MENAUL SCHOOL From Menaul all types of citizens have graduated, all indebted to the many men and women who have made Menaul possible through their prayers and gifts. Menaul was started in l88l as an Indian School by the Reverend Sheldon Jackson. The school was a contract school run by the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church. When the government took over the Indian school in 1886, property was purchased with the help of Albuquerque citizens, and for a few years, the Home Missions Board continued to oper- ate an Indian school. The school, built on the present location of Menaul School, was closed in 1891 and the buildings were left vacant for four years. The Reverend james Menaul, who was at the time pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque, made a request to the Presbyterian General Assembly for a school for Spanish- speaking boys. From this school Menaul has grown to what it is today. In 1916 the Reverend Harper C. Donaldson came to Menaul as superintendent. Mrs. Don- aldson came a year later and together with Mr. Donaldson helped hundreds of boys to build character on Grin foundations. The year l934 marks a new era in the history of Menaul. At this time the junior high school grades were transferred to Allison-James in Santa Fe, and Menaul became a co-educational senior high school. , V In 1953 Mr. and Mrs. Homer J. E. Townsend came to Menaul to take over the position of superintendent after Mr. Donaldson retired with thirty-seven years of service. Page Twenty-seven
