| 10 | Contents Page | |||
| 12 | 1869 | Richmond School System Founded | ||
| 12 | 1870 | . . . Advanced Grammar Grade was established, which was really the high school in embryo. | ||
| 12 | 1871 | . . . confronted by an urgent need for teachers, the board requested funds for a normal and high school. Accordingly, the Richmond High School was established in rented rooms on Broad Street between Ninth and Tenth Streets. The principal, William F. Fox, and two teachers composed the faculty, and there were forty-nine pupils. The course of study, which covered three years, was the same for all students. | ||
| 13 | 1873 | 1 Oct | First High School Building, 805 E. Marshall St. 3-story building w/ 8 class rooms; 3rd floor was assembly hall. Building cost "40, 000, capacity 274 pupils. Faculty consisted of principal, 3 teachers & enrollment was 76. | |
| 13 | June | 1st class "regularly" graduated. 6 boys & 8 girls. | ||
| 13 | 1875 | Senior pupils were employed as substitute teachers in the city schools. | ||
| 13 | 1st High School | 1881 | Enrollment outgrew capacity of the building. Structure enlarged by adding 8 rooms & a basement. Popularity of school increased & rooms were added several times afterwards to "take care of growing enrollment". | |
| 14 | 1882 | Faculty = 12 & enrollment = 393. | ||
| 14 | 1884 | A desire for a higher standard was manifested in 1884 by the substitution of fifty per enter instead of forty-five per cent as the minimum for promotion, and in 1888 this was raised to sixty per cent. | ||
| 14 | 1888 | Minimum for promotion raised to 60 per cent | ||
| 15 | 1883 | ca | A year after becoming principal, Mr. Bowles resigned to accept a position in a larger institution, and Julian P. Thomas was elected principal. | |
| 15 | 1883 | ca | Further expansion of curriculum. Phonography & typewriting introduced. Shortly afterward, a 2 yr business course was established. "The superintendent recommended that, in addition to the college preparatory, business, and post graduate courses, a manual arts course for boys and girls be adopted. A full course at that time did not seem feasible, but a partial compliance with the recommendation was made by the establishment, in 1893, of a course in cooking." | |
| 15 | 1893 | Course in cooking established. Later discontinued due to lack of funds. | ||
| 16 | The John Marshall House and The Jefferson Club | 1894 | School overcrowded again & "the practice of renting outside rooms was begun. This continued until Juhe, 1909, when the school occupied every available corner in three buildings: the high school building, the John Marshall House, and the old Jefferson Club." | |
| 16 | 1903 | bef. | Before 1903, it became evident to the School Board that the building at 805 East Marshall was hopelessly beyond improvement and totally unfit for a 20th century school. | |
| 16 | 1904 | School Board obtained half of the lot on which the building "now stands". "Plans for the new school were submitted, but before any work was begun, the citizens headed by the School Board, the Richmond Education Association, and the daily press, so vigorously pressed the question of securing the whole block, bounded by Clay, Marshall, Eighth, and Ninth Streets, that in 1905 their efforts were crowned with success." | ||
| 17 | 1903 | Fall -- "Examinations were abolished for all except the graduating classes. The standard adopted for these classes was an average of 80% with a minimum of 70% on a subject." | ||
| 17 | 1906 | Spring -- "committee appointed by the board made a study of the standards of high schools throughout the State and reported the Richmond High School as among those requiring the highest standard." | ||
| 17 | 1905 | Only 2 courses in the school: regular 3 year course & 2 year business course. | ||
| 18 | 1908 | Spring | Ground broken for new building. | |
| 18 | John Marshall High School | 1909 | Fall | cornerstone for new building laid. |
| 18 | 1909 | Sept. | building not quite complete, but began being used. Before completion, name was changed to "John Marshall High School" | |
| 18 | 1911 | Feb. | . . . the plan of promoting students was put into effect. A pupil making 75% on a subject was advanced in that subject. The pupils became more interested in their work, and the good results of the plan were immediately evident. | |
| 18 | 1912 | Summer | . . . the vacation school was established so that pupils who so desired might have an opportunity to continue their work in the summer. | |
| 18 | 1911 | Fall | Teachers' Training Dept. moved from the high school to the William F. Fox School, and became the City Normal School. | |
| 19 | 1912 | Fall | Library established & trained Librarian appointed. System of supplying free text books introduced. Spanished added to program of studies. | |
| 19 | 1926 | In 1926 it came under the inspection of the Government, and has been rated first in its class (55C schools) by Federal Inspection in 1927, 1928, & 1929. | ||
| 20 | 1918 | In 1918, during the Great War, 22 male teachers were furloughed for military duty, & five hundred alumni of John Marshall were in the service. | ||
| 20 | 1918 | Fall | great influenza epidemic reached it's height." Richmond hospitals were overcrowded & more space was needed. | |
| 20 | 1918 | 4 Oct | School closed within 3 days, desks had been removed & beds & patients admitted to the high school building. School held about 1, 000 patients. It was used as a hospital for a month. | |
| 20 | 1918 | 7 Nov | Building reopened for school purposes. | |
| 20 | 1920 | Bronze tabled dedicated in memory of 16 alumni who "fell in the Great War". Tablet was gift from the Patriotic Society of the school." | ||
| 21 | 1921 | School was overcrowded again "and a two-session day was necessary. Pupils of the 3rd & 4th years attended from 8:20 a.m. until noon, and those of the 1st & 2nd years from 12:30 to 4:10." | ||
| 21 | Photo of George Wythe Jr. High School | 1922 | George Wythe Junior High School opened. Located across the street from the John Marshall High School. "Although originally intended as a junior high school, it was immediately made part of John Marshall because of the crowded condition of the latter school." | |
| 21 | 1928 | Sept. | Enrollment had increased "to such an extent that a double session was necessary in George Wythe building." | |
| 21 | 1929 | As the history of John Marshall High School is, after all, the history of secondary education in Richmond, it is with great pleasure that we learn that the construction of a splendid new high school in the West End is now in progress. The new school will be occupied in September, 1930. | ||

I didn't transcribe the clubs &/or paragraphs listed with each of the Seniors names, or the various poems, letters, etc. that are mentioned in the "Notes" column. The yearbook isn't for sale, but if you're interested in obtaining copies of any pages, contact me and include [1929 Marshallite] in the subject line.]
