The present building was constructed and oc- cupied in the year 1924. So great was the mite- oi' increase in the rirgn scnooi enrou- ment that in 1928 it was necessary to build additions to the Davenport and Main Street buildings. The enrollment for these five years was as follows: in 1929-1930, 5623 1930- 1931, 794: 1931-1932, 7829 1932-1933, 8934 I9334934, 931- The Davenport High School is classi- fied in the State Department of Public Instruction as a four-year high school of- fering three courses-Academic, Commercial and General. Following the decline in the business and industrial world, the Continuation School became a thing of the past. This naturally increased the number of pupils seeking ad- mission to the high school and necessitated the remodeling of the whole scheme of housing for secondary school pupils. After much study, it was decided to house the three upper classes in the Davenport building and move the ninth grade into the Main Street building with the seventh and eighth grades, and placing them on a part-time schedule. Naturally so rapid a growth was attained by much confusion of opinion as to the aims, ideals and purposes of the secondary school for the best way of attaining them. HENRY S. IONES Superintendent As children from all social and economic groups make their way into the high school the original purpose of preparation for college became of minor importance, in its stead, education in secondary schools must prepare the student for any worthy aim in a life to be lived in an exceedingly com- plex, democratic, social state. A high school to properly fulfill its function must take into considera- tion the health of its pupils, their intellectual growth, and a proper develop- ment of their social senses. lt is a pursuance of this policy that the Ward P. Davenport High School is functioning during this period of reconstruction. 'IOHX IIRACE .IHRRY I.. MORRIS ,UNIX D,Xl'12HER'l'Y llli. C. C. GRORLENYSKI HARRY lx0CHT'R iIl!l. fl'I'II
