-three and the staff, to eight. In 1920 and 1921 there were several additions of interest to the high school students. The first Keewaydin was published in 1920. A French club, Les Bon Eleves, and the Associated Student Body was organized in 1921. In 1936 the Junior-Senior High School moved into a new home on Dayton Street. Since the num- ber of seniors reached eighty-three by 1945, more school construction was required. Plans were drawn for the new high school, which was ready for the fall semester in 1951. In the fiftieth anniversary of Kennewick High School there are thirty-four teachers and one hun- dred and ninety graduating seniors. Many addi- tions have been made to the curriculum. There are twenty-six student organizations, organized teams in football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and track as well as intramural teams for both boys and girls. The many changes in the community, which have served as a background for the increase in the number of buildings, staff members, students and their activities, may be the signposts which indicate the progress that Kennewick will make in the next fifty years.
