CNIOR IGI-I C' HE twentieth century was but a few years old when the boys and girls of West Seneca township streamed from their farm and village homes along muddy roads and board side walks to the imposing school building on Ridge Road across from the pic- turesque Wiggins homestead. The Franklin theater and the Post Office now occupy a site which each spring bloomed with apple and cherry blossoms 5 each summer offered the cool green shade of gigantic elms and chestnutsg and rang with youthful laughter as winter sports took possession of the hill that is now Franklin Street. A panic and a great World War failed to stop the onward march of the young community, now Lackawanna, and three schools were built within a few years. The Steel City was on its way. The class of 1923 boasted twelve members. Within a half-dozen years, however, the elementary grades had been transferred to Franklin School and Lackawanna High had outgrown its first home. In the month of the great stock market crash of 1929, the building was, as we know it, completed, and at long last we had a gymnasium. But in two more years, so phenomenal was the growth of school system, the Lincoln Annex was opened for freshmen, and ex- panded until it housed almost five hundred students. Only a few years later the new build- ing, crowded and inadequate, surrendered its freshmen class to the Franklin Annex, and thus we find ourselves today--a house divided. Not until their senior year do our students join hands in common goals, and by that time almost half of the original class has left' school. Our most urgent need today is a cafeteria which we feel sure is a prominent part of the plans of our Board of Education. And now, at mid-century, Lackawanna High School faces the future with high hopes and undiminished confidence that its steady and vigorous growth will continue. 5
