Lot of Nine Early Journals, Lewis & Clark High School, Spokane, Washington, 1912-1914
Nine literary journals from Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane Washington. The publications once belonged to Margaret (Marguerite) Elias (1896 Montana-1984 Spokane), who never married and whose occupation is listed as "keeping house." Her name is on the back of several of the issues.
In
1910 a fire destroyed most of South Central High School’s building – and South
students began attending school at North Central. This lasted for about a year-and-a-half,
during which time the two schools were called “Spokane High School”. South Central was rebuilt and reopened in 1912
– and re-named Lewis & Clark High School.
In
May 1912 the school published the first issue of the Lewis & Clark Journal
– that first journal is included in this group. The journal evolved from the earlier Orange
& Black that was issued by Spokane High School. Both journals were published
monthly during the school year, carried articles about school life and featured
photographs and information about graduating seniors. By 1920 the name of the
publication changed to The Tiger.
