Truth is surely more surprising than fiction after all." . “Ya-3;; Jew urrin the same small town-loved each other just as sisters and there wasn't a secret either of us had that the other did not share." (There was one, thank Heavens, she had been spared, the one that only my father and I knew. The secret of her sudden death). I began to weep. "Oh, Pm sorry my child. I should not have opened an old wound," and she came over and placed her hand on my head. "let us not speak of your mother attain because it makes you very sad." "Oh, no, it's all right, really,” I re- plied, “I love hearing about her from you and how pleased she must be to know that I have you right here be- side me tonight." I had regained by composure and we spoke of many things. Books, the theatre, psychology and modern art. Her mind was a treasure house of precious stones, the faces of which were scintillating thoutthu-thoutthU polished with a broad interest and love for people that "ttisve her the simplicity of the truly great. She was that'unususl and very de- lightful sort of person who could hold a room full of listeners spell bound as she talked and yet she, herself. was a perfect audience, pausing unselfish- ly at frequent intervals in the conver- sation and drawing from your mind its very beat until suddenly your most ordinary ideas seemed to glow in new words ind become worthwhile.

The flmt class, consisting , of one 'member-Milton Baker, who now resides in Port Dodge, Iowa. graduated in 1885. At this time the manner and high! schools were together at the site of the present ”Elm Place grammar school. The next year there were six members in the gnduating class of whom all are living. ' High School Founded In 1887 "In September 1887. in response to a popular demand, the school began its independent career in the room above Brand Brothers Paint shop, on the corner of West Central avenue and Second street, in Highland Park," says Dr. Peter C. Wolcott, former member and later secretary of the ‘board of education. "Mr. John T. Ray, as principal, we: assisted by Miss Bertha Baker, now Mrs. E. B. Green, and they two con- stituted the faculty. , "The Brat election for a township high school board of education was held in April 1890, and resulted in the choice of Prof. Elisha Gray, who be- came its tirist president; Mr. L. o. Brockway, who was the first secre- tary; Mr. Silas Brand, Mr. Daniel Pease, and Mr. George Rockenbock. First Commencement In 1890 "The first commencement was held on May 29, 1890, and Miss Bertha Moses and Miss Marie Raften were the first graduates. At this time Mr. E. W. Chase was' principal, having succeeded Mr. Ray in 1888. "Od November 6, 1893 there was a fire in the building and the classes were moved to the Thompson block until December M, when they return- ed to the Brand block. "Mr. James H. Shields/to whom the school owes so much, was elected a member of the high school board in April 1895, and continued in oMee un- til Janimry 1912, a period of nearly seventeen years," states Dr. Wolcott. "The tuition in 1895 was fifteen dol- lars a year. At the present time it is two hundred Mty-five dollars a year. Looked For New Bite In 1895 "The rooms which the school oecu-x pied were small and lacking in edu-: cational facilities and conveniences." continues Dr. Wolcott, “and on July M, 1895 a committee of the board of education began to look for a site up- on which a school house could be built. The lot upon which the present James H. Shields hall now stands was select- ed andon August M, 1896, it was pur- chased for the sum ort2,750. -irifn August 21, 1897, by authority of the board, an election was held for the purpose of submitting to the vot- ers of the district the proposition to build a school building upon the lot purchased and to issue bonds to the amount of $30,000 in payment there- for. The voters favored the proposi- tion "Thtre was much rejoicing over the prospect of obtaining the building so greatly needed, but the rejoicing was short lived, as a week later the Circuit court enjoined the board from the pro- ceeding, on the ground that certain formalities necessary to the legality of the election had not been complied with. "The injunction was dissolved in May 1898 and the board proceeded to carry out its plans. In June the bonds were sold, and a number of archi- tects submitted sketches in Competi- tion for the new building. "Again the hopes of friends of the school were dampened by an appeal taken from the circuit to the appel- late court by those opposed to the erection of the high school building. The decision was in favor of the ob- jectors, thereupon the bond sale way cancelled and the sketches were re- turned to the architects. "In April 1899 an appeal to the su- preme court was taken by the board, and in October of the same year they won their decision. "In November the plans of Mr. Jo- seph C. Llewelln for the present James H. Shields building were ap- proved and adopted, and in December the bond issue of $30,000 was sold. "At last the much needed building was started and the work proceeded so rapidly that on September IT, 1900 the school was opened in the new building. It was formally dedicated (Continued on page 4) on March 15, 1901. "In June 1900 the students of Deer.. field published their first year book. "“When the new building was first occupied there was an enrollment of seventy pupils and seven teachers, in- cluding the principal," Dr. Wolcott says. /'At the graduation exercises in June, 1901, which were held in the Presbyterian church, thirteen pupils received diplomas. , First Gym Coach In 1901 "ThstAirtst gymnasium coach was engaged in January 1901. In July of the same year manual training equip- ment was purchased. The chemical laboratory and a lunch room in the basement were equipped.

"In June 1906 the board returned to the subject of the punhase of ad- ditional land and ordered an election to be held. At this election the vote was carried. L "The change in sentiment which this election registered indicated a growing eonfidenee in the school and its administration, and a realization of its future needs. The land wu ae- cured by private purchase. "In December 1906 the school adopted the name of Deerfield town- ship high school," says Dr. Wolcott. Nitht School Begun In 108 "The night school was begun in No- vember 1906 and was kept open for a. period of sixteen weeks. "In 1907 plans were considered for the consolidation of Shields township with Deerfield township high school district. The vote was unanimously in favor of the union. This formed the Deerfield-Shields township high school. "During the year 190T.08 the total number of students WM 220 and the teaching force pumpered seven." -erii fino the lunchroom was moved from the.basement of Shields hall to the attic, which is now used torpyrtie. "The number of students rapidly in- creased and in 1913-14 the enrollment was 334. The school building was erected to accommodate 250 pupils and more room we: urgently needed, with better accommodations for phy- sical training, domestic science 1nd manual training departments. "In June of 1912, a resolution was passed, recommending the erection of five additional buildings: a gymna- sium, a class room building, a manual arts building, an auditorium, and a heating and power plant. Mr. J. C. Llewellyn, the architect was instruct- ed to prepare plans for the group," Dr. Wolcott states. ruth, interesting to note that the If it isn't a Frigidaire, it tsn't '1; a product of General Meters ta 2t),gt',t't'irs, m . .. ., anéiLi-ilistor' Pvmh"'ott3euevaiM--_brmVo_u-o, “a '1"th of mum Malcolm-ooh... 1liiit.r,i.giilgttprtf,, The great financial and en- gineering resources of General Motors are back of Frigidaire.
