SAN JOSE HIGH SCHOOL, 1908-1952 A school for the ages, the 1898 structure could have been dubbed, but it was not to endure. The great earth- quake of Wednesday morning, April 18, 1906, Cdescribed, and its effects on San Jose High School pictured, on page 115 left the roof tilted crazily askew, the building wrecked. Students found temporary class facilities in emer- gency aid stations, the newspapers of the time report. Sessions were cut to half a day to ease the crowding. In the fall, high school classes were squeezed into the old Lincoln School,,at 408 Almaden Ave., so tightly that the October Bell reports girls had to stop wearing the fluffy starched skirts because of the iam on the stairways. Just six months after the earthquake, the voters, on Oct. 20, approved a 575,000 bond issue for a new and sturdier school. F. H. Allen of Pasadena designed the mission-type, university-style wings. The contract was let June 20, 1907, and Z. O. Field of San Jose was named contractor. The cornerstone was laid Admission Day, Sept. 9, 1907. An additional 520,500 in bonds for school furn- ishings was authorized March 21, 1908. On Sept. 9, 1908, a year after the cornerstone cere- mony, the new building between 6th and 7th streets at San Fernando Street was dedicated. Rough cement plaster exteriors, red tile roofs, archways and cloisters and two towers were the dominant features of the school, which was most familiar to the bulk of the adult San Jose popu- lation of today. The central auditorium was a landmark, until the clay it burned in 1935. Aerial view was taken just before completion of present campus in 1952. Julian Street cuts across center of ptoto, with girls' gym below it at right, shop areas to left. Above it are the main win,f.fs, boys, gym, and athletic field area. Total school site covers 35 acres. Ross, Beatrice Ross, Howard Rogers, Thomas Rolandetti.

Kump Associates, architects and planning consultants of Palo Alto, drew the plans. The new structure won immediate recognition when it was selected in i952 by the Museum of Modern Art in New York as one of the 43 outstanding American buildings of the postwar period. Still another honor was accorded the designers when, in l954, the building was given the award of merit by the American Institute of Architects in Washington, D.C. Walls of concrete block masonry, solid grouted, were placed on a concrete foundation. An exposed sandblasted finish was used. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIlllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllIllIlIllllllllIlllllllllllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll A workmen checks smoothness of the front court of the present home of San jose High School, first used in September, 1952, and dedicated Sunday, Nov. 2, 1952.
