Description
Group photo of girls standing outside the school building. The Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Elementary School was opened in 1912. Between three and four hundred children in grades Kindergarten through Eighth grade attended the plain square building, situated on a broken, ungraded tract of land, the first year. By 1920 there were 655 pupils and crowded conditions. In 1922 the seventh and eight grades were removed, and in 1925 the east and west wings were added to the original center building.
