An addition to the north side in 1888 added two rooms. High school continued in this building 38 years until a brick school was built in 1913 on the same block. The high school moving to a district of its own rented three classrooms. a laboratory and assembly C57 by 25 feetl room. The modern building had steam heat. modern plumbing and 40 watt tungsten electric lights. This building isgpresently the Joel Wood. The 1928 class was the lst to graduate from it. Only three dpercent of Palatine graduates attende these two schools. The sketch is the work of Dick Alcina, 1973. who is now a landscape architecture student at the University of Illinois. The school pictured below was named Joel Wood in 1956. Prior to that it was known as the Wood street school, and the name above the door reads Palatine. finyf xt'-4 T ' K ,. 1' Y' , .af . 1 vt. .
