STEVENS HIGH SCHOOL One of the most outstanding institutions in our community is Stevens High School. It was founded in 1868 by Paran Stevens, of New York City, whose ancestors had lived in Claremont for many years. Mr. Stevens donated ten thousand dollars, and the town matched his gift by raising fifteen thousand dollars. A committee of five prominent citizens of Claremont was chosen to execute Mr. Stevens' wishes. Accordingly, a two-acre lot was purchased at the corner of Broad and Summer Streets, and the building of the school was com- menced. It was ready for occupancy on the First of September, 1868. The total cost of the building amounted to S27,225.27. Mr. Stevens later made further gifts to the school, including two very valuable life-size oil por- traits and a concert piano. At his death the town received a substantial legacy to be used for the continuance and maintenance of the school forever. Throughout the intervening years Stevens High School has been a powerful influence in the life of Claremont.' It has graduated many famous men in all fields of learning, and it has never ceased to be one of the leading educa- tional forces in the state. its sons and daughters have shown real loyalty to it by returning each year for the annual Alumni Reunion, a red-letter day on Claremont's calendar of yearly events. Today Stevens High School continues to be a vital part in the framework of the newly-created City of Claremont. It is daily preparing the boys and girls of the city for further training in all professions, as well as in the practical arts of living. The school is a veritable powerhouse, for it is not only encouraging learning, but also valuable experience in fair play, coopera- tion, artistic appreciation, and physical development. The citizens of Clare- mont are indeed fortunate in having in their midst such a fine school as Stevens High. ROBERT DENSMORE, 1950
