        Copied by Leslie Hamilton (962).

        "Ainsworth & Dunn/Pier 70 1889: Seattle's first non-Indian retail fish market was opened right after the Seattle fire in 1889 by Elton E. Ainsworth and Arthur G. Dunn -- the two young men from New York State who started the business in a little shack at the foot of Pike St., with only $200 capital but considerably more ambition. Over the years that ambition took the partners down many different roads but they all ended up along the waterfront. A wholesale fish business (they were the first to send iced salmon and halibut to eastern markets). Salmon canning at Pier 8 (now Pier 59) which the two men themselves built. In 1901, Ainsworth & Dunn built another new wharf at the foot of Broad St. (today it's Pier 70) and a brick warehouse across the street (today's "Old Spagetti Factory"). Pier 14 (as Pier 70 was known then) was alternately a marine terminal, a State Liquor Board warehouse and a U.S. Coast Guard base -- and the warehouse became a soya bean flour mill. The partners are deceased but their descendents still own and operate Pier 70 and the warehouse." Taken from Seattle Business August 9, 1976.

        Firehouse No. 19, built 1920, demolished 1966, at the foot of South Massachusetts Street. Originally designated Firehouse No. 331, this station was built for the historic fireboat Snoqualmie. It replaced the old bunk shack quarters, built about 1909, of Engine Company 31, which manned the Snoqualmie. From 1920 to 1927 it was headquarters for the First Battalion Chief. In 1927 it was decided to move the fireboats to other locations, as marine traffic congestion was continually forcing the Snoqualmie out of its berth for extended periods of time. The Snoqualmie was moved to Lake Union at the foot of Halladay Street and the Duwamish was transferred temporarily to the foot of South Charles Street. After being abandoned during the 1930s, it was reopened in 1946 as No. 19. The bulge running up the side of the firehouse is the bay for the slide pole. Old No. 19 was again abandoned in 1966. -- Jim Stevenson, in "Seattle Firehouses."

        Caption: The Lake Washington Improvement Company undertook the construction of the canal as a private venture in 1883 after the failure to secure federal assistance. Those interested in harbor facilities on Salmon Bay and Lake Union and the adjacent lands -- also those holding lands in Black River Valley where floods would be prevented by the lowering of Lake Washington -- were the principal subscribers. This company opened a log canal from Lake Washington to Lake Union, and Wa Chong contracted to excavate a canal from Lake Union to Salmon Bay. This canal made possible the lumber mills at Ballard.

        Accompanying text "North Queen Anne youngsters of pioneer days well remember the Salmon Bay 'beach shack' shown in the photograph on the opposite page. While the photographer has designated it on the print as 'Salmon Bay Charley's Home', the lone occupant was also known as Shilshoh Charley, and this shack was undoubtedly the final home of the last remaining member of the Shilshoh Indian tribe, which in days long gone had ruled the land thereabouts. Shilshoh Charley, as we prefer to call him, was living at Salmon Bay, with a few remaining members of his tribe, when Dr. Henry A. Smith filed on his donation claim adjoining the bay in 1853. He was even then well past his majority in years. Just when this Charley passed away is not quite clear, at this late date, but he was still alive in the 90's, and living in this shack, as many of the boys of that period still here had visited the quaint home and chatted with Charley. As with most aboriginies his age was largely a matter of conjecture, but unquestionably well beyond the biblical three score and ten. Long before the coming of the white man there was no doubt that Charley's Shilshoh tribe had been a large group of consequence and power. On the statement of Dr. Smith and others he was at the end recognized as the last known member of his tribe. The shack and Charley are both long since gone. Since this photograph was taken the canals were constructed, the locks built, and the entire Salmon Bay shore area as been filled and straightened out and completely changed. Before the locks were built the water in Salmon Bay rose and fell with the tides in the Sound. Charley's shack was built largely from driftpieces of timber brought in by the tides. No one who ever visited this queer driftwood shack and talked with its equally queer occupant will ever forget the experience".

        Copied by Leslie Hamilton (425).

        Caption: Lake Union -- This shows how much farther south the water came in the 1880s than it does today. When the car line was first built to Fremont it crossed the little bay to the left on a trestle; now all of that area is solidly filled in. The Western Mill is shown on the shore. The wooded background is East Queen Anne Hill. (Looking north).

        Description (reverse side of photograph): Southeast Queen Anne hill in 1882. This picture has more than ordinary historical interest. It shows the southeastern slope of Queen Anne Hill above Lake Union in 1882. In the immediate foreground is a thriving community developed at the south end of Lake Union, centering around a lumber mill on the lake shore, built about 1880 by David T. Denny and associates. The house shown in the lower left hand corner was leased by the board of education and used to house what was known as the Lake Union School from 1882 until 1884. At that time the district erected the Denny School and the Lake Union youngsters were transferred to that school, the Lake Union School being discontinued. In the early 80's there were two means of reaching down-town Seattle, one over a rough road following present day Fairview Avenue, reaching Pike at about 8th Avenue, and the second another trail following the tracks of the little steam railroad built to haul coal from Lake Union to the bunkers at the foot of Pike street. The latter route would correspond to today's Westlake Avenue. Before 1882 children of school age at the south end of the lake attended the old North School, on the northeast corner of Third and Pine, a site included in the present Bon Marche block. The youngsters would frequently exchange a batch of old "wiping" rags with the engineer for a free ride on the little coal train to and from school. Previous to the coming of the street cars in later years a small steamer was placed in service on the lake to carry passengers and freight, connecting with the original horsecar line which within a short time was built to terminate at what would be the intersection of Fairview avenue and the lake shore. In the early 80's there was a community of several hundred people living at the south end of Lake Union. There were very few homes on the slopes of Queen Anne Hill at the time this picture was taken. Just across the lake is what was generally known as the "Graham" farm and to the north of the little boathouse on the lake shore was the recognized "official swimming hole" of all the boys of school age in the area. This land was all on "Uncle" Tommy Mercer's original donation claim and Mr Mercer will be long and lovingly remembered for the always kindly and considerate interest he manifested in the neighborhood children of his day. He was never Mr Mercer to the boys and girls of that day; just "Uncle" Tommy, a deserved tribute to an outstanding character of his time. Quite an area of the lake's southern extremity as shown in the picure has been "filled in" over the ensuing years.

        Copied by Leslie Hamilton (S-126).

        Copied from the Seattle Public Library (SPL22752).

        Accompanying text: "Bailey Gatzert School: It all started many, many years ago. There was a school at Sixth Avenue South and Main Street, which was known as the Main Street School. Many children went to this school between the years 1873 and 1921. It was in the year 1921 that the present Bailey Gatzert School building was completed on the site that had been owned by the district and until 1909, occupied by the South School. The South School had been torn down at the time of the Jackson Street regrade in 1909. In telling the story of our school the early story of Seattle should be told because so much of Seattle's first history took place within our school district. Around the place where the Bailey Gatzert School now stands the city of Seattle started to grow. The first settlement was built around Henry Yesler's sawmill. When he built his sawmill he hired men to work for him. They brought their families so they had to build houses. They had to have food, so they had to build stores. After a few years a little village was formed. In 1853 Seattle was not a very large city. The water's edge at the foot of Yesler was covered with trees of Douglas Fir. At times the high tide would reach Washington Street, and at low tide it would even reach First Avenue. It was here on Yesler's wharf that Henry Yesler shipped coal and lumber to San Francisco. In return, San Francisco shipped back hickory shirts, window sashes, axe handles, molasses, grindstones and calico material. The Main Street School was among the very early schools to be used in the little town that was then Seattle. The first utilities for the growing city were located in our district. The earliest water system was begun when Henry Yesler put up a tank to get rain water for use in his sawmill. He made a V-shaped trough that led to his mill. The water ran from there to the end of the dock to furnish water for the ships that landed there. This small tank was located on an alley between Third and Fourth Avenues and Yesler and Jefferson Streets. The first electrical plant in Seattle was built on Jackson Street between First Avenue and Occidental. This took place in 1886. The people gave a great exhibition of the twelve electric lamps that were 'brilliantly burning.' The people were very proud of these first lamps. The first electrical power in Seattle was made from the burning of coal. It was not until thirteen years later than an electric company on Third Avenue and Main Street used the first hydroelectricity. They got their power from a dam built at Snoqualmie Falls. At the time when the first children started attending school at the Main Street School all transportation was by water. There were no real roads, so boats were used. When Seattle was such a small village it had a great area of forest. San Francisco wanted to buy logs from Seattle to use for pilings to build on. It was for this trade that Henry Yesler built the first wharf at the foot of Yesler Way. Later the dock was enlarged until it was nine hundred feet long. Around this time, 1871, the wharf was surrounded by houses, stores and shops, while all of Seattle's inhabitants traveled by foot or by water. It was not long, however, until roads were built and public transportation was started. The first covered hack was used in Seattle in 1881, and in 1884 the hack line was made large enough to have an established line which made three round trips a day out Jackson Street to Lake Washington and back. In 1888 cable cars ran on Yesler Way to Lake Washington and back on Jackson Street. It cost fifty cents for a round trip. The cable car ran on tracks with a cable pulling it from the middle of the tracks. 1900 saw the first automobile in Seattle. It had a two and one-half horse power motor, a stick for a steering wheel, wheels of solid rubber, was built somewhat like a buggy and speeded down Second Avenue at almost twenty miles an hour. So it was that the tiny village grew until it became the great metropolis that it is today. As the city grew many improvements were made. It was one of these improvements that helped make possible the present Bailey Gatzert School, for when it was decided to make the Jackson Street regrade it was then necessary to remove the school then serving the children of the district. It was on a rainy December day in the year 1921 that the principal, Miss Mahon, the teachers, and pupils of the Main Street School moved to their new home, the Bailey Gatzert School, located at Twelfth Avenue South and Weller Street. The site for the school, which had been owned by the Seattle Public School District, was chosen by the School Board, and the building planned by Mr. F. A. Naramore, the architect, with their help. Miss Ada J. Mahon, who is still living in the city, served as the Bailey Gatzert School principal until her retirement at the end of the school term in 1945. Among the teachers who first taught in the new building were Mrs. Agness Eide Daubney and Miss Bernice Welch who are still serving the children of this school. In 1929 the enrollment of the school had increased so much that it was necessary to build an addition to the school in the form of a new wing of eight rooms. These new rooms included a teachers room, a gymnasium, a music room, a science room, an art room, a library room and two new class rooms. On November eighth, at an 'Open House' held in the school, the formal dedication of the Bailey Gatzert School took place. But perhaps you are wondering why this school was named 'Bailey Gatzert'? Mr. Nathan Eckstein was largely responsible for giving the name to the school. Mr. Eckstein was a member of the School Board at the time, and Bailey Gatzert was a relative of Mrs. Eckstein. There are many reasons why this school may be proud to have been named for Mr. Gatzert. He was once the Mayor of Seattle. He was a member of City Counsil. He established banks. He helped solve the transportation problem of Seattle. He owned and was a partner in many business organizations in the city. He also had the honor of entertaining President Hayes in his home. President Hayes was the first United States President to cross the Rocky Mountains. An old stern-wheeler was named in Mr. Gatzert's honor. After Mr. Gatzert's death Mrs. Gatzert established a Memorial Kindergarten in his honor. When she died, the Gatzert money was used to establish the Bailey and Babette Gatzert Child Welfare Foundation. It was very fitting that the Bailey Gatzert School should be named to honor a civic leader like Mr. Gatzert who took so much interest in children and the community. After the Chinese and Japanese Americans settled in the district most of the children attending the Bailey Gatzert School were of Oriental descent. Just before the second World War, however, the Yesler Housing Project was begun, and so it is that today children of all races attend the school. We think it is a fine opportunity to learn to understand each other. The boys and girls of the Bailey Gatzert School are very proud of our school. We have learned to appreciate what a fine building we have. We know that it is very valuable as measured by money because the ground on which it is situated is valued at $26,670.00; the building at $221,098.00; and the equipment at $16,287.00, which makes a total of $264,056.00. However, no amount of money could measure its worth to us for the learning we do in the Bailey Gatzert School under our Principal, Mr. T. Allasina. The present enrollment at the Bailey Gatzert School in 808, with the following nationalities represented: Chinese, 78; Negro, 162; Filipinos, 39; Japanese, 220; all others, 309".

        Copied by Leslie Hamilton (S-131).

        Accompanying text: "One of the first hills of Seattle to be settled was Beacon Hill that rises to an elevation of 345 feet. Edward Hanford and John Holgate arrived on Beacon Hill (not then named) in 1853. These two men staked out claims in the heavily timbered hill and built log cabins. They then proceeded to log their land. In 1856 rumor came concerning the Indian uprisings. The Hanfords and the Holgates deserted their homes and joined others in the 'Blockhouse.' January 26, 1856 the Indians attacked. Milton Holgate, age 15, brother of John, was killed by an Indian. Later, during the same night, a reflection in the sky showed that their cabins were being burned. After the uprising, the few families moved from the hill and the settlement was set back for some time. In 1891 an electric car system was set up and a car began running over a wooden trestle across the valley between Jackson Street and the present site of the Marine Hospital. The Hill began to become a place of homes. Mr. M. H. Young, one of the car company owners, was so deeply impressed with the hill that he called it Beacon Hill in honor of Beacon Hill in Boston, his former home. Prior to this time, about 1855, a road between Seattle and the south district was routed so as to traverse Beacon Hill going down through Ban Asselt to the banks of the Duwamish. Later a road was established as road number two and seems to have become the 'Military Road' that extended into Rainier Valley and on over the mountains to Eastern Washington. This road was very steep and extremely muddy much of the time. In 1895 the project of cutting a canal through the hill to Lake Washington was begun. The earth was used to fill the mud flats. After a great deal of work had been done and several hundred acres of the flats filled, the project was given up. Later the brow of the hill, near the present site of the Marine Hospital, was cut down and the earth sluiced into the tide lands. The fill extended from Plummer Street south to Spokane Street. Highways of today to the south pass over this fill. During the early period one of the "Powder Houses" belonging to the city was at the foot of the hill near Argo Station. In the early days smallpox epidemics seemed quite common and a pest house was built on Beacon Hill. Another unusual institution located on Beacon Hill was a 'City Stockade' or "Lazy Husbands Ranch' where lazy and unreliable husbands could be interned. The men were put to work on roads or other city projects and the money they earned was given to their families. Much criticism was caused and the stockade was closed. In 1892 when Mr. Frank J. Barnard was Superintendent and the Misters W. J. Colkett, J. B. Macdougall, T. W. Prosch, D.A. Spencer and A. P. Burwell were members of the Board of Directors, the present site of Beacon Hill School was purchased at a cost of $9,000. This site is known as Bloc 8, Bayside addition, and located between Sixteenth and Seventeenth avenues extending from Bayview Street on the north to Lander on the south, and area slightly more than three acres. The first Beacon Hill School was built in 1899 and is still used as an annex to the main building which was completed in 1904. The principal, J. G. Lawrence, also taught the seventh and eighth grades. Pearl D. Bacon taught."

        Accompanying text: "The 'Belltown'- North Ends' First City School Building: Herewith is pictured the old Belltown School, located on the northwest corner of the Third and Vine Streets, the first school structure erected north of Pine street by the board of education. This Belltown School continued to serve the district from 1876, when it was built, until 1884, when the new Denny School was opened. This school was made necessary because of the substantial industrial development at Belltown in the 70's and lasting through the 80's. These industries attracted many families with children, who found it too far and difficult to tramp and from the nearest school, the North School, at Third and Pine. The site for the Belltown School was bought June 23, 1876, for $220,, from W. N. Bell. The school was erected under contract by M. Keezer for $2,675 and opened for its first classes on Sept. 24, 1876, with Mrs Helen Pearce as the first teacher. With the erection and opening of the Denny School at Fifth and Battery in 1884 the board disposed of the Belltown property. J. Hilton bought the lots and building May 13, 1884 for $2,675. The district continued to used the old building until the school term ended in June. The old school structure was later remodeled and used for many years as a residence. The family of the late John J. Knoff, pioneer printer, occupied it as a home for years. In time the structure was again remodeled and used until comparatively recent years as an apartment and rooming house, know as 'Eleanor Rooms.' Some time since the property was purchased by Metropolitan Press Printing Company, who razed the old school structure and erected a modern printing plant on the site."

        Accompanying text: "Belltown School: The Belltown School was built on two lots at Third and Vine Streets, purchased in 1876 from Mr. Bell for $220. The school, a two room, one story building, was completed in September for the same year at a cost of $2,642. Belltown was a little suburban community of about twenty or twenty-five homes, located to the north of the main part of Seattle and near the waterfront. For a number of years the Indians camped in large numbers along the beach below Belltown. There is little other information about this school in the records. It was closed in 1884 when the Denny School was constructed on a neighboring site."

        Accompanying text: "Cascade School: On a block of land, bounded on the north by Harrison Street, on the south by Thomas Street, on the west by Yale Avenue and on the east by Pontius Avenue, stands today (1950) a large two story brick building-- the Cascade School. This piece of ground was part of a large tract of land platted by the Pontius family in the early days of Seattle. The school was built in three units. The first of these, the south wing consisting of six rooms, was completed in 1893 and opened for classes on January 6, 1894 with an enrollment of two hundred. The district, being of easy access to the center of the town, grew rapidly and four years later another unit of ten rooms was added. When the north wing was built in 1904, the building boasted twenty-four rooms but was still inadequate to accommodate the ever increasing number of children who wished to enter. Small rooms, not originally intended as class rooms, were pressed into service and portable buildings were placed upon the grounds. In 1908 the school was using every available inch of space and had a teaching staff of twenty-six. This crowded condition continued for many years until the encroachment of industry and the movement of families to suburban homes caused the enrollment to dwindle. Rooms became vacant and pupils in the high grades were sent to adjacent schools. The once crowded school was finally closed in 1949 with but seven rooms in use. In the parking strip surrounding the grounds and here and there upon the playfield stand shade trees of various kinds. It became a custom in the very early days of the school and carried on down through the years to plant on Arbor Day a tree dedicated to some person of note or during the war years, to some pupil who had given his life for his country. One of these trees- a beautiful plane tree- the pride and joy of the pupils and teachers was just recently cut down because of damage incurred in a severe windstorm. The pupils who have attended the Cascade School are legion, the teachers are many but the principals number only seven. Mrs. Frances E. Nickels, a very prominent and popular teacher for many years in the Seattle School System, was selected as Cascade's first principal. On that day in January 1894 when she assumed her duties at Cascade there were 700 pupils enrolled in all of the Seattle schools with a teaching staff of 140. Mrs. Nickels was followed by Mr. P. H. Stafford who served by a short time before becoming principal of the Pacific School. Mr. Charles Fagan then came in 1900 from the Central School to take charge of Cascade. Mr. Fagan, one of the city's outstanding educators- a man of sterling character, a keen sense of humor and an understanding of children, beloved by pupils and associates- led the school skillfully and successfully through some thirty-three years- years of peace and years of war, years of plenty and years of want but always years of progress; ever searching for and adopting that which was good in the new, yet cherishing and holding to that which was good in the old. On November 12, 1932, at the age of seventy-three Mr. Fagan's passing ended over forty years of faithful and fruitful work in the educational world. The regard and esteem felt for him by a host of pupils and co-workers is well expressed in the following tribute written by Mrs. David Bowen (Nettie Stevenson Bowen). 'Tread softly through the open door, Be quiet on the stair; His gentle presence lingers yet, There is no vacant chair. In the master's room we see his form, The smile upon his face, And clasp again his loving hand Of the dear old man of grace. We watch once more the welcoming, In clear out eyes of blue, And feel the blessing, heaven sent, He had for me and you. His office is a holy place, That bring the reverent tears; The memories it holds will last, Through all the coming years. May we, dear Father, fill our lives, With Deeds like his and prayer, That passing through the open door, We leave no vacant char.' Cascade School was again without a leader and Miss Maxine Kelly was transferred from the Interbay School to fill the vacancy. Miss Kelly reported for duty on the morning of November 28, 1932. Pupils and teachers readily fell in step with their new leader and for seven and one half years pressed forward together. The unrest, the unemployment, dissatisfaction and fear prevailing during this period were reflected in the lives of the boys and girls. Miss Kelly became not only a principal of the school but counselor and friend of the many parents who brought their problems to her office. One of the first nursery schools a W. P. A. project to care for small children of working parents-- found a home in one of the Cascade portables. It was during Miss Kelly's regime that a battle for a district playfield which had waged for many years was finally won. Earnest pleading and hard work on the part of the P. T. A. and teaching corps resulted in a piece of land on the corner of Pontius Avenue and Harrison Street being purchased and equipped. Mr. Charles A. Budde, following Miss Kelly's retirement in June 1940, served as principal through the difficult and trying war years from 1940-1945. Upon his retirement Mr. Wieber Wynstra carried on at the Cascade. In the year 1947 the enrollement had decreased until it was so small that it no longer required the full time of a principal so Mr. Charles F. McKeehan was assigned to the principalship of both Lowell and Cascade. This position was held by him until the Cascade School was closed. The Cascade with its large airy rooms and spacious corridors was a well constructed building as is attested by its more than half a century of wear and tear of thousands of tramping feet. On the 13th of April, 1949, during the spring vacation the sever earthquake which shook Seattle took its toll of the old building. From all outward appearance it is the same old Cascade but damages on the inside made it no longer safe for use. In time it will doubtless be razed and the property turned to business purposes but the Cascade ideals of courtesy, honesty, earnest endeavor, patriotism and good-will toward fellow men will live on in the lives of men and women who were once the boys and girls of 'Old Cascade'".

        Accompanying text: "Seattle's first school building- The Old Central: The old wooden Central, the first Central School, shown in the accompanying photograph, was Seattle's first publicly owned school. It was built and occupied in 1870, and was located on four lots fronting the east side of Third Avenue, between Madison and Spring Streets. While it appears as a two-story structure, it really comprised two full sized rooms and an attic later utilized as a class room. The four lots were bought from C.C. Terry for $500. The building was erected by Shorey & Russell on their contract bid of $2,400. Later the allowance of certain 'extras' increased the total cost. When the new Central at Seventh and Madison was built and opened for use on May 7, 1883, the old Third Avenue site and building were sold to M.V.B. Stacy for $30,000. The old school building was disposed of to parties who moved it to the northeast corner of Front (First Avenue) and Virginia Street, where it was remodeled and used for years as the 'Central Rooms.' The old school stood until it was razed in June of 1911 to make way for building improvements. The first teachers at the original Central were Elizabeth Peebles (Mrs. Agnus Mackintosh); Miss L.W. Ordway and Mrs. C.M. Sanderson. It may be explained that previous to 1870 public school classes were held either in rented quarters or in locations whose use was donated by the owners".

        Accompanying text: "'Central School: Search the world over and a more beautiful location for a school-house could not be found. Situated about 250 feet above the bay, it commands an unobstructed view of town and harbor. From the windows of the building the pupil can look down upon the business portion of the city and get an idea of the busy life of which he is soon to become a part; raising the eye, a grand view of forest, mountain, lake and bay fills the soul with noble thoughts and lofty aspirations. The block is 240 feet by 256 feet, affording ample room for building, lawn and playgrounds.' This paragraph, appearing in the First Annual Report of the Public Schools of Seattle in 1885, describes the location of the Central School. The first school to be held in Seattle was taught by Mrs. Catherine Blaine in the fall of 1854 at her own home and later in the Methodist Church. This was not a public school as we think of them now because it was supported by tuition and private subscription but until 1870 it was the only type of public school maintained. The first building constructed by the Seattle School District was the Central School at Third and Madison, built in 1870. It was a two story, two room affair, planned for 120 pupils. The District employed only one teacher at first, Miss Lizzie Ordway, and as 125 pupils reported for school on the very first day many of the younger children had to be sent home. A little later a second teacher was employed and then a small room was finished off in the attic to make room for a third class. Edmond Meany and John Condon, both of whom achieved distinction as professors at the University of Washington, attended classes in this attic room. As school attendance grew the District purchased the present site of the Central School at Sixth Avenue and Madison and in 1877 built the Sixth Street School. This was a two room building similar in every way to the first Central School. It was occupied for the first time in September, in 1878, but used only until 1883 and the following year the building was sold and moved away. At the same time the first Central School was closed and the property sold. It is interesting to note that the site of the first Central School which had cost the district $500 was sold by them only sixteen years later for $30,000. The new Central School was completed and occupied in 1883. Although it was a wooden building it was large and attractive and the first school building to be built in Seattle of more than two rooms. This building was large enough to replace the old Central School, the Sixth Street School, and the North School at Third and Pine. Less than five years later it caught fire, supposedly from a defective furnace, and burned to the ground. Immediate steps were taken to provide a new Central School and in 1889, an even larger and more commodious building of brick construction was completed on this site. Until Broadway High School was completed in 1902, the Central School provided for high school as well as elementary pupils. During the years just preceding the opening of Broadway High School the Central School was almost a straight high school with only three classes of upper grade pupils enrolled. On the Central School grounds was also built a one-story brick structure which for many years housed the school administrative offices. After they were transferred to another building this space was used as headquarters for the Public School Guidance Department and later for the Junior Red Cross Clinic which still occupies the building at this time. As the city grew and office buildings replaced homes the enrollment at Central dwindled until in June, 1938, it was finally closed as an elementary school. During the next ten years Central operated as part of Edison Technical School but in the spring of 1948 an earthquake so weakened the brick walls of the old building that it had to be abandoned. At the present time the Central Nursery School is still in operation, using temporary housing constructed during the last war. The old office building on the Central School grounds is also being used by the Junior Red Cross. The main building still stands but will soon be removed for make way for other city improvements."

        Accompanying text: "F.H. Coe School: Mr. Thomas Mercer who settled on a donation claim adjoining the David T. Denny's was one of the earliest known property on Queen Anne hill. Since there was no roads and few foot trails, Mr. Mercer brought in a team of horses and a wagon to enable him to slash the first road between the Mercer claim and central Seattle which was then located on old Mill Street, now known as Yesler Way. Until this road was made, the only access they had to town was by trail or canoe. In 1891 a Mrs. Jennie Dow arrived with her husband and family on Queen Anne Hill; the following year a G.C. Carlson family arrived and started a dairy farm which was located in what is now approximately the 1900 block on Tenth Avenue West. Their cattle roamed from 15th Avenue West to Highland Drive, then unnamed and heavily wooded. Queen Anne Hill was entirely covered with dense growth and forest, early photographs which were taken in 1897 and 1898 show that the trees almost obstructed the view of Puget Sound. Through this wooded section one main trail wound up to the top of the hill, where our counterbalance now is, continuing to the present site of Mount Pleasant Cemetery. In 1897 new settlers in this district were: the Killians who settled at 2106 9th Ave. W., then a farm; the Gages; a Thomas family at 1928 8th Ave. W.; and E.C. Byers. Recent interviews with early settlers, Mrs. Dora Killian, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Draper, and Mr. Bellis revealed most of this information for an early history of the F. H. Coe School background. Mr. Jim Bushnell, who was one of these early settlers, was an assessor for many years- he married Miss Kate Ward, the first white child born in Seattle. Mr. Bushnell now resides at 501 W. Highland Dr. Early photographs of Queen Anne Hill taken in 1898 show only 8 or 10 houses with small clearings. These pioneers purchased supplies and groceries at the nearest general store located at the foot of the hill. and operated by Mr. E.C. Damon. Every two weeks, supplies previously ordered were delivered by horse and two-wheel cart, and by 1902 deliveries were increased to twice a week. Due to the lack of roads, mail was also delivered with horse and two-wheel cart to a focal point at Eight West and West McGraw Street. Here residents came to pick up the mail, walking along trails which were ankle-deep in dust and bordered with masses of 'White Hardhack' or 'Sea foam' flowers. On these walks the children whiled away time picking wild blackberries, which grew abundantly, for jams and jellies to be used for after-school snacks. By 1902 the streets were named and numbered and two streets were planked for wagon traffic. Water mains and sewers were being installed. The Washington Lumber and Shingle Company platted to Tenth Avenue West the entire district for residences in that year. Then four new homes were built and a real estate boom began. People came in rapidly; many bought, sold, and moved on after selling fora profit, while others settled permanently. Many settlers did not become well acquainted with their neighbors because they moved in and out so rapidly. With the boom the population grew, and increasing numbers of children complicated the school problem. At that time (1902) pupils were sent over trails or 'short-cuts' to the West Queen Anne School or the Denny School. In 1905 a narrow gauge railway and cable-car brought the residents to the top of the hill to a turnstile which was located approximately where Coe School now stands.. Sixth Avenue West was a wagon trail to McGraw Street. The southeast portion of Queen Anne Hill had more settlers while the Coe district was more timbered and less populated. In 1906 when Mr. and Mrs. Bellis came to the district only two houses had been built on Fourth Avenue West. Mr. DeBruler opened a grocery store at Sixth Avenue West and Crockett Street, and Mr. George Draper opened the first drug store. The first two churches were the Queen Anne Baptist on Sixteenth West and Howe Street, and the Queen Anne Methodist Church at First North and Republican Street. Dr. Franz H. Coe became a member of the Seattle School Board in 1901 and served for three years. He was a prominent and respected physician, and later the Franz H. Coe School was named for him. Mrs. Coe, his wife, showed considerable interest in school and community activities. Due to the crowded conditions in the West Queen Anne and Denny Schools some relief had to be given, and it was this apparent need which prompted the School Board to establish other classes (first and second grades) at the East Queen Anne Annex on Fourth Avenue North, between Newton and Crockett Streets, and extend further classes in the Coe District. So in 1906 two portables were erected on the present site, then unnamed. A Miss Gertrude I. Streeter taught the third grade, and Miss Elizabeth Quinn the second grade. Plans were then drawn up and construction commenced in 1906 on the large new building. In 1907 the building was completed, consisting of eight rooms and seating capacity of 384, at a total cost of $37,627. It was then named the Frantz H. Coe School in honor of Dr. F.H. Coe and opened for use in September 1907 with five teachers. The were: Miss Thart, principal and eight grade teacher; Miss Hoffman, who came from the middle west to accept this particular position; Miss May Baptie, now Mrs. Gleason of Hunts Point; Miss Lou Warren; and Miss Henrietta Isenbies. Enrollment increased almost immediately and soon two other teachers were added; one of them was Miss Nina Buchanan who later became County Superintendent of Schools. In June 1908, the daily average attendance was 356 pupils, and average of 39 pupils per teacher. The cost of books that year was $1024 and supplies $480. The first self-discipline plan was inaugurated in 1910 by Mill Lulie Nettleton and it was reported to have been highly successful. A pupil, Miss Isabel Draper, was the first president of that student organization. Miss Nettleton is also remembered as having a long shelf full of beautiful objects of art in front of her classroom. One of our most highly esteemed teachers, Miss Elizabeth McDougal, joined the Coe staff in 1910 as a second grade teacher, where she remained until her retirement in June 1948. At the end of the school year June 1919, there were 575 pupils enrolled at the F.H. Coe School and 18 teachers. Each one had a teaching load of over 35 pupils per room. Now another wing was added to the north side of the present building, consisting of 8 rooms. The portables were removed and the new wing occupied. Miss Elizabeth Tharp, first principal of the Coe School, retired in 1938 and has since made her home in Los Angeles. At that time, Miss Clara E. McKenzie came to Coe as a principal. When Miss McKenzie retired in 1948, she was followed by Mr. Wesley Cole, the present principal. Late improvements to Coe School include fencing, landscaping and black-topped playgrounds."

        Accompanying text: "Denny School: In the selection of a site for the Denny Building, the following points were considered: distance from Central Building; central position between Lake Union and the bay and a commanding view. Accordingly block 's', bounded on the north by Wall Street, on the east by Sixth, on the south by Battery, and on the west by Fifth, was selected. From the east entrance of the building, a fine view of Lake Union is obtained; the west entrance commands a view of the bay and Alki Point. 'In architectural designs and beautiful finish, the Denny Building is not surpassed by any school house on the Pacific Coast. Judge Burke was appointed a committee of one to give special attention to its construction. Nothing that can add to the health and comfort of both teachers and pupils, has been left out.' These are the words used in the First Annual Report of the Superintendent which describes the building of Denny School in 1884 at a total cost of $45,811.55. For many years Denny School was one of the principal elementary schools of Seattle. The first regrade project on Denny Hill in 1906 made it necessary to remove one wing of the building but the remainder of the building continued in active use until plans were completed for the complete removal of the hill twenty-three years later. It is interesting to note that the excavations which made necessary the removal of the building also destroyed the view which was one of the principal reasons for the selection of the site. The Post-Intelligencer Building now stands approximately where the Denny School was located but many feet below the old building, and the land which had cost the District $8,200 was sold for $150,000. The cupola of the old Denny School still stands in Denny Park, placed there as a result of the efforts of loyal alumni."

        Accompanying text: "Georgetown School: Located at 730 S. Homer St., the Georgetown School building was constructed in the early 1900's. It served high-school students until 1927, when Cleveland High was completed; after that Georgetown became an elementary school, but it had to be closed in 1971 when encroaching industries left very few residents in the neighborhood. In 1972, Georgetown once more housed high-school students when Project Interchange, an alternative school, moved into the building. Students brightened the old school by doing much painting and making some physical changes to the interior. Under supervision of Director David Rinkel, the students also made improvements and given many hours of service at the former school annex that stands behind Georgetown School and is now a community center."

        Accompanying text: "Georgetown School: A long time ago Jacob Maple and his son, Eli, along with Luther Collins, came up the Duwamish river by boat. They were looking for some good pasture land and this seemed to be it. They settled in June 1851 on the site where the Boeing Airport Administration Building is now located. Each man had a 640 acre claim. Luther Collins' claim is now the car barn and power plant site and Maple's claim is now the center of Georgetown. After staking their claims the men went down the river to Pigeon Point where Youngstown Steel now is. Henry Van Asselt came back with the party. In the 1880's Julius Horton and his family arrived form Illinois. Mr. Horton bought 160 acres from Luther Collins. This land included the area bounded by East Marginal Way, Vale Street, Twelfth Avenue, and Corson Avenue. Transportation in the period was a problem. Two stages a day with a four-horse team made the trip to Seattle. This trip cost 25 cents. When the street cars came into being, in 1882, they were open coaches which ran on trestles over the tide-water flats. They ran from Dearborn Street to Charleston Street. The first street car was driven by Mr. Saunders. The Hortons and Mrs. W.A. Carle, who was a Horton, were the first to ride on it. In 1886 Julius Horton sold some of his land to Ed Sweeney and John Claussen for $50 an acre to build the Georgetown, or Rainier, Brewery. The Brewery was opened in 1891. It started as a small frame building with addition after addition being constructed. Sixteen men were employed. The stockyards were in back of the Brewery. Water was supplied from a spring on the side of the hill. Quite an attraction was the fountain on the lawn next to the office building. In the early days youngsters used to have fun catching frogs in the creeks up the hill behind the Brewery. There are still some underground springs in the knoll of the hill. In 1890, Julius Horton plotted two square miles of territory and changed the name of the settlement from 'Duwamish' to 'Georgetown' in honor of his son, George, who that year had begun the practice of medicine in Seattle. 'Duwamish,' the first name of the town, mean 'many-colored river'- duwam meaning many colors in Indian, and ish meaning river- because the Green, the Black and the White rivers all flowed into one. According to the Seattle Times for January 3, 1926, the possibilities of this community were recognized by a far-sighted men, who foresaw the day when the mud-flats of the district would be drained and filled in; when the crooked Duwamish Riber would be straightened and deepened into a commercial waterway; when paved roads would make all parts of the district accessible; and when busy factories would spring up beside the trans-continental railroad tracks that passed through the district on their way into the city. As early as 1898 the community had need of a school. The first classes were held in an old store building owned by Mrs. Cross. This building stood where the Union Oil Station now is located, on the east side of Airport Way near Lucile Street. As the population grew rapidly, the school soon outgrew the store building and moved to Higgins Hall near the intersection of Corson Avenue and Airport Way. This building was torn down years ago. In a very short while this space, too, was inadequate and only grades one through three could be accommodated here. Children above grade three attended either Van Asselt or South Seattle. South Seattle at this time was considered more of a town than Georgetown. At least South Seattle had a post office. Bertoldi's Hall was used as a schoolhouse for a few months during the early days, too. This building is still in use. It is on Airport Way near Lucile Street. The first church was the Van Asselt Methodist Church. Reverend Bagley was the minister and Mrs. W.A. Carle played the organ. The first Sunday school was held in Ward's Hall. One of the first newspapers was the Duwamish Valley News, started by Mr. Horton. There were several stores at this early date: C.C. Conner, Mathews, Dashley, and Small. Mathews Grocery Store sold everything and had the post office. Flour was 45 cents a sack, potatoes were 10 cents a hundred pounds, and eggs were 5 cents a dozen. Mr. Small was the only man who used to deliver goods to the settlers along Lake Washington. The first railroad ran through Georgetown and South Seattle in 1882. The Van Asselt School, with nine pupils and John Wesley Maple as their teacher, was the first school in the county. An Indian Cemetery used to be where the county hospital is today. To the rear of the cemetery was MoSawley's Wharf where logs floated down the Duwamish River. Boys used to swim off these logs and go fishing there. A planked road, running parallel with the street car and railroad tracks, was the main thoroughfare for horse and buggy traffic. It was called the Grant Street Bridge. The Duwamish River from the Sound up past Georgetown was lined with fishermen's huts. A big boat was used to go to pick up the fish every day. Later all of this was altered when the course of the river was changed and the railroads built trestles. By 1903 the community boasted many growing industries (mostly breweries, brick yards, and lumber mills), three volunteer fire departments, and a three acre park containing a dancing stand, a band stand, a restaurant, and a bowling alley. On January 18, 1904, Georgetown was made an incorporated town. It somehow managed to retain its identity during the next few years where most of the other districts were being annexed to Seattle. With so much growing activity, the residents of Georgetown decided to build a school. It was in 1900 that the northeast part of what is now our playfield was designated as the site for the structure. One half of our present portable was built at this time. It faced Corson Avenue. It was expected that this would provide ample school housing for some time to come, but the district grew so rapidly that the portable had to be doubled almost immediately. The building, named the Mueller School for one of Georgetown's outstanding citizens, contained four rooms. Pupils in the first five grades were taught here. Bertoldi's Hall housed the sixth, seventh and eight grades. After some discussion, it was decided to send all the students above the fifth grade to the Seattle School. Equipment and activities were considerably different that day. No materials were furnished by the school district. Wrapping paper was frequently used for writing tablets, and children were delighted when the store keeper would wrap their bundles in attractive paper. Painting lessons were few and regarded as something of a special treat. Shortly after the first building was doubled and present building erected. This, too, faced Corson Avenue and was named for the community it was to serve- Georgetown. Until the building was completed, high school classes were held temporarily in the old Presbyterian Church. This new building was designed to care for all the students who had been attending School elsewhere. For the first time all grades through high school were under one roof. Howerver, after the class of 1905 graduated only the elementary grades were enrolled. Up to 1910 students could attend any high school they preferred by later high schools were assigned. The golden key that was to open the door to the next phase of the South end's development was forged in 1909 (while Georgetown was sill outside the city limits) when the state legislature passed the commercial water-way act permitting the organization of the district for the development of water-ways. The passage of this act came one year after the organization of the South End Industrial Association, in which the business and industrial heads of the district banded themselves together to bring about its further extension. By 1910 all the surrounding territory was within the Seattle city limits and in April of that year Georgetown voted for annexation. In the old days Georgetown was the sport center for the city. The race track used to be at the north end of today's Boeing Field. After it was closed the Meadows track was opened in the 9400 block on Airport Way where we find the sanitarium of that name today. Balloon ascensions at the race track on Sundays were an exciting feature with the parachutist called 'baby doll' resplendent in pink tights! (The grandstand stile of the original race track is today the location of the Langenegger residence. Bruce Langenegger is a member of the class that is writing this history.) In 1910 the Duwamish Waterway Commission was formed. The first step in converting the river into a highway for deep water vessels was the straightening of the channel and dredging it to a depth sufficient to accommodate ships of large draft. The cost of this work was borne principally by the property owners, many of whom benefited in return by having their land built up with materials taken from the river bottom. The old channel also was filled in, making new sites of industries. The work was done by a dredge purchased by the commission, the first contract calling for the moving of seven million yards of dirt. Due to the manner in which the work was managed by the commission, it proved to be one of the cheapest dredging jobs on record in this region. Thirteen miles of river, from its mouth southward across the valley, was shortened to four and one-half miles by taking the numerous twists out of the channel. The new channel was dredge to a depth of twenty feet at mean low water with a width of 150 feet at the head. Three large turning bases also were dredged so that ships coming up the waterway might be swung around for the trip back down stream. In 1917 a petition for future improvement was approved and put into operation in 1920. This improvement included deepening the channel to thirty feet at mean low tide. Meanwhile, an appropriation of $80,000 for maintenance of the East and West Waterways as far as Spokane Street had been made by Congress and the two channels were taken over by the government in 1919. In 1920 a new survey was ordered by the government. This resulted in the authorization of an appropriation in 1925 of $365,000 to enlarge the channel from Spokane Street to First Avenue South of the First Avenue Bridge, and for enlarging the channel from Eight Avenue and Fourteenth Avenue South to a depth of fifteen feet. From First to Eight Avenue already had been dredged to a depth of twenty feet, so no further improvements was contemplated there. When Georgetown was annexed to Seattle in 1910, Mr. Dollinger was principal of the school. Mr. Frank D. McIlravy became principal in 1913. At this time there were eight grades in the building. There was no auditorium because this space was used for classrooms. Assemblies were held in the lower hall. When the little children became too tired, they were allowed to sit on the floor. Cooking and sewing were taught in the annex. There was no cafeteria. The children brought their lunches from home..."

      • Description: Hay School, view of the front

        Copied by Leslie Hamilton (S-68).

        Accompanying text: "John Hay School: In 1890 Queen Anne Hill was a forest. The trees were very large and transportation was difficult. There were no paved streets as we know them today. Prospect Street, between First and Second Avenues West, was a typical marsh. At first Fourth Avenue North was just a small trail down the hill. There was only woods from Lynn Street down to Fremont Avenue, and Queen Anne Boulevard was just a blind street. The junction at Nob Hill Avenue and Crockett Street used to be a part of the ravine, while McGraw Street was all woods. Mr. Mercer and his horses made only a foot trail across Queen Anne Hill. When the Indians attacked, the government made a very good road out of Mr. Mercer's trail. That made Queen Anne Avenue the first good road. At first, the intersection at Queen Anne Avenue and Boston Street was a bridge. Queen Anne Hill was so named because there was a small group of houses of the Queen Anne architecture on the south side of the hill. This district was known to those who lived in it as Queen Anne Town. Queen Anne Avenue was first named Temperance Street by David T. Denny who hated intoxicating liquors. In 1895 the name was changed to Queen Anne Avenue because it crossed Queen Anne Hill. Taylor Avenue took its name from a church which is still standing at Taylor Avenue and Thomas Street. Galer Street got it’s from Jacob Galer who homesteaded near there. Fifth Avenue North was a merger of earlier streets, Bowman Avenue and Willow Street. Garfield, Boston, and Lynn Streets were named by I.N. Bigelow for towns back in Massachusetts in which he had resided. Smith Street was named for Dr. Henry A. Smith, the first settler on a cove north of Seattle. Dexter Avenue was named by David T. Denny for Dexter Horton, an early Seattle banker. A street car ran up and down the 'counter balance' but it was so unreliable that children going to and from school did not use it. They preferred to walk. West Queen Anne was the first street car. Then, after John Hay School was built, the East and North Queen Anne routes were put in. The street car tracks were removed when the buses were put to use later. Before John Hay School was built, Boston and Crockett Streets were part of the ravine. They were filled in after the school was built. About 1916, Taylor Avenue was planked. The old water tower used to be an observation point for Queen Anne Hill. It was closed during World War II and has not been opened since. When the McGraw Street Bridge was first built it was made only of wood. Because of the numerous hazards, it was later built of concrete. The bridge spans the gully. There are still some remnants of the old wooden bridge under the west side of the newer concrete McGraw Street Bridge. Among the first leaders in city affairs were the David T. Dennys, George Kinnears, Otto Rabels, Clarence B. Bagleys, John Braces, George Furrys, J.F. Pikes, and two well-known judges and their families, Judge Arthur E. Griffin and Judge Jenner, all of whom were at that time residents of Queen Anne Hill. Mrs. Furry was secretary of the first John Hay P.T.A., while Mrs. Spangler was president. David T. Denny was one of the most influential figures in early city affairs. There are two of Mr. Denny's great-great-grandchildren now attending John Hay. Another Queen Anne resident, outstanding in Seattle history, was George Kinnear I, who presented to the city of Seattle, as a gift, a large tract of land on Queen Anne Hill overlooking the Sound. Records show that several acres were presented, first on October 24, 1887, and again on March 9, 1900. It was the second park acquired by the city and was named Kinnear Park. It is today considered one of the most scenic of Seattle's parks. Mr. Kinnear died in 1912. One of his grandsons, George Kinnear, is now living in his old home at 819 Queen Anne Ave. near Valley Street. In those early days Clarence B. Bagley built a fabulously expensive house at Second Avenue North and Valley Street. The old residence was believed to have had twenty-five to thirty rooms. During the last few years of its existence no one lived in it except the caretaker. Two descendants of that pioneer family now reside in the Lansdown Apartments at 1902 Bigelow Ave. N. One of the most outstanding buildings on Queen Anne Hill is the Children's Orthopedic Hospital. The Orthopedic Hospital, was founded by Mrs. J.N. Clise and twenty-three friends in January 1907, was a mere 5-room cottage with seven beds on the southwest corner of the present site. In 1908 a Fresh Air Cottage was built with twelve beds and a staff of twelve doctors giving free services. Even today the hospital gives 75 percent free service. There were thirteen cases and seven operations the first year. In the year of 1910 the cornerstone of the main building was laid. On September 8, 1911 the main building, with no laundry service or elevators, was opened to the public. The main entrance is at 100 Crockett St. There is now also the Orthopedic Hospital School which includes also the children of the Annex. Four teachers are employed by the Seattle School Board and are under the supervision of the principal of the John Hay School. The block bounded by Bigelow and Fourth Avenues North, and Crockett and Newton Streets, was chosen for the John Hay School site. This was purchased in 1903 at a cost of $4,700. The School Board was responsible for the choosing of the school site. The first structure was a portable called the East Queen Anne Annex to the West Queen Anne School. Miss Thomas, the only teacher at that time, taught the first and second grades. The contract of $23,756 for the original 8-room building was awarded to Peter P. Gjarde in 1905. Mr. Bain was the architect. Mr. Reuben Jones, at that time secretary of the Seattle School Board, suggested the new school be named after the great statesman, John Hay, who had recently died. After the school had been named for the statesman, Reuben Jones suggested that the school write a letter to his widow to tell her of the name of the school for her husband. In return they were sent a portrait of John Hay Which was placed in the front hall. That same portrait is now in the school office. In the year 1905-1906, when John Hay's doors first opened, the principal was Miss Lydia E. Lovering who also taught the seventh grade. Miss Anna Pelton taught the first grade; Miss Rushton, the second; Miss Lulie Nettleton, third; Miss Madge Raymond, fourth; Miss Kruger, fifth; and Miss Engle, sixth. Miss Nettleton, Miss Pelton, and Miss Lovering who later became Mrs. Forsythe, have retired in recent years from active teaching and are now living in Seattle. The site of the new building of John Hay School was purchased at a cost of $45,424, and there the brick building, costing $99,971 was built. It was completed in September 1922. The school had grown from eight rooms in 1906 to twelve rooms in 1914. In 1921 the four portables were remodeled at a cost of $772. The reason the new building was built so far from the other building was that the older building was not expected to be used so long. It was to be torn down and an addition built on to the brick building. In 1931 or 1932 Mercer School closed. Between one hundred and one hundred and fifty children came to John Hay from there. Miss Nettie Thompson, who came to John Hay in 1917, is still active and teaching here. A number of students who attended John Hay in its earlier days are now prominent in Seattle and elsewhere. Among them are Daisy Spieseke, now a professor in Teachers College at Columbia University; Charlotte Bisazza, a director of art at Franklin High School; and Warren Hazzard who teaches journalism and edits the school newspaper at Garfield High School, and is himself an author. His students have received national recognition on more than one occasion. Others are Pay Myers and Robert Montgomery who are teaching at Harvard. Eve Spear is a lawyer and Harry Webster is at Boeing Aircraft Company following engineering lines. Robert Macfarlane was a prominent judge in the city and was at one time President of the School Board. Horace Vanasse is a vice president of the Bank of California in Seattle. Another prominent alumna is Waldo Chase who studied in China, then returned to Seattle to become one of our outstanding artists. Early in its history, John Hay School excelled in literature, English and reading. Such was our interest in good reading that we started a reading contest with some of the other schools. Principals of those buildings were invited to come to hear our students read, and in turn, Miss Lovering visited their schools for the same purpose. Later best readers chosen from each contesting school read before a group of neutral judges and John Hay won the contest. John Hay School also excelled in art and music. Forty years ago schools were just beginning to use phonographs in music teaching. In order to have one for the schools use, the school planned an entertainment featuring the folk games and dances of other lands, and the project became so ambitious that it required stage facilities. So the school gained permission to use the Queen Anne High School auditorium and charged admission for the performance, thereby raising $200. With it the school bought a fine, large phonograph and some choice records. This was one of the first to be owned by a Seattle School. It is difficult now for us to think of our primary building as being the most modern structure of its day. It was indeed the show building of that time, and when out-of-town visitors were brought there to visit, they always enjoyed the commanding views from its windows. On clear days these visitors were taken up to the attic where there was a trap door which opened to a little enclosure on the roof of the building and from there the views of the city were magnificent. As there was no manual training center in the building, the boys went to Warren Avenue School for their instruction and the girls also had domestic science training in another building. On Memorial Day, 1906, Miss Nettletons's third grade class planted a birch tree in the southwest corner of the school grounds. This tree is still standing. When the school flag was first run up on the tall flag pole in the southwest corner of the grounds, the mayor of the city was present. The mother of Herbert and Clark Willey, who were once pupils of John Hay, painted the oil portrait of John Hay which now hangs in the main entrance. John Hay School was the first school in the city to obtain the Minute Man Flag for having 100 Percent in buying War Bonds and Stamps".

        Copied by Leslie Hamilton (S-69).

        Accompanying text: "Most of the information for this school history was obtained from a letter written by Miss L. Maxing Kelly, first principal of Interbay School. In it she described her first trip to Interbay in 1903. Much of the way the street car passed over trestles along the waterfront and up Smith's Cove. At that time the Interbay area was a low gulch, sometimes called 'pirate land' where the tide flats and marshes of Smith's Cove and Salmon Bay almost met. Interbay School was preceded by Salmon Bay Annex in 1901, which was renamed Interbay Annex in 1902. These temporary schools were under the supervision of the principal of the Salmon Bay School, a mile or more to the north, which later became the Lawton School. The site of Interbay School was acquired in 1902 and the new building was opened for classes on December 3rd of that year. Miss Kelly, the first principal, took charge in the fall of 1903 on a rather foggy, dreary day. Although not overjoyed at her annual salary of $700, Miss Kelly was happy to be working in Seattle and taking charge of a building which, through the years, has been a melting pot of nationalities. At one time, wrote Miss Kelly, the school membership included Russians, Latvians, Austrians, Lithuanians, Germans, Armenians, Italians, Irishmen, Finns, Swedes, Danes, Japanese, Icelanders, and Norwegians. Even among the teachers were included one of the English ancestry, one English-Welsh, one Scotch-Irish, one Dutch, and one Manx. This mixture of nationalities never failed to make a place in school district competitions, and in the years which have passed many have filled positions of prominence. Miss Kelly recalls that one became captain of police, another an assistant state attorney general, two instructors and one coach at the University of Washington, four became Seattle public school teachers, and the list is endless. One quiet, modest little fellow led the attack on Attu. Miss Kelly recalls that southwest corner of the school grounds were originally quite swampy and that Captain George W. Kimball did more than anyone else in getting it filled. Captain Kimball also presented the school with its first athletic equipment- a bat and ball. 'I had several frightening experiences,' wrote Miss Kelly. 'A substitute janitor was caught in the big pulley in the fan room. I heard an awful noise and when I looked in I found him going round and round on this big wheel. Luckily I had learned how to turn off the fan. Another time I had to call the office for help when a workman was electrocuted on the roof of a portable. Then another time Mr. Cooper nearly scared the life out of me. He came bounding in the front door with 'are you all right?' and away he went. In half an hour he was back to explain-- 'someone phoned me that the Interbay building had collapsed.' Actually, it was the old Lawton School which was being torn down.' Interbay school had five teachers in 1903 and this number steadily increased until there were twelve in 1910. In 1916 a kindergarten was added and in 1922 a portable annex was set up on the present site of Magnolia School. The Magnolia Annex grew to three rooms before the first unit of the present structure was completed. With the opening of the Magnolia School in 1927, and accelerated by the opening of St. Margaret's Parochial School in 1930, Interbay School entered a decline which continued until the school closed in 1939. In 1932 Miss Kelly was transferred to the Cascade School and her place was filled by Mr. Edgar Stanton. He in turn was replaced by Mr. H.V. Mattern in 1937, who remained with the school until it was closed two years later. Miss Kelly's letter closed with the following poem which served as inspiration to Interbay teachers. 'One sister works on the terraced hills; And one in the gulch below, And it rests with the gods who grind their mills; That the gulch work will ever show. The sister who works on the terraced hills; An earthly crown will wear, But the crown of the one who toils in the gulch; Will be but her own gray hair. For the soil of the gulch is strong and coarse; And results are hard to see; But the goal of the gulch is the human soul, So hurrah for the gulch, say we.'"

        Accompanying text: "The school population of the Magnolia Bluff and Carleton Park areas in the early 20's was scattered along 28th Avenue West and in Carleton Park. Pupils of these areas attended either the Interbay School or Lawton School. On September 16, 1921, a delegation from the district waited upon the school board to point out the hazards of bus traffic to Interbay and to state that some parents were keeping children home because of the condition. About 40 pupils were in the area. These were below the fifth grade level. On September 23, the Board passed the following resolution: "Resolved, that we establish one portable school building at a convenient place, location to be determined, on Magnolia Bluff, and that a teacher be furnished to care for pupils of the following grades: 1B, 1A, 2B, 2A, and 3B, and that all children of these grades residing in the Magnolia District be required to attend this school. Following this action, the Board listened to a long series of protest against the establishment of the portable school and later against the site selected. This site one on Block 24, Arlington Heights, between Twenty-seventh Avenue West and Twenty-eighth Avenue West. The site cost the school district $4500 at the time of purchase. The purchase was made on March 3, 1922. All protests were overruled as not valid and the portable was established for school in September, 1922. The first school opened on September 5, 1922. The first school opened on September 5, 1922 under the discretion of Miss Maxine Kelley, Interbay School Principal. Miss Neria McKee was the first teacher. Miss McKee continued as teacher until 1925 when Miss Jessie Norman and Miss Ursula Williams were assigned. The following year an additional portable was added. Teachers then were Miss Madeline Temple, Miss Cora Anderson (retired in 1947 after twenty consecutive years at Magnolia), and Miss E. May Allen. Up until the school year of 1927-28 the school had been under the direction of the Interbay Principal. With the beginning of this year, Miss Zella E. Allen was appointed Head Teacher of the independent school. She also taught fifth and sixth grades. Miss Jeannette Nelson, Miss Ruth Franks, Miss Cora Tomlinson. Miss Jeannette Nelson, Miss Ruth Franks, Miss Cora Tomlinson and Miss Martha Leckey were added to the staff. Miss Leckey is still teaching at Magnolia. Of the first pupils in the portable at Magnolia, two have been identified as living in the district. Ina L. Knudsen is now Mrs. Raymond H. Gustafson and has a child attending our present sixth grade. Robet Frizzell resides in the district and has a boy in grade four. Memories are still fresh of the cow trails instead of streets and the excellent fishing in Wolf Creek. Mrs. Gustafson sent a picture of the first graduating class from Magnolia School. Included in the photograph were: Mark Peterson, Evelyn Staney, Kathryn Granberger, Kenneth Delalege, Bernice Hanson, Bill Davis, Bettina Banks, Bumeice Kerr, Madeline Wood, Don Engle, Roy Wendt, Johnny E. Wood. Billy James Erickson, Marshall Alexander, Judith Walen and Ina Knudsen. In March, 1927, contracts were awarded for a nine-room school to cost $74,128. Population growth soon made necessary an addition, and in 1931 the present plant was completed. Over-crowding made it necessary to transfer the eighth grade to the Queen Anne High School. During the present year (1948) the school again faces an over-crowded condition, and the School Board has authorized the construction of a primary school on the Briarcliff site near West Dravus and Thirty-ninth Avenue West."

        Accompanying text: "Mercer School was built in 1890 at Fourth Avenue North and Valley Street, near the center of a community which was known at that time as North Seattle. David Grahm, Walter Grahm, Daniel Bagley and Thomas Mercer, leader in this community, were instrumental in securing the building which was erected on part of the Thomas Mercer Donation Claim. Mr. Mercer was an early director of the School District. The business center of this community was located at 5th Avenue North and Aloha Street at the end of Virginia Street car line. Almost immediately the school became over-crowded and an addition was built in 1892 and for a short while a one-room annex was maintained at Fifth Avenue North and Harrison Street. After Warren Avenue School was built in 1902 enrollment at Mercer declined, and, shortly after the Denny Regrade was completed, it was closed as a regular school. It continued to be used as an adjustment school and then as a training school for custodians until it was finally removed in 1948 to make way for the new Administrative and Service Center. The principals who served at Mercer School in the order of the periods of service were the following: Charles Fagan, T.P. Storey, George W. McCauley, George A. Spencer, Forrest J. Dollinger, T.P. Storey, Forrest J. Dollinger, Wilmot G. Whitfield, H.A. Cassidy, Dio Richardson, K.H. Knutson, Mary Fenton, M.O. Roark, W.H. Ellert, and Alice Casey."

Well, if you remember the old Mercer School, the Queen Anne Historical Society would like to hear from you and have you share some of the other things you remember about the school and those days. The Society shares this information: Mercer School opened its doors on Monday September 15, 1890. the eight rooms were not enough for the 450 pupils who arrived, so the school district rented rooms in a nearby house for the first and second grades. The principal's pay was $160 a month. Mercer School was located in 'North Seattle,' as it was called then- on the block bounded by Valley, High, Box and Ash Streets. If that sounds unfamiliar, the same block, at Valley Street and Fourth Avenue North, is now the site of the Seattle Public Schools Administration Offices, built in 1949. The Queen Anne Historical Society will hold it next meeting at 8 p.m. Wednesday, November 8, in the West Queen Anne School auditorium." Taken from the Queen Anne NewsOctober 25, 1972.

        Accompanying text "Back in the days when much of the city of Seattle was covered by trees there was a small settlement north of Seattle called Ross. In this settlement lived the Peterson family on land which they took as a homestead in 1880. The Peterson children sold milk to neighbors for five cents a quart. The children attended the Ross School which was located across the creet which is now the canal. The Peterson children enjoyed boating in a small lake which was located where the playfield is now. For their entertainment, Mr. Peterson built tennis courts on part of the property. The Peterson house still stands on the corner to the west of the school. In 1911 the Seattle School District bought for building purposes the property where the tennis courts were. This is the site of North Queen Anne School. In 1914 the original part of the building was completed. In 1933 an addition of eight rooms was built. For many years a large gravel pit was located immediately behind the school, and due to a tragic accident the community was aroused to action in an effort to remove this hazard. After several years the present playfiled was constructed which provides the children of the school with a fine place for play and physical education activities. In October 1957, the auditorium was destroyed by fire. Included in the loss were the school's library books which were shelved at the rear of the auditorium. During the summer of 1958, renovation work was done and the former auditorium and lunchroom were combined into a single unit. A long stage was built which serves as the school library when not in use as a stage. North Queen Anne School has had a very active Parent-Teacher Association since 1917. Mrs. Hill was first president. Through the years the group has been instrumental in instituting ideas and acquired things which would enable the children to get a better education. The first principal was Miss Anna May Matheson. Succeeding principals were Mr. Charles Gray, Mr. Lester Roblee, Mr. O.E. Swanson, Mr. Ray W. Wlder, Mr. Karl Gaylord, Mr. Clifton Crook, and Mr. Howard Keller. Mr. Warren Wilson is the present principal."

        Accompanying text: "Rainier School is one of our oldest school buildings, having been built in 1890. It was preceded by the little Jackson Street School built on leased land across the street to the north from the present building. This building and the other temporary rooms which were added to it was sometimes called the Market Street School because 23rd Avenue South was called Market Street at that time. Rainier continued as an eight grade elementary school until 1940 when most of the pupils were transferred to Colman School. After remaining empty for three years it was reopened as the Building Trades Unit of the Edison Technical School."

        Accompanying text: "In the absence of any available picture of the original one-room 'shack' building which preceded today's West Queen Anne School we are including a photograph of what was originally known as the 'Market Street School.' This Market Street School was built in 1885 on what would be today’s' Twenty-fourth Avenue South, just south of Jackson Street. Today’s' Twenty-fourth Avenue South was formerly known as Market Street. Hence the name. The school was built and its use donated to the community by the pioneer realty firm of Eshelman, Lewellyn & Company, then engaged in publicizing the district. The city provided the teacher and paid her salary. The first teacher, Miss Martha P. Lucas, is shown with her class in this picture. The Market Street School preceded the Rainier School, built in 1890, and was abandoned with the opening of the Rainier. The area immediately surrounding Twenty-fourth Avenue South and Jackson Streets was one of the earliest developed suburban areas. While it was not connected with downtown until 1888 with the completion of the Yesler Way cable line, it had been on the old stage line route between town and Leschi Park on Lake Washington and quite a few families had settled there. These little one and two-room schools, which preceded the larger schools erected later, cost from $300 to $500 each. All these little schools were much alike in appearance."

        Accompanying text: "Ross School: John Ross was an early pioneer in this area who took up a homestead north of Queen Anne Hill in 1853. For many years there was no canal in this area, only a small creek bridged at Third Avenue Northwest. Children from what are now the North Queen Anne, B.F. Day, and West Woodland School districts attended this pioneer school. The original Ross School was annexed to Seattle School District No. 1 in 1891. The school was first opened in 1873 when Mrs. John Ross insisted that some provision be made for the education of her children and permitted a vacant second floor room of her home to be used for this purpose. Miss Lima Penfield was the first teacher. As enrollment increased a two-room frame school house was built and this was used for many years. A new eight-room building was opened on January 5, 1903, and when this building became overcrowded, Ross Annex was opened in 1905 at the site of the present West Woodland School. The building of West Woodland School and Alexander Hamilton Junior High School and the development of this district as an industrial area reduced enrollment to the place where, in 1940, the school was closed and the building torn down. Many present and past principals of larger Seattle Schools had their first administrative experiences at Ross School. Until 1900 Ross had no principal of its own but since that time the following have served: Charles Tilton, Mrs. A.W. Aitchison, Clare E. Lowell, William Lucas, A.G. Sears, D.D. Johnson, E.C. Roberts, Belle Dirimple, Helen Laurie, W.C. Marshall, Kenneth E. Selby, Edgar Stanton, and Olaf Swanson."

        Accompanying text: "Main Street School: The first South School, a one story building of two rooms located at Sixth Avenue and Main Street, was built in 1873. This school was occupied regularly until 1889 when a new South School was opened at or near the site of the present Bailey Gatzert School. At this time the name of the old South School was changed and during the years which followed it was usually called the Main Street School but sometime Main Street Annex, Creelman Kindergarten or just Kindergarten. From 1889 to 1897 the building was used occasionally for emergency school needs but from 1897 to 1912 it housed Seattle's first public kindergarten, taught by Miss Ellen Creelman. In 1900 it was enlarged to four rooms, the two additional rooms sometimes being referred to as the Main Street Annex. The new South School was closed to make way for the Jackson Street regrade project and, while most of the children were transferred to the Colman School which was opened this year, some were placed in the Main Street School. From this period on it grew in enrollment and additional rooms were rented. In 1921, Bailey Gatzert School was opened only a few b locks away and the Main Street School was finally closed. The property was sold soon after and was used by the Seattle Park Department for a number of years before it was finally torn down."

The South School, although an excellent brick building somewhat of the Denny and Central School type which lasted much longer, was built on a site which gave it an imposing view. However, it was so weakened by excavation during the Jackson regrade project that it was closed in 1909 and torn down. On this same site fourteen years later the present Bailey Gatzert School was built. Graduates of the South School still maintain an alumni association. Principals who served in this school included the following: John D. Atkinson, C.A. Taylor, W.G. McCarthy and B.R. McElreath."

        Copied by Leslie Hamilton (S-91).

        Accompanying text: "Warren Avenue School: Warren Avenue School was first built in 1902 on Warren Avenue, or Warren Street as it was then named. The land upon which the Warren Avenue School rests was part of David Denny's old Donation Claim. The year 1852 found David Denny, with other men of foresight and vision, headed west- where they founded Seattle. Mr. Denny filed for his Donation Claim in 1852 or 1853. This claim covered an area, that majority of which is known today as lower Queen Anne Hill. Deeds to his land prohibited the erection of buildings for sale of intoxicating beverages because of his strict adherence to temperance- hence Temperance Street and what we now know as Queen Anne Avenue. We have been unable to find out why Warren Avenue was called Warren, but theories are that Warren was the general of Bunker Hill fame, or that it was named after Mr. Warren, an early Police Chief of Seattle. In 1885 the financial interest of David Denny and George Kinnear built the original horse car system, which motivated a real estate boom to the lower Queen Anne Area, then the outskirts of Seattle. The first electric streetcar system installed about 1890 helped to open the Mercer School, where our present new School Administration Building now stands. Mr. Denny extended his land by purchasing property to Elliott Bay on the west, and platted Queen Anne proper in 1882 into five residential districts. He resided in this area; two of his homes are still standing although they are now converted into other uses. Mr. Denny's means and influence were a powerful factor in the development of the area in which our school stands. He was in every sense a community leader. In Block 35 of Denny's Home Addition, the Warren Avenue School was built. The plot between Harrison and Republican, Second Avenue North and Warren Avenue was purchased in 1902 and its twelve-room structure erected that year. Later, an adjoining piece of land was purchased with an addition of an eight-room building added in 1914. The estimated value of its building was $74,950. An interesting view of the school was taken in 1905, showing the girls of the school at play on the croquet courts- a pastime for children in earlier days. In the final year of the school we would see children playing with 'hula hoops,' perhaps a game of 'tether ball' or climbing on 'monkey bars.' Thomas Story was the school's first principal, transferred from Mercer School. He served as principal for two years, 1902 to 1904. In the year 1944, Warren Avenue had an important addition come into its service. In the portable where the play center of World War II once was, facilities were made to accommodate classes for children having Cerebral Palsy. Included in the curriculum was a place for youngsters having sight and hearing defects. It has not been unusual during these years to see taxis transporting some of these children to and from school from all parts of Seattle. Many improvements have been made to the school including renovation of the lunchroom facilities, installation of acoustical tile throughout ceilings of the building, painting both inside and out, paving and fencing of playground area. The maple trees which were planted even before concrete sidewalks were laid along Western Avenue were taken out in recent years. The reason for this action was that due to their immense size, the roots were interfering with the pipes and sidewalks. Many at the school were saddened at these trees having to be removed. In 1957 a proposal was presented to the voters of Seattle on the development of a Civic Center on what would cover the greater part of the old Denny property referred to earlier in our story. Already on this site were standing the Civic Auditorium, Field Artillery Armory, Shrine Temple and High School Memorial Stadium. Considering the central location and existing buildings, it was decided that this area was the proper place for a Civic Center, thus adding to the cultural growth of Seattle. As planning progressed, it was decided to use this same site for a World’s Fair, namely the 'Century 21 Exposition.' Much detail of this venture is still in the planning stage; however, Warren Avenue School is included in this site and was sold to the State of Washington for the sum of $667,980 in 1957. The school was served in its lifetime of 57 years by eight principals and approximately 230 teachers. Pupils graduating from Warren Avenue would exceed 2,000. To show the gradual recession of residences from the school area, we might compare the maximum of 800 student enrollment in 1928 and 1929 with our final enrollment of 250 in 1958 and 1959. In the fall of 1959, students enrolled at Warren Avenue were transferred to other schools. Regular pupils attend either West Queen Anne or John Hay. The cerebral palsy group go to Lowell School with improvements made for their special type of equipment needed. Blind children go to John Hay, the sight-saving to Coe and the hard-of hearing to Green Lake School."

        Accompanying text: "Broadway High School: To obtain a true picture of the early history of Broadway High School, one must climb upon the magic carpet and waft himself back to the little pioneer village of Seattle on Puget Sound, for Broadway was only the successor of that first primitive high school. Those early settlers fully realized the value of education, and even though they were far removed from the East and its cultural advantages, they had come with the firm determination that their children should have all the advantages in the field of education that were possible in a new country. From the very beginning, they knew that the success of their great adventure would depend upon the education of their children, who much carry on the project they had started. That first high school was a very simple one, but the pride that the settlers took in it was enormous. It was first housed in a rented building, but as the attendance increased, it seemed desirable to have a permanent building for it, so the school was moved to a rather small wooden structure on Seventh Avenue and Madison Street. It remained there until the building was destroyed by a fire in 1888, and the school was again forced to occupy rented quarters. No world even of that day seemed more important than that first commencement in 1886 with its graduating class of twelve members. After the fire, a new red brick building, the Central School, which is still standing, was erected on the same spot. By 1889, the high school enrollment had increased to the point where the entire third floor was given over to it. The Board breathed a sigh of relief to think that the problem was settled for some years to come. Little did they know! The magic growth of the city was already beginning, and it was not very long before Superintendent Barnard began to make some very annoying suggestions. Seattle needed a new high school! He had spent much time and study on the question and had a most comprehensive report all prepared. The board merely laughed at his suggestions and dismissed the matter by assuring him that it would be many years before such a building as he had planned would be needed. Nothing daunted him, so he prepared reports on both the building for the high school and on the rapidly growing population of the city. Finally the Board could no longer ignore the situation, and very reluctantly they began to consider seriously the propositon of bulding a new Seattle High School, as it was then called. Finally the lots on the corner of Broadway and Pine were acquired at a cost $13,000 and plans were drawn for a building to cost $250,000, a large sum in those days. For some unknown reason, the architecture was modeled on the Petit Palais in France. Then the public rose, and a storm of protest raged in Seattle. 'It's a terrible waste of public money!' 'The idea of building a school of that size!' 'Seattle will not need a school like that for twenty-five years!' 'They'll never fill it!' 'Why do they want to put it away out there?' Work was finally started on the building, and again the Board felt greatly relieved, as now there would be no need of another high school for at least ten years. It was ready for occupancy in 1902, and it soon became one of the sights of the city. The first faculty meeting was held the Saturday before Labor Day in the church across the street, and after the meeting, the teachers were taken to inspect their new home. Seattle was veiled in smoke that day from the raging forest fires, so the faculty had its first view of Broadway with illumination from kerosene lamps and candles. The dramatic effect of the opening was somewhat overshadowed by the arrival of a new football coach from Ann Arbor, an event of major importance because of its novelty. By 1904, the school attendance had grown to 1,700 because of the influx of population after the Gold Rush. The building was becoming very crowded, and again the Board was obliged to recognize the fact and begin to make plans to relieve the congestion. In 1906, an annex to the school was started in the new Franklin School on Eighteenth Avenue and Main Street. This became a separate high school in 1908, and in 1912 it was moved to Mt. Baker, where it became Franklin High. Lincoln High had also been erected in the meantime to accommodate the high school students in the north end of the city, and the Seattle High School students who were assigned to attend it parted from their old school with real regret and with many protests. The senior class was allowed to remain so that their diplomas would be granted by the school that they regarded as their true alma mater. The increase in attendance continued and finally portables were set up in the present Broadway Playfield. Temporary buildings were then erected on Twenty-fourth Avenue and Jefferson Street and they later became Garfield High School. Down through the years of its history, Broadway High school had several different names. In 1883, it was christened Seattle High School. During 1892-93, the name was changed to Senior Grammar School on account of a technical point in the Washington School law relative to school funds. The law had used the phrase 'common schools,' and the Board was not sure that it could claim money for a high school under that wording. After three or four years, the old name of Seattle High School was restored, and it carried that name until 1903. At the city continued to expand, that name seemed inadequate, so in 1906 it became the Washington High School. This new name, however, caused confusion with the University of Washington, especially in the field of athletics, so on October 8, 1908, the Board officially adopted the name of Broadway High School. It was really the public that had selected that name, for it had become the local custom to speak of it as 'the big school down on Broadway,' and some of its students were commonly referred to as 'the Broadway bunch.' Black and Orange were selected as its colors; the Tiger was chosen as its emblem; the teams were called the Tigers or the Bengals. Broadway's successful career was due in a large measure to the very able men who served as its principals and vice-principals. Mr. Edwin Twitmyer became head of the little school in 1891, and he served until 1904, when he was succeeded by Mr. Geiger. Then followed in succession Mr. Cole, Mr. Froula, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Pfaff. Vice-principalships have been held by Mr. B.W. Johnson, Mr. Kirkpatrick, Mr. McKeown, Mr. Higgins, Mr. Fulton, Mr. Heber Johnson, and Mr. Clark. Broadway High had many and varied organizations during its long years of public service. In the early days, the sound of the marching feet of the Cadet Corps could be heard until it was finally disbanded in 1908. Whims, the school paper, was first published in 1895 in the form of a monthly magazine that sold for ten cents. John Dore, who later became mayor of the city, was its business manager in 1898-99. In 1904, the first real annual, Sealth, was published. Previously the annual had been only an enlarged edition of the monthly magazine. With the exception of two years, when its publication was suspended, it remained one of the most precious possessions of the students with its pictures, records of the year's events, and its scrawled signatures. In later years, both Whims and Sealth won many national awards for their outstanding journalism. The Honor Society, which was organized in 1904, was one of the oldest clubs that remained until the school was closed. In 1920, Broadway High School took a long step forward in the field of education and did pioneer work when it organized the first Student Council. The students now began to participate in the administration of the school and its policies, and their new responsibilities proved valuable training for them. It gave them the opportunity to see the picture from the other side, and in so doing, they developed a new and more tolerant attitude toward the administration and its problems. The idea of preparation for service to the community received a new emphasis, and in carrying on the work of the Student Council, many students received valuable training that proved useful in the business world later. Education, like time, marches on, and new trends were changing the established patterns. Vocational education was being more and more strongly stressed. It had become very evident that Seattle was greatly in need of a well equipped school to give that particular type of training. The Second World War was over, and the young veterans came flocking home to finish their interrupted educations. They presented a new problem and a real challenge. They had gone away boys; they had come back men. They did not fit into the old school patterns, and it was soon very evident that some provision must be made to take care of their needs. Then, too, a new emphasis was being placed at this time on adult education. The enrollment of Broadway had dropped, as the character of the community had changed. The area had now become an apartment house district, and families were selling the old homes and moving to the newer sections of the city. On June 3, 1946, the word came that Broadway High would be permanently closed on the last day of the school year, June 14. The shock to both the school and to the community was great, for Broadway had seemed so permanent and so very much a part of Seattle. A storm of protest arose from both the students and the patrons, but the Board had made the decision only after the most thoughtful consideration of the problem and for the best interests of the system. The word was final. No school ever had more loyal students and alumni than Broadway had had, and the phrase heard over and over again in those closing days was: 'but we shall not have a place to come back to.' It was true. The fountain, the clock in the lower hall , the beautiful mural in the auditorium would still be there, but it would no longer be 'our school.' The packing began, and the accumulations of over forty years were unearthed from cabinets and closets. The students had always looked forward with pleasant anticipation to the last assembly of the year, but that year there was no joy abroad in the land. On June 14, the students were assigned to the other high schools of the city; the keys were turned in; Broadway High School closed its doors for ever. It was re-opened the following September as Edison Technical School. If Broadway were still in existence, it could point with great pride to the large number of younger men and women prominent in Seattle today who received their early education in that institution. Their names appear not only in the activities in the city, but also in those of the state and of the nation, where they are making real contributions to the fields of business, professions, arts, science, and social services. They have become living monuments to the motto of the school: With promise of great reward."

        Accompanying text: "Ballard High School: Sixty years ago the district we proudly call Ballard was gently sloping land glorified with dense fir, pine, and hemlock forests sprinkled with giant red cedar trees. Lumbering got its first start in 1889 when Mr. Ballard built a small shingle mill. Early pioneers felled the trees and floated to the mill, using brawn alone, for modern machinery was still locked in the future. In the first to years of its existence, the mill turned out $70,000 worth of rough lumber, a record in those days. From this comparatively mild and meek beginning, the Seattle Cedar and Lumber Manufacturing Company has grown. The mill is one hundred percent electrically operated, giving employment to six hundred men. In all parts of the world people eat salmon, halibut, herring and other inhabitants of the briny deep, caught by Ballard fishermen. The center of the fishing industry is Salmon Bay. On the south side is the Salmon Bay Terminal, winter home of many Puget Sound and Alaska commercial fishing boats. It is operated by the Port of Seattle. Mooring facilities are provided by the Port, and in 1936 a net-drying shed was built with W.P.A. labor. Naturally this concentration of boats, fish and sea-minded men brings into being other related industries such as boat-building, repair plants, marine railways, machine shops, blacksmith shops, sail makers, marine outfitters, and spar manufacturers. Tugs and barges belong in this group, too. Building ships and overhauling hulls are important parts of both the fishing and lumbering industry. In early days Ballard had many unusual names for its streets. For example, 67th was once called "Briggs Street," 65th was "Ships Street," 64th, "North Street," 62nd, "Post Street." and Market Street was once called "Broadway." The city limits were, north to 65th, south to the canal, east to Division Avenue, and west to the sound. There are not many people who remember when the horse barns were at 14th Street and Market. Sixteen teams of horses were used to haul wagons. A lively business was carried on in providing horses and vehicles for parties, weddings nad funerals. The first motor truck, a three-ton White, was purchased by the Ballard Transfer, up to the time known as the Ballard Livery and Transfer Company in 1900. There was a street car line into Seattle just as the city rounded the century line. some car lines were owned by private individuals. Harry Treet owned the Loyal Heights street car-line that went over Market, up 20th to 67th, back on 67th to 28th and out 28th to 85th Street. A Mr. Brown owned one that ran from 76th down to 14th and on down to Market. The Ballard-Fremont streetcar line reached the end of its line at 63rd and 14th. A ride was not very expensive in those days. Tickets sold for three cents per ride. Without tickets it was five cents per ride. Ballard's first school was on Ballard Avenue across from Simson Metal Works. The first two-story school was on Market and 20th where Mittlestadt's driveway is now. The small, overcrowded wooden building, with its many inconveniences, proved too small for the thriving community, so in 1916 Ballard High School moved to its present-day location on 65th and 14th Avenue N.W. With its clean-swept sidewalks and well-kept lawns, its wealth of shrubbery and distinctive iron work, the friendly red brick building now welcomed any boy or girl."

        Accompanying text: "Queen Anne High School: Seattle's growth from the time of the arrival of the Denny party in 1852 to the end of the century was slow but consistent, with the peoples income principally derived from the fine stand of merchantable timber that reached down to the waters edge. Originally this timber could be moved out only by ship but the completion of the railroads in the late '80's and early '90's made possible an inland market as well and established Seattle as the principal city on Puget Sound. Even so it was a frontier sawmill town until the discovery of gold in the Klondike drew, with the magic traditional of that peculiar metal, men from the ends of the earth to seek their fortunes in the far north. Seattle was their place of outfitting and embarkation and as a result this sprawling sawmill village became, overnight, a world city. But even before the news of gold made the world Seattle conscious, the lumber industry had brought about a sufficient growth to push the outskirts up the slopes of First Hill, north to -and soon around- the shores of Lake Union, past Denny's Hill out north of Belltown and up the slopes of a still bigger hill- timber covered, yet supporting a fine strand of grass, and watered by several springs that flowed throughout the year. This hill, because of the distinct architectural features of some of its first houses, was soon to be called Queen Anne. The first person actually to settle in this neighborhood was Thomas Mercer whose claim was located at what is now the corner of Mercer Street and Queen Anne Avenue. He was shortly followed by George Kinnear whose house, still standing, was one of the showplaces of the city, and Dr. H.A. Smith who settled in the area that, due to the peculiar arrangement of the waterfront, soon came to be known as Interbay. Dr. Smith's name is perpetuated in Smith's Cove, now the site of a naval station and the headquarters of the Thirteenth Naval District. Kinnear, Mercer, and Dr. Smith were soon followed by other families: the Brooks, the Blaines, the Clarence Bagleys, the Chapins, the Petersons, the Cranes, the Duffy's, the Andrews, and the Shorrocks. The first grade school on the Hill, West Queen Anne, with Miss Lizzie Hill as the first teacher, was opened in 1890 to serve these families. Mercer School at Fourth Avenue North and Valley Street was opened the same year to serve the families in that section of the Hill. The phenomenal growth enjoyed by this city as a result of the gold rush to Alaska had already been suggested. In this growth Queen Anne Hill shared a considerable part- a growth that, measured in terms of public school attendance, soon forced the opening of portables on the present Frantz H. Coe and John Hay sites which were first operated as 'annexes' of West Queen Anne. These annexes were later established as independent grade schools and, in addition, continued growth of the Hill community brought about the establishment of Warren Avenue School in the Civic Auditorium area and North Queen Anne School on the north slope of the hill. To return to Dr. Smith's Interbay: before long, after the first homes were located in this area, families began to cross the intervening lowlands and settle in what is now mistakenly known as Magnolia Bluff. Mistakenly, because Dr. George Davidson, the eminent geographer and astronomer, saw the madrona trees that grow along the edge of the hill from the bay and called them magnolias. Children of these families attended Interbay, Ross, B.F. Day, and later, Lawton Schools. With the opening of the first Dravus Street Bridge the Magnolia section can be said to have begun its present growth which has continued to the present time with a modern building replacing the earlier portables at Magnolia School in 1927 and the site for a new junior high school only recently acquired. This growth of the Queen Anne Hill community, as demonstrated in the number of grade schools established, began to develop agitation for a high school soon after the turn of the century when the 'gold rush' increase in Seattle's population became an established reality. Although at that time it was evident that the trend of residential construction was toward the north, there was considerable opposition to the locating the school as far north as Galer Street, the opponents of the hilltop location maintaining that the building should be built closer to the center of the city in the area now known as the Denny Regrade. The farsightedness of the men who made the final selection, and successfully met all opposition to their choice, is borne out by the fact that in subsequent years Lincoln, Ballard, and Roosevelt High Schools have all been built father North. The location finally agreed upon, construction was begin in 1908 and, while not entirely finished, was ready for school to open in September 1909. The cost of the original unit, $240,000 was raised by a bond issue but the contractors’, Anderson-Power Construction Company, failed just short of its completion and the Title Guaranty and Surety Company, the contractors’ completion bondsmen settled the contractors’ outstanding accounts. Classes in the new Queen Anne High School opened in September 1909 with 613 students and 22 teachers. Of the latter only two are presently members of the staff: B.J. Uhl and the principal, O.L. Luther. Mr. S.E. Fleming, now the Superintendent of Schools, was head of the history department of the first faculty. Since Mr. Uhl was in government service during World War I, Mr. Luther is the only member of the present faculty to have served continuously since the school opened. The distinction with which he has occupied this position is best realized when the success in intellectual, as well as athletic, completion. Queen Ann's graduates, numbering now into the thousands, have come to assume positions of leadership in almost every field of endeavor- these fields being city, state, nation, and indeed in some instances, world wide. Continued growth of the Queen Anne Hill and Magnolia communities brought about the construction for the Annex in 1929. This annex consisting of modern classrooms, athletic areas and one of the finest school auditorium-theaters in the country materially increased the school's capacity to serve its community. Many people prominent in the city's industrial, artistic and professional life have lived on the Hill, have themselves been graduated from Queen Anne High School, have enrolled their children here, or have remained friends and patrons of the school. Among the names, in such a lists, in addition to those mentioned earlier are the Black, Polson, McDermott, Blethen, Lomen, and Brace families as well as those of Mr. William Harper, Harry Whitney Treat, and John F. Miller. This list also includes the families of Frank S. Bailey, Paul Harper, James Gibbs, Barney Hartzman, F.W. Martin, Robert A. Macfarland, Mrs. Charles Albert Phillips, Judge Addison Beeler, The Turner brothers of Turner and Pease, Jerry Bryant, Judge Allan Pomeroy, Stewart Fraser, Major General Wm. Marquat, Col. Charles Waters, Dick Richard, Henry Ketchum, Charles Stewart, Helen Maring, Kohn Cherberg, Steve Anderson, Charles Wills, Carle Ernest, and Tracy Strong."

Mr. Denny was an organizer and charter member of the first Seattle Lodge of Good Templars, a pioneer advocate of woman suffrage and in the days when it was customary for settlers to obtain their meat supplies from game which roamed the adjoining wilds, is reputed to have shot the last antlered Elk killed in the vicinity of Seattle.

        Caption: In the early 1880s, German-born Henry Argens moved north from Virginia City to establish a lock, safe and gunsmith shop in Seattle. And because he was good at his trade, Argens' shop prospered until 1889 when it and most of downtown Seattle perished in the fire. Salvaging what tools he could, he opened his shop again in a tent and spent much of his time opening charred safes and strong boxes to recover valuables for their owners. In 1890, the firm moved to more stable quarters at 83 S. Main Street (its present location) where the founder and his son, William, continued to develop the business. William Argens took over the operation in 1917 upon the death of his father and even today is at his work bench behind the front counter. Third- and fourth-generation Argens continue to run the business which, in its 96th year, is one of the largest such firms in the Northwest.- "Seattle Business," August 9, 1976.

        Article from the Seattle Timesinserted with picture. Text: "Tattle on Seattle: On June 6, young Seattle was busily going about its daily tasks. In the basement of one of the buildings on Front Street, James McGough ran a paint store and woodwork shop. His assistant was heating glue over a gasoline stove when the glue boiled over and caught fire. Gobs of flaming glue spread to the floor- covered with wood shavings- and McGough and his assistant fled as the flames engulfed the room. Immediately on the scene was a hose cart pulled by men and boys as well as Seattle's first steam fire engine. It was apppoximately 2:30 in the afternoon when the glue boiled over and by 3 p.m. the fire had spread over the enitire block. Hot cinders were blown to nearby wooden structures and soon they were solid flames. The mayor ordered a heavy charge of dynamite exploded in hopes of forming a fire gap. But when the fire reached the blown-up wreckage, it swept across it and headed to the wharfs. Boats near the wharf had already had disembarked to escape. By 4 p.m, the people of Seattle knew their business district was ruiuned. Men and women began carrrying everything ouf of the stores that could be moved. The fire continued as saloons were ignited and barrels of whiskey exploded, spreading walls of flames. Later in the afternoon fire had reached two hardware stores and 50 tons of ammunition exploded for the next hour. By 3 a.m., 12 hours after the fire began, Seattle's business district, Skid Road and the waterfront had nothing left to burn. Some 120 acres of land had been singed by fire and 25 city blocks destroyed. The fire had been a tragedy, and 1,500 people lost their jobs directly because of it. But the next chapter in Seattle's history shows how proud, determined people pulled together to build a town. One and one-half days after the disaster, new locations for businesses were announced. As the banks promised loans for new construction, a new Seattle of stone and brick was designed against fire. Less than a year after the fire, a safer, more securely built Seattle had been established with an increase in population of 6000," June 4, 1977.
