The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-07-04

This week initiates the long summer
vacation in the session of our public
schools. The work of the term just
closed has been a satisfactory and sue
cessful one and with the same satisfac-
ton we can look over the history of
the educational system in our city.
The school was commenced in 1871
with sixty pupils. The register of the
term Just closed showed an attendance
of $50.
The corps of teachers has been in
creased to nine beside the principal,
Professor n. E. Stark, who filled that
position at its organization ten years
ago.
To the comparatively small building
first accommodating the school, several
additions have been made, forming the
present large and symetrical structure,
one of the most commencing features
of our western city. To the main build
ing two wings are attached. The one
on the east was built in 1871 and cost
about ten thousand dollars. 1t is 3Sx50
feet, has four rooms and will accommo-
date 200 pupils.
The main or central building was
built in 1876. This cost about ten
thousand dollars, including the furni-
ture. 1t is 40x60 feet, has four rooms,
three for school rooms and m for the
school library. This part of the
building will accommodate $50 pupils.
The left hand or west wing was built
in the fall Of 1881. 1t is 3Sx54 feet, has
four rooms and will accommodate $50
pupils.
In the whole building there are twelve
rooms and they will afford sittings
for about five hundred and fifty pupils.
The school has a fine library of about
five hundred and thirty volumes of
| choice text and reference books for the
use of the faculty and students. All
in all, it is an institution Of which the
citizens of Cheyenne may well be
proud.

the institution there are found but
seven graduates from the complete
course-a course as thorough and out
reaching in the classics and sciences as
any eastern high school. This is easily
accounted for by those acquainted with
the ever.changing tide of western popu-
lation.
The graduates were: Miss frankie
Logan, now married and residing Cali
fornia; Miss Ella HANNA, now engaged
as n OF the faculty; Miss Estelle Bull.
lock, of this city; Mort HANNA, now at
Buffalo, Wyoming; Miss Edith Duffey,
of this city; Miss Mary Sanders, of
this city; Miss Lille Morgan, Of this
city.
However, tile senior class, which will
next gradute. is a very fine one, both as
to numbers and members. 1t includes
Miss Katie Bristol, Nellie Stanley,
Della H~uffschmidt, and Messrs. Willie
Whipple, Samuel Idelman and Albert
Taylor.
Some changes have been made in the
faculty during the past year and others
may be made before the opening of the
ensuing term. 1t is quite probable that
the list may remain then as now, as all
the teachers will be qualified by educa-
tion and training for their works. At
the close of the last term the following
teachers we're engaged in the several
departments;
Professor n. E. Stark, principal,
connected with the institution ten
years.

high school, engaged here three years.
