Park High School, early photo. Opened in 1928, replacing the old Racine High School. It was built larger than Horlick, which opened in the same year, to accommodate larger population growth on the South and West side of Racine at the time.
Much of the history and memorabilia from Racine High School were moved to Park. Joan of Arc (donated by the Racine HS Class of 1904), "The Beacon" school newspaper, and the yearbook, "Kipikawi" (Native American name for the Root River) all transfered to Park from Racine HS, the first public school in Wisconsin, 1852. The "Panther" mascot was named by the class of 1949 after an American Indian mound that was thought to be in the shape of a panther.

**********************
I just put in an article "Heroes & Refugees" which tells the story of some of our classmates and teachers during WW II. Also, I reactivated the 4 pages of "Looking Back" a snapshot of our time at Park 1957-1960.
