34 eam af waALiaLum The History of Wahkiakum High School dates back to the year 1913 when the first student enrolled in the ninth grade of the old grade school building, which stood in front and to the left of our present school. This building, shown in the sketch to the left, was torn down in 1926. In 1915 the present school building was started but wasn't completed as we know it today. The Superintendent's office was then located in the teachers room on the first floor. There were only two large rooms and one small one upstairs where the high school classes were held. Additional classes were held for a time in the old grade school building. The first student to graduate was Hazel Bailey, Mrs. Gerald Sonners of Chehalis, in 1917. The first class, however, graduated in 1918 and consisted of three students, Odessa Wise four clerk Mrs. Osborneb, Walter Haslem, and Alenya Linquist Cwho taught many of the present high school X, students in the first gradel.

One of the highlights of our school's histor was the building of the 510,000 g m ancl the improving and Y Y regrading of the athletic field through the help of the townspeople. The old gym known as the play-shed was later made into two modern rooms known as the shop and music room. The annual Wa-Ki-Hi came out for the last time in 1931. The whole building was remodeled in 1936 and many other improvements were made around the school and grounds. The first annual since 1931 came out in 1938 and the name was changed to Lamele which is the Chinook jargon used by the Indians meaning the mule. . .... -4..Ls,.
