Palmer High School - Terror Trail Yearbook (Colorado Springs, CO)

ln the one hundred years since the first class of 5 graduated in 7879, buildings, philosophies, and activi'ties have progressed at Colorado Springs! Palmer l-ligh School. ln 7875 the community built the first high school of the region, the Old Stone School, which was located at the corner of Cascade and Bijou. Because that building was burned in 7890, on January 9, 7893, the students moved into the new one located at the corner of Weber and Platte streets. Due to the deterioration of that building, 47 years later the present structure was built to quench the community's thirst for the better and larger facilities for its students. The over-all changes in philosophy of the people at Palmer are reflected by the adaptation of school policies to their present state. At one time, talking among students was not allowed during passing time or when one walked in or out ofthe building, in addition, women, considered by some people to be academically and physically inferior to men, were not allowed to participate in particular clubs or sports. At present, however, the rules are more lenient. Although talking is limited in the classroom, students can converse in the halls or in the cafeteria while listening to the S.O. stereo system. There have also been great changes for the status of women in school: they are now accepted in SCL competition, providing they meet the requirements, and all clubs. Student activities encompass the traditional as well as modern ideas. Pikers' Day, now Senior Skip Day, is one of the oldest traditions, having been in existence since 7970. Brown and White Day, initiated in 7 926, and homecoming, established in 7 928, remain as significant parts of student life. New ideas, however, include MORP fprom spelled backwardj dance and l-lat and Nose days, which boost morale at games. Thus, as Palmer embarks into a new era, the memories and achievements of the past are still relevant to the present. The second 700 years will continue the progressions whi'ch shape the students of Palmer l-ligh School. PROGRESS! N 9 eq, 'ht
