The equipment of the school was as fine as could be put in a building of that size.

Including the principal, there were sixteen teachers, four of them being men.
In all the classes combined, there were some two hundred and forty students, about one hundred of these being girls.

Nearly all of the students were divided between the four regular classes.
There were always a few there taking a postgraduate, or fifth year of work, for either college or one of the technical schools.
With such a school and such a staff of teachers as it possessed the Gridley standard of scholarship was high.

The Gridley diploma was a good one to take to a college or to a "Tech" school.
Yet this fine high school stood well in the bodily branches of training.

Gridley's H.S.football eleven had played, in the past four years, forty-nine games with other high school teams, and had lost but two of these games.
