Memories of festeraay Ssortlj tsxpan s During 1889-1319 period 77ie history of North High reaches back to the year 1889, first located in Forest Home Building, Forest Avenue and Thirteenth Place. When the doors opened, attendance was only thirty-two, but in four years, attendance was two- hundred and seven. The offered sports were football, basketball, baseball, and track. Curriculum consisted of college entrance subjects, english, latin, greek, german, mathamatics, and science. Like all evolutionary processes, our activities and events were seedlings planted in early North history. In 1902 the Oracle spoke for the first time, and our first paid football coach assumed management. North ' s first touchdown was scored October 15, 1904 against Boone. Our school colors pink and green, were chosen in 1894 by Norths first principal. It was spring time and the com- mittee noticed how pretty the apple bloosoms were. They saw hope, joy, and spirit of youth in the green, and faith, fresh ness, and charity in the pink. 1903 was the beginning year of the flourishing organizations of art, drama, and music. Each were a leading feature of North. Other clubs were Junior Chamber of Commerce, Girls ' and Boys ' Bible clubs, Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. organizations, French club, and Debate club. The girls were busy doing service under the Red Cross Program. The fall of 1911, enrollment of North High had in- creased two-fold, with the faculty numbering eighteen. By the end of the 1907 football season, North had developed and cheered on a city championship team. North cheered yet still another winning team in 1917. That year five North boys placed on the all-city team. The years 1913 and 1914 were spent boosting for a new building. The newspapers were filled with North High ' s need. Parents, teachers, students, and alumni, working together revived the North High School spirit. Finally the breaking of the sod came true on March 23, 1914. The new building, located at 8th and College streets was finished ac- cording to promise, and in 1915 seven-hundred students and twenty-five teachers took possesion. 1907 Football City Champions 1903 North High Orchestra 1884 — Television invented 1892— The Zipper invented 1901— President McKinley assassinated 1903— First airplane 1912— Wilson became President 1917— US enters WW I 2
