Y--aw-5 ., , SAN ANGELO HIGH SCI-IDOL Fiftyffive years of improvement have marked the progress of San Angelo High School. Founded in 1884, as a part of the common school district, it had no graduf ates until 1896, when Miss Edith Bowman, having completed the ninth grade-then the highest-finished. In 1903 the common school district was organized into an independent school district, and the number of trustees was increased to seven. There were five graduf ates that year. Since no electives were offered, all students took all the subjects taught. Football appeared on this Western horizon when the first San Angelo football team was organized in the school year of 1908f1909. During these early years the boys had to furnish all their equipment except pants and footballs. The school fur' nished one pair of pants for each member of the team and two footballs a year. There were no grandstands, no admission was charged, and few other than students attended the games, which were played in the afternoons after school. San Angelo's opponents were those towns along the railroad. Before a game volunteers were asked to furnish room or meals for the members of the visiting team. Then, as now, a high point was the party which followed the game. Ten years after the independent district was organized S. A. H. S. was ad' mitted to the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges as a pioneer member. Although the requirements for membership have become higher and higher, San Angelo High School has met them and maintained her affiliation with this orgaf nization from the time of her entrance until the present. The new 368,000 high school building was completed late in 1916, and in January 1917 the four high school grades moved into the new building on North Oakes. One of the first class to graduate out of the new location was Miss Mary Compton, now a member of the faculty. The only other graduate of S. A. H. S. who is now teaching in the high school is Miss Martha Brown, who graduated in '2Z. Miss Brown was loyal not to the 'LOrange and Blue, but to the Blue and Gray, for the name Bobcat and the colors orange and blue were not chosen until 1923. During the 20's, San Angelo High was feeling the effects of the oil boom. Crowded classes, short periods, and fewer study halls characterized the conditions. The halls were patrolled and-how terrible-no courting allowed fso they sayj. Throughout the years San Angelo High School has been one of those schools which have kept pace with the progress of education in the state, introducing new courses and new methods which gave promise of value. Recently an enlarged library, more tennis courts, and new clubs have added to the pleasures and opportunities of the students. Plans are being completed for greater improvement. The graduating class of 1939+a class of almost two hundred-is the largest in the history of the school. f
