North High School A REVIEW of the founding and development of North high school, although history, is always new to the faculty and alumni as well as undergraduates. In 1887, high school classes were organized in the old Franklin school. Afterwards they were moved to the Lowell school until the first North high building was erected in January, 1889, on the site of the present Logan School. This building was occupied until 1896 when a second North high was erected on the present site. This building has been a gradual evolution and although built piece-meal has been well adapted to the growth of the school. The first addition was the south wing used for manual training and commercial work. In 1913, a fire destroyed all the building ex- cept the present auditorium and gymnasium wing, and part of the north wing which was partially fire proof. A new North high was erected. Then followed the addition of the greenhouse, the automotive department, and lastly the north west wing in which are the music rooms. It is the only strictly senior high school in the city, having only second, third, and fourth year students enrolled. 1889 to 1929 has seen a growth in enrollment from about one hundred seventy-five pupils and seventeen teachers to two thousand six hundred twenty-two pupils with a faculty of one hundred two. A force of twelve engineers, nine lunchroom women, and five ofliee clerks is required. —W. W. Hobbs, Principal. Klcvcn
