: i It was not long before Gary sprang up, providing homes for the mill workers. This community soon outgrew Tolles- ton so in 1910, Tolleston was annexed to Gary. In that year the'biggest property boom in history took place. Also, the Gary School System, founded by Mr. William A. Wirt, began to gain fame. Time marches on: . Nineteen hundred and twenty—three marked t..e birth ot Tolleston School. Hr. H. S. Jones, director of social stud- ies, presided as principal during the first year. His suc- cessor’ was Kiss Lola 3. Peai-y. She led Tolleston through ,- its development from a primary to a junior high school, and $ ; 5 it was Hiss Pearcy's fondest desire that Tolleston would; ■ f i some day graduate its first high school class. All her aims were directed toward this end, hut she did not live to see her ambition fulfilled. In January, 1934, she quietly passed on, but the memory of her kindly spirit will forever remain dear to the hearts of all who knew her. ■ = Mr. James W. Standley became principal in 1934. Kis l| progressive ideas and plans began to take form when it was announced that Tolleston would at last have a senior high announce a — . school. Therefore, each following year an additional graa$ - was added. Time marches on! The day is almost here when Tolleston will graduate its first senior class. On that day the dreams of Father Mar- quette, George Tollo,Miss Thomas, Miss Pearcy, Mr. Standley, and every loyal Tollestonian will be realized. But this is not the end, by any moans, for time will march crij and with it will march the progress of Tolleston. 7
