Salida School District We've been here a century We've been here a century! The Salida School District was created in 1879 — 100 years ago! We’ve been here to see the birth of the Smel- tertown smokestack, we saw it become a Salida landmark, and we almost saw its destruction. We’ve been here to see the Salida area become a prospering community. On June 12,1879, a petition was submitted to E. R. Naylor, County Superintendent of Schools, asking that he form a school district on the territory near the junction of Little River and the Arkansas River. On June 26, that year, the district was established. In 1882, a $4000 bond issue was floated to construct a two-room, stone building at the cor- ner of Third and D Streets. It became the first school building in Salida. In 1891, a $20,000 bond issue was passed to erect a school on H Street between Seventh and Eighth Streets. In 1904, a senior high build- ing was constructed at the corner of Ninth and D Streets. These are a few of the major developments that have taken place throughout the existence of our school district. Along with education, another major devel- opment in the community was the building of the Smeltertown smokestack. Although the stack was part of a thriving industry for only a few years, it has become a landmark, and for a time looked as though it would be as vital to the area as education. The stack was just one of the industries, or businesses that encouraged the growth of the school district. The community is closely associated with the schools because so many downtown activi- ties involve young people or revolve around school sports, drama, journalism, music, and mutual economic involvements. Things effect- ing students, frequently effect townspeople. We like it this way, now as it was then. Against this background, Le Resume records the changes, improvements, happenings of yet another year. The last of the first 100. Debbie Theotokatos Editor 2
