Could it be Gonzaga Catholic H S ? I recently learned they had one back then.

No. Gonzaga was all boys till a few years ago. Girls went to Holy Names or Marycliff. The Area she is talking about would be close to North Central, but I think that may be too early. I wonder if it was South Central High School and the S looks like a G. Before North Central was built it was just called Spokane High School and it later burned down and they built a new school on the same spot Lewis and Clark Charles ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rene" <redeor@webtv.net> To: <WASPOKAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 1:23 AM Subject: [WASPOKANE] Re; High school pic > Could it be Gonzaga Catholic H S ?

--=======20626508======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-7A6644BE; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Charles I have a 1912 Plat book for Spokane County and I don't see any high schools at either 'end' of Boone. W 2700 would be farther west than North Central (although students from W Boone would attend N.C.) E 2700 Boone would be near to Green Street and possibly would have attended South Central.... It is an interesting PUZZLE. I have a couple of older Tamaracks, (NC annuals) and it appears that school was built in 1909 if I read the Roman numerals correctly: MCMIX. Taken from the history page of Lewis and Clark High School: "The number of students enrolled at Central School rose with the increasing population of Spokane and it was soon evident that the town needed elementary schools and a separate high school. In 1890, citizens voted bonds to build a new high school and four elementary schools. The old Central school building was moved to the corner of Fifth and Bernard and became a private school. The new high school, known as Spokane High School, was constructed on the Fourth and Stevens site and opened in 1891. By 1906, the influx of immigrants and subsequent boom in Spokane's population created a need for a second high school. North Central High School was built and opened in 1908 to serve the students on the north side the river. Spokane High School became known as South Central High School. The number of students enrolled at Central School rose with the increasing population of Spokane and it was soon evident that the town needed elementary schools and a separate high school. In 1890, citizens voted bonds to build a new high school and four elementary schools. The old Central school building was moved to the corner of Fifth and Bernard and became a private school.

June 21, 1910 South Central burned. I wonder what that private school became? Nothing in the plat book helps. Unless there is a Boone Street/Avenue in one of the other Spokanes in the U.S. Could this be Girls Central High School (basketball team) -- were they the players or the cheer leaders?

JoAnn, Thanks for the information on the Spokane schools. Things to tuck away for future reference! I'm quite interested in the 1912 Plot book you have. Does it include Rockford and Otis Orchards? I am interested in getting copies of these plot maps. The families I'm interested in are: Rockford- James W. Johnson and Sly Otis Orchards: Haas and Goos Please let me know if you can provide me copies and what the cost would be. Thank you. Ruth Anne Goos Halligan Vallejo, California ranneh@napanet.net
