A: Ogeardscrabhlez '35 The School History c Three hundred years ago the lirst secondary school known as the Boston Latin School was founded. Many changes have taken place in secondary education during these three hundred years. The secondary school was followed by academies and later on by public high schools. Subject matter has been changed and institutions enlarged to make the training offered available and adaptable to all. The high school today is recognized as one of the vitally important factors in the training of youth. The high school has always been an important institution in Streator. The first high school of Streator was organized in 1875. It was the third high school in Illinois organized under the township system. This school was lirst located above the present office of the Times Press. In 1877 the school was moved to the old Methodist Church where the present Baptist parsonage is now situated. A new building in 1882 was the gift of Colonel Ralph Plumb and in 1902 an addition was built to this. This addition consisted of an assembly hall, laboratories, gymnasium, and an oiiice. In 1923 this building was torn down to be replaced by a new structure, dedicated in 1925. The original course of study included: English, French, German, Greek, Latin, sciences, taught from text books only, mathematics, con- sisting of, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and astronomy. One year of history and four years of drawing were compulsory, and two languages other than English were required for graduation. In the past sixty years the enrollment of the school has grown to such an extent that the faculty now numbers forty-two. There have been many additions to the course of study during this time. This year, three new subjects have been added. A Secretarial Training course, consisting of type, shorthand, bookkeeping, and general secretarial practice, is under the supervision of Miss Halsey, General Mathematics, under the guidance of Miss Ferguson, and Library Training under the direction of Miss Lampe. The purpose of this library course is to train pupils in library work, such as cataloguing, reference work, and the checking of over-due books. The attendance this year has been carefully checked by the Dean of Boys, Mr. Charleton, and the Dean of Girls, Miss Nachtrieb. A marked improvement in attendance can be seen over other years due to their efforts. They have been assisted in their offices by other faculty mem- bers and upper classmen. The Deans have also been assisted by Mr. Conner, the personnel officer. X141
