A SHE TEH EISE HUWEH ET us turn the hands of Father Time back through the ages and focus our attention on the growth and development of the Eisenhower High School, lt is l87O and Norristown gazes proudly upon its newest gain, a small sturdy building called the Norristown High School. Time Marches On and in l884 the present system of co-education was introduced in the school. In touring the building in l884, we find that the McCann Library occupied rooms I2 and l4 while the auditorium consisted of rooms Zl and 23. What a contrast to our present arrangementl Time Marches On and in l896 Spice made its first appearance. With the coming of the new century in l900, came a complete renovation of the school. In l903 it assumed its present shape. Athletics were initiated at this time and in l909 the athletic field was first put to use. Norristown played its parts in the growing modernization era of the world in the introduction of such things as student government, forensics, and dramatics in the school. ln l928 Hi-Eye and Handbook made their debut. From this time on, Eisenhower, now named, progressed rapidly and became a leading school of the area, And so Time Marches On, and in the year l938, the Old Eisenhower will give way to the New for which it has so splendidly paved the way. We shall enter the new school with cherished memories of the past and with the hope that our New Eisenhower will carry on the high standards and the tra- ditions ofthe Old Eisenhower as Time Marches On.
