Description: Oakland, CA: The Flame Staff, 1911. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Softcover. B&W Illustrations; This book is in Very Good condition and includes the glassine dust jacket in Very Good- condition. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. There is some beginning bumping to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. This copy has three holes punched through the entire book (for ribbon binding, I assume) even though it has a glued spine and staples. There is some metal degradation to the staples. The glassine dust jacket has some light edge wear, nicking and several small edge chips missing, along with some noticeable spots of foxing and ground-in dirt. Included is a biography of Joaquin Miller with some background on his home, The Heights. "Under the guidance of Frank Stuart Rosseter, aided by the faculty of five, including Miss McMillan and Mrs. Lawson, upon the third floor of the Melrose Grammar School, in August, 1905, Union High School No. 4 came into existence. The first student body was composed of one hundred and thrirty pupils, and the first graduating class consisted of three seniors. That marked the beginning of Fremont High School. In 1906, due to the influx of students from the devastated area caused by the San Francisco fire and earthquake, the school moved to the present location on Foothill Boulevard, and was dedicated to, and named after, John C. Fremont. In 1913 part of the athletic field was added and a gymnasium was erected. At the same time, two wings were built onto the main building. In 1915 the annex was added and finally, in 1925, the athletic grounds were enlarged and improved, and bleachers were placed along the High Street boundary. In the original school, games were played in the furnace room underneath the auditorium, and the student body dances took place in the halls. The two bungalows in front of the school dated from this period, being the first of many additions. Principal Frank S. Rossetter passed away in 1915 after ten years of inspired leadership. He was succeded by Mr. Cox, who in 1917, was replaced by H. D. Brasefield, who had served as vice-principal to both of his predecessors. " (from the school history).
