iiimif Fifty years is quite a long time, thinking in terms of the present. A half century ago Indians still roamed portions of the Western plains and the city of Pittsburg Was but twelve years old. But 'twas just 50 years ago the first class was graduated from the Pittsburg Senior High School. What an important and eventful 50 years they have been, years which have seen more progress in all lines of endeavor than have combined centuries before. Through these years the Pittsburg Senior High School has taken long and regular strides forward to keep abreast of the times. First occupying a small, iframe building, the high school now is housed in a large, modern structure with a faculty of 30 highly trained educators. Since its beginning, the high school has been located in five different buildings-the first Wooden structure, the Washington sihool building recently razed, the Central school building, the Roosevelt junior high school building soon to be wrecked, and the present edifice erected in 1921.
