	As the school offered high school subjects, a separate wood frame building was constructed south of the high school to house a gymnasium and a stage for theatrical productions and presentations. This building was heated with wood stoves which had to be avoided during games and practices. This was build some time between 1911 and 1915.

This building was heated with wood stoves which had to be avoided during games and practices. This was build some time between 1911 and 1915.

	There are several photographs of a stage and they all appear to be the same stage. There is a little confusion about the location of that stage. Some of these photographs are labeled as being on the second floor the Stevenson building. The school did use the I.O.O.F. hall for some functions such as Otto Mahrt's graduation ceremonies in 1912. The 1921 aerial photograph shows a north side extension to the gym which could house a stage. One of the photographs shows roof rafters slanting toward the stage which indicate it was the gymnasium and not the flat roofed Stevenson building.

	The location of this school house is hard to confirm. It is supposed to be "on the road to the cemetery." That would indicate the present day "Central Street." Most of the references are to homes of owners who have long ago passed. Some accounts have it on Broadway Ave, others seem to indicate that is is closer to the cemetery. One account says it is "across the gulch from the present school," which would place it south of Spokane Avenue.		The location of this school house is hard to confirm.
