Excerpt from Senior Post, 1935

Three hundred years ago the Boston -latin School, the first high school in the United States, was founded. This action was one of the important factors in the furthering of educa tion. After the Civil War, the high school sys tem was begun in this city, and now we have six fine high schools.

The Indianapolis high school was reorganized in 1867 through the efforts of Abraham C. Shortridge, the first superintendent. In 1897 the name was changed to Shortridge high school. The new school was located at Michigan and Pennsylvania streets. On this corner more buildings were added from time to time, and the school continued at this place until it was moved to its present location on Meridian street in 1929.

Manual Training high school was founded in 1893 through the influence of the German peo ple who lived on the south side. In 1894 it opened its doors with Charles E. Emerich as its first principal. Since that time the plant has been enlarged until it has reached its present state.
