In mathematics one learns that the whole equals the sum of its parts. The result can be no more. In education the institution can be no more success- ful than the efforts of its administration, faculty, and students. Shortly after 1886 the high school became a vital part of New Hanover County's educational system. Until 1896 XY'ilmington's secondary school was located in a little one-story schoolhouse just south of the courthouse on Third Street. Then in 1897 the first graduating exercises were held in Tileston School, and certificates were presented to three girl graduates. The 1910 and 1918 annexes were added because of rapid growth: and by 1921 the new high school at Thirteenth and Market Streets was completed and occupied. Development since 1921 has been rapid for N1-IHS. The elementary school at Isaac Bear moved to Chestnut Street, and the high school expanded into that building. Then Vocational Building was occupied, and the bakery building on the south side of Market Street became the headquarters for the only secondary ROTC unit in the Carolinas. The bakery garage was walled in for a band room. In 1954 Brogden Hall and Memorial Building were first used, and the area which was Thirteenth Street be- tween there and the main building was incorporated into the campus. The Isaac Bear Building was consequently vacated to Wilmington College. As the school buildings filled the available area, Pembroke Jones Park became more popular with the students as a recreational area. In 1959 HFUMM Pri e we see the new Industrial Center offered new shops, laboratories. band facilities, offices, and additional classrooms. Yet, while this physical growth provided for the in- crease from three graduates in 1897 to the four hundred fifty in 1959, the important growth has been in the curric- ulum presented to prepare these students for the life each is to live after his direct contact with the school ends. In 1959-1960 there were thirty-eight commercial class- es. sixty-two English classes, thirty-eight mathematics classes, thirty-seven natural science classes, fifty social studies classes, twenty-nine trade classes, five in art, four in Bible, three in distributive education, five in drama, six in driver education, thirteen in health and physical education, twelve in home economics, twenty-one in lan- guages, seven in library service, seven in music, and twelve in ROTC. One hundred staff members and twenty-two hundred students were mixed well with these offerings of the curriculum to make the NHHS pie. Greater success comes with each class as the number and caliber of awards and scholarships and recognitions climb-each year soaring above the record set by the pre- ceeding class. This progress in plant, in number of teachers and students, in achievement, in curriculum, in knowledge has thrived as an outstanding example of how in educa- tion the shadows of a small beginning have given way to the sunshine of the present. A victory is being won -and the battle is one of which everyone can be very proud. uv I Iam Olfll' HOYJ...
