GRQWTH GF YAKIMA HIGH SCHOOL ln 1908, school officials told Yakima citizens that the huge new North Yakima high school had been built with an eye to the future-that it was large enough to accommodate students of Yakima forever. Today, although four additions have been built over and around it, the school is not large enough to handle easily the seventeen hundred students now enrolled. The first Yakima high school was built in 1894. This school burned and in 1908 the new school was dedicated with the present cafeteria as a gymnasium. It was soon necessary to transform the gymnasium into two classrooms and later into the cafeteria. The auditorium then was in the place where the library is now. The great increase in enrolment by 1920 necessitated the building of the Sixth avenue addition in 1921. A few years later the mechanical arts building and shop were added. W 8y 1936 the enrolment had increased so that it was impossible to accommodate the sixteen hundred students in the auditorium and library. So, in the fall of 1936, the large, new auditorium, with a seating capacity of over sixteen hundred, was dedicated. ln the same year the old auditorium was remodeled for use as a library. ln the Fall of 1937 a third story was added to the Sixth avenue building. This addition includes a new foods laboratory, a study hall, a sewing room and several classrooms. Cn page three is a picture of the new auditorium and on the pages before you are pictures of the addition to the Sixth avenue building as seen through the entrance to Lions park and of the new foods laboratory. These additions have made possible the addition of many and varied courses to the curriculum. We can live without music and art and books, But civilized men cannot live without cooks. lf. f LOLOMI .
