The school board, in providing for the thick walls and arched cloisters, modeled the building after the Franciscan missions which so successfully withstood the weathering of the years, the heat and rain of the California climate, and the earthquakes which sometimes rattled the countryside. Mr. F. S. Allen, Pasadena architect, remembered the claims that had been made for the 1898 building and what the 1906 earthquake did to it, in assuring that the catastrophe would not be repeated. What nature and the 1935 auditorium fire could not do, the needs of the expanding San lose State College for space succeeded in doing. The state, which had given the high school permission, by act of the State Legislature, to build on the state college land, withdrew its hospitality and ordered the school razed.

'lllllllIlllllllllIllIlIllllllllllllllIllIIIIIIllIllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllll WHEN THE AUDITORIUM BURNED lt was early Thursday morning iMarch l4, l935D ,and l was home listening to my crystal set, Mr. James Hood, then a San Jose High School student and now mathematics department chairman, recalls. My father phoned from downtown to say the school was on fire. I hopped on my bicycle and pedaled over to the school. There was a big crowd there already, and we formed a bucket brigade. The musical instruments were in a little room off the side balcony. Some of the fellows got up there and started tossing them down to the people below to save them, but there were three times as many people tossing as there were people catching, so some of the instruments were wrecked, Mr. Hood added. The staff of the school paper, The Herald, which had already been made up for issuance that day, revised the dummy to provide a full Csix-columnj banner, Auditorium Demolished by Fire, and borrowed the photo reproduced below from the San Jose News. The lead story, by Clar- ence Brunhouse, reported the damage to the school was estimated at 575,000 by the superintendent, Mr. Walter L. Bachrodt, and he noted the loss was covered by insurance. The fire, the story related, was discovered at 4:57 a.m., and it was ll a.m. before it was completely under control.

SAN JOSE HIGH SCHOOL, 1868-'I898 During 1867 the school board, acting in coniunction with the mayor and the Common Council, bobght six lots on the north side of Santa Clara Street between 6th and 7th streets for 53,250 The new 520,000 building, fi- nanced bythe 1864 525,000 bond issue and subsequently called Horace Mann School, opened on Jan. 1, 1868. iSee earlier photo.l Both the high school and grammar school used the eight-room, three-story brick and stone building, with high school classes primarily on the second floor, former State Sen. Herbert C. Jones of the class of '98 re- calls. A shack in back was also used, and chemistry labora- tory facilities were in the basement, with some high school classes on the third floor, students recall. The building was too crowded, however, for the growing population. Evidence of the community's growth was the mounting list of alumni, who organized in 1879. SAN JOSE HIGH SCHOOL, 1898-1906 The story of one of the finest high schools in the state has been told in part in captions beneath photos earlier in this volume. Ground was broken in 1897, and the school was dedicated on Sept. 30, 1898. The course of study, which had been set at two years in 1868 and extended to three years in 1876, had drawn the criticism of the University of California as not provid- ing enough time for the adequate study of Latin. So, in 1896, it was extended to four years. Perhaps in recogni- tion of this improvement, the university sent its only pro- fessor of pedagogy iteachingl, Elmer Brown, to speak at the dedication of the handsome brick and stone three-story structure, located once more on Washington Square, now called Normal Square. The building had been designed by Jacob Lenzen and Son, and the cost, S75,000, lust matched the amount of the bond issue which had been voted. lts scope is indicated by the fact that the assembly hall would seat 1,500 to 2,000 people, The crowding had forced students to march in and out of the Horace Mann building. This would no longer be necessary in the spacious new building, the San Jose Weekly Mercury of Saturday, Aug. 27, 1898, boasted. An additional advantage was the ,fact that classes will not be annoyed by passing street cars, as they have been in the past. ' , A whimsical touch, the message presumably scrawled by a student as the 1908 building was emptied in 1952, was captured by a San lose Mercury photographer. f 'N's.a..Q- Robertson, Ruth Rousten, Mario Royal, Dorothy Rule, Gertrude Russell, Madeline Salisbury, Dwight Scales, Mayme Schatz, Hans Sharp, Adelaide Shaw, Frank Sheldon, Viola Sousa, Ethel Steding, Mary Stevenson, Elmo Stork, Marlitt Stout, Leola, Stratton, John Straub, Alwine Swanson, Gladys Thomas, Faith Thurber, Mildred VanHorn, Mildred Walker, Elizabeth Walker, Earl Walton, Adaline Walton, Mary Webb, Mary Whaley, Marcus Wlaiffen, Alice Whitten, Josephine Wilson, Caroline Withrow, Ethel Wood, lra Wool, Fred Worswick, Mildred CLASS OF 1923 JUNE Aby, Charles Allen, Margaret Anderson, Yvonne Armstrong,Catherine Arnerich, Genevieve Bailey, Charles Baker, Dorothy Baker, Harlan Bal-.er, Lenore Baker, Thelma Beatson, Norman Beauchamp, Thelma Bena, Anna Biaggini, Albert Burk, Eva Blanchard, Vivian Blanton, Bettie Bradley, Edward Brittell, Mary Brunner, Willaim Brunst, Gwendolyn Burnett, Martha Candee, Frances Carmichael,Mary Carnahan, Chalon Carroll, Frank Center, Hugh Clement, Charlotte Cleveland, Leora Cline, Mary Concklin, Florence Concklin, Ralph Cook, Alberta Cortese, Katherine Craft, Beniamin Cupples, Robert Curtis, Lyman David, Helen Davis, Paul Dee, Edith Delear, Enrest Down, Mabel Downer, Ruth Dubsky, Helen Dunn, Mona Elliot, Ruth Elsea, Elmer Emery, Allen Feltersack, Evelyn Fart, Mildred Frost, George Gaw, Harold George, Alfred Cerdts, Hermann Gifford, Mariorie Glader, Ethel Greene, Lelia Greenleaf, Charles Hancock, Joseph Hart, Evelyn Hassler, Grace Hawkinson, Lydia Henderson, Edward Hensill, Geneva Hensill, George Hepburn, Helen Heple, Earl Herold, Bertha Hill, Ruth Hinkley, Harry Holt, Laura Hunter, Ian lngleson, Dorothy Jacobson, Hilda James, Frances James, William Jensen, Bernhardt Jensen, Ernest Johnson, Edna Johnson, Noble Keegan, Wences Kennedy, Kathryn Keplinger, Lester Koeck, Ruth Kottinger, William liynaston, Marna LaDine, Walter Lanotti, Felix Lapham, Cora Lee, Beulah Lefranc, Nelty lenzen, Theodore Letsom, Norris Lewis, Kenneth Luhdorff, Anne Lyle, Leland McCain, Byrl McClay, Dorothy Mayo, Anna Menzel, Anna Miller, Charles Mills, Virginia Mitchell, Clarence Moore, Rupert Needham, Frances Nelson.
