HISTORY OF NORTH HIGH THE early prospects of North arc best described by its first principal. John H. Greer, after his inspection in '88. “It seemed to me that a high school could never be developed where there was nothing in sight but woods, squirrels, and a number of cows leisurely drinking from the quiet waters of Todd's pond.” Prior to 1889, Old Central” was the only high school in the city. The first North classes were organized in 1887 in the old Franklin building. Later, they were held in the Lowell school, until the first North high was completed on the site of the present Logan school. On January 2. 1889. Mr. Greer, three teachers, thirty-five high school students, and seven hundred sixty-five first to eighth graders” filed into this building. The first class of sixteen members was graduated in 1891 from the old” Logan, shown above. In 1892. Mr. Greer left to assume the principalship of Central high, and Waldo W. Hobbs came to North high. In 1896. a second North high school was erected on the present site. This new school had thirteen class rooms, eight recitation rooms, an assembly seating 900. and a library, laboratories. shops, and drawing rooms. In 1902 the growth of the school necessitated the removal of the grade department. The first addition was the south wing for manual training and commercial work in 1907. The last, the northwest wing, housing music, industrial art classes, and class rooms, was built in 1924. The year 1913 brought a temporary set back, when a fire demolished much of the building. A new North was erected, offering opportunities not afforded before. In 1920. student registration which had had an increase of only 23 pupils in five years, soared to 2.297: and in June. 1930. the student body numbers 2.690 with a graduation class of 419. The administrative department has grown from 60 in 1915 to 104 in 1930. A force of twelve janitors, nine lunchroom workers, and five office clerks, replace the two helpers that formerly sufficed. Each successive administration has been the realization of earlier prophecies. Out of its small material beginnings. North has grown to be the institution that we know. 1892—w. W.
