' or N SEPTEMBER, 1890, students represent- ing the overflow of students from the Central Manual Training School, were cared for on the first and third floors of the William A. Lee primary school, on Howard Street, below Girard Avenue. When the next semester began in Septem- ber, 1891, shop equipment was installed on the first floor of the school. ln the same monthl, Mr. I. W. Moyer was placed in charge of the annex. ln the following September, Northeast became a separate institution with Dr. C. Hanford Henderson as Principal. After Dr. Hendersorfs Principalship that office was filled by Prof. I. Monroe Willard, who was succeeded by Dr. Andrew I. Morrison. Later an addition, which housed shops and laboratories, was built. ln a short time even two annexes were not sufficient to ac- commodate the great numbers clamoring for entrance, and the present structure was built in 1905. The cornerstone of the present build- ing was laid on Ianuary 8, 1905, by Mayor Weaver, in the presence of a large audience, including the entire student body. The building was dedicated on November 14, 1905, by Woodrow Wilson, at that time President of Princeton University. Dr. Andrew Morrison was principal at the time, and he held his post until his death in 1920. The present auditorium, Morrison Hall, was dedicated to him in the following year. The gymnasium, Shallcross Hall, was dedicated in the same year, in memory of Thomas Shallcross, who had been chairman of the Northeast High School Committee of the Board of Education. Upon the death of Dr. Morrison, Dr. George F. Stradling became Principal. After faith- fully serving Northeast for forty-one years Dr. Stradling quietly passed away on Ianu- ary 24, 1932. His successor was Dr. Theo- dore S. Rowland. ln the fall of 1890, the faculty consisted of six men, of whom the last survivor was Professor George D. Firmin, who retired in Iune, 1936. Shortly after moving to the present build- ing, the faculty and student body raised a large sum of money with which they pur- chased a pipe organ. Later a larger one was purchased and placed in Morrison Hall, but this was destroyed in a disastrous fire in 1935, and since then an excellent modern organ has been installed. Northeast Field was secured only after a hard fought battle against powerful odds. The Archive , a monthly magazine, ap- peared in September, 1892, under the able editorship of Vincent B. Brecht, now Profes- sor of English at Northeast. The Mega- phone appeared in March, 1923, as a mime- ographed sheet, with Stanley H. Lang as editor. The annual Fall Play and Spring Revue have given Northeast a dramatic record sec- ond to none. The first Revue was presented in 1921 and the first Senate Play in 1925. Now that Northeast is to be increased in size by an annex to be finished by Septem- ber, 1937, may it also increase in fame, scholastic and athletic merit, and always maintain at a high pitch, that unconquerable Northeast Spirit.
