Crandall Superintendent of Schools The proud growth of high school education in San Jose is deeply rooted in the century of history at San Jose High School. As one ot the leading high schools of the State in academic achievement, San .lose High School was also a leader in the development of student body activities. The students of today have the graduates of former years and their great teachers to thank for making high school an exciting place in which to get an education. Graduates have streamed out of the proud halls of San Jose High School for one hundred years and have become the student leaders of Stanford, the University of California, San Jose State College, and other institutions of higher education all over the United States. They have become the prominent citizens of San Jose, of Santa Clara County, and the State and nation. We are proud of you, one and all, and extend best wishes to San .lose High School as it starts its second hundred years of history in San Jose. Earle P.

Mr, Gene G. Long Principal MA., Stanford U. Few high schools in California have qualified to celebrate their Cen- tennial -- San Jose High is one ot these few. The oldest high school in our State was established just six years prior to the time High was born in l863 under the leadership ot J. J. Bowen. Though not the oldest, there is no high school richer in tradition or loyalty ot its alumni, This loyalty was truly brought to light when on May l8th ot this year almost 2,000 people joined together at a banquet to celebrate High's l00th birthday, the oldest high school in the State had 1250 people at its l0Oth birthday party. As San Jose High enters its second one hundred years, it will continue to modify its curriculum to better prepare students to succeed in our increasingly complex society. The challenge of the tuture is great, but it will be met by present and future Highans as the challenges ot the past have been met by former students. GENE G. LONG Principal, San Jose High School IO9
