~ The doors of the school were first opened in 1861 in a rented building at New York and David-, son Sts.

Only the first and second grades ‘were taught there until 1 growing demands for space caused the School Board to purchase a site for a regular school building in 1863 at Vermont and Davidson Sts. - Ae ERECTION of the new threestory brick building was completed four- years later. - It contained eight classrooms staffed by seven teachers. —8ix-rooms were added in 1899 to care for the steadily increasing number of school age children. Still later, in 1912-13 portable buildings were placed on elf grounds to hold the averfiow #19 from regular class rooms. In the same years, a two-story home on Fulton St. and one on’ Davidson St. were acquired by the School Board and home economics and shop classes were started in them.

» ” . CONSOLIDATION of the classes, which were becoming scattered, came to No. 9 in 192627 with the construction of a fireproof building containing 15 classrooms, It also had shop and home economics spaces and an auditorium, The auditorium was later named Kate Mason Hall in honor of Kate Mason, principal of the school from 1921 to 1929. School No. 9 received its official designation in April, 1911, Its namesake, Clemens Vonnegut, came here in 1851 from Ger-

§imany and for 28 years he served

as a member of the School Board. He was 82 when he died in 1906. LJ » ” THE SCHOOL has always been proud of its own newspaper.
