Saga of South T was fall of 1885 and a handful of boys and girls proudly climbed flight after flight of the wooden stairs that led to the attic of Adams school. Separating into still smaller groups they filed into four small rooms that during the previous sum- mer had been equipped with a few benches and a desk. For those students it was the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. But little did they realize that they were writing the opening chapters of a history-the history of an institution. That garret in Adams school became the birthplace of South High School. For a few years those four rooms were suflicient to accommodate the small num- ber of students who were able or willing to continue their education beyond the eighth grade. Severely simple though their environment was, their ambitions could hardly be characterized as such. Before many years that small group of students was publishing a school paper called the South Side High School Observer issued each month. Its first editor was A. B. Smith and its exchange editor was Iames Fisher who was later to become a member of South High faculty. In Iune, 1892, when Minneapolis was swarming with delegates to the Repub- lican National convention which was being held in the Exposition building, South High wrote its name into the annals of that event. Its manual training class con- structed the table used by the chairman of that convention which promptly renomi- nated President Harrison as its candidate for the presidency of the United States. That same table was again used at the party's convention in 1896 at St. Louis where William McKinley was nominated and again in 1900 at Buffalo, N. Y., where President McKinley was renominated and Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for the vice-presidency. This table bearing suitable memorials of all those events now stands in the library of the school. In the same month of that same year when the eyes of the nation were on Min- neapolis where the delegates were in convention, twenty-seven young men and women were assembling for an event that was to live long in their memories. On Iune 14 they held the first commencement exercises of the new high school and Oro AD mis SLIIOOI. V, hi .1 A A A THE 1933 TIGER MMMN-M AAAA MM' ' I171
