It was the overcrowding of Steele High School that caused Stivers to open as the second high school in the Dayton area. Last Edited Guest on 9-Feb-2006 7:37 PM

It is published quarterly by the Alumni Association. It can be obtained by paying dues $15 a year/60 and older $7.50 a year. Send to Stivers Alumni Association P.O. Box 4527 Dayton, OH 45401-4527

I know Steele High published annuals, commencement and Xmas editions, I'm looking for the regular annual yearbooks and also the 1940 commencement edition. I think my Mom would get a big lift out of seeing any of these again. I'm at georgegoldhammer@yahoo.com. Thanx.

asf56 1 post Jan 27, 2007 8:00 AM	I have four Stivers HS publications from my father's estate: a 1926-28 Directory (small), a 1927 "Tiger"(8.5x11, paperback, 32 pages), a 1926 "Annual" or yearbook (8.5x11, Hardback, 198 pages), and a 1928 Senior Album (8.5x11, paperback, 39 pages). My father, George J. Frey, graduated from the Co-Op program in 1928. I would be happy to donate these publications to an archive should anyone be interested.
tiffrenee07 1 post Mar 24, 2007 4:29 PM	I go to Stivers, and I'm doing a research paper on Steele High School. I've found a nice amount of information on the school, but I haven't found anything about what company or person built it. If anyone knows, could someone please tell me???? I would greatly appreciate it so I can get a decent grade! :)
hump 1 post Jul 04, 2007 1:01 PM	My sister has a near mint condition copy of a 1917 Stivers yearbook she would like to donate to the archives of Stiver's alumni. Our uncle George Leffel graduated from Stivers in 1917, and this was his copy. Anyone connected with the Stiver's alumni association should relpy to me at hhump61@hotmail.com and I will pass along the information. I attended Stivers for 3 years, graduation would have been 1969 (when I "quit-u-a-ted") and obtained a GED, then a college degree as a "late bloomer". I had a wonderful time while at Stivers. My favorite teacher was Mr. Jones, who was the music teacher then. I now live in Las Vegas and my sister will be moving here from Dayton sometime in the fall of 2007. My sister graduated from Stivers in 1965, and her 2 daughters attended Stivers also. Last Edited on 4-Jul-2007 1:09 PM

Steve K 32 posts Sep 13, 2008 7:35 AM	Paul M... I'll ask my buddy in Florida, he graduated from Stivers in 1951... so 1954 might be too late for him, but he has some 50's stuff from Stiver's I think, it may just not be as late as 1954. I'll ask at the library, but they don't have tons of Stiver's stuff, although I think they do have the student newsletters/magazine from most of the 1950's, there's a chance it might have a roster from 1954?
deaditequeen80 1 post Nov 22, 2008 4:07 PM	I would like to know if any copies of Steele High Schools old yearbooks still exist? Specifically 1924. A picture of my grandfather would be cherished :)
Steve K 37 posts Nov 25, 2008 8:22 AM	deaditequeen80 If i'm reading it right, it looks like the Dayton library has the 1924 Steele yearbook.... Who's picture are you looking for?
Bob.Harr 1 post Dec 03, 2008 4:20 PM	Can someone provide a brief description or synopsis of what comprised the "manual training" program of study at Stivers High School beginning in 1914? Were there different programs? Program(s) intended primarily for one sex or another? I'd greatly appreciate any insight.
Steve K 38 posts Dec 04, 2008 9:26 AM	Bob.Harr.... I'm thinking I saw a photo once of a bunch of kids in ties and long-sleeved white shirts, working on a framework of two by fours in a big room.... some of them were building the frame, think some of them were wiring something. My general understanding is that is was geared toward males, and leaned toward the construction industries.
bowerpower 1 post Mar 05, 2010 10:15 PM	hello this is the 1st time I have ever posted to a site before so...here it goes. My dad went to Stivers High School in the late 50's. (Not sure exact year and can't ask since he has past)I do not have any pictures of him as a young man. All of his family members have past as well so I would love to find an old Stivers yearbook. Just to see an old picture of him. Greatful for any help
Steve K 173 posts Mar 08, 2010 8:07 PM	I've got a friend who graduated from Stiver's in 1951... probably unlikely that he'd know anybody who graduated in the late 1950's. The library has some early 1950 Stiver's yearbooks, not sure they have anything much past 1955 or so. Send me an email at wd8dcx@aol.com with your dad's name, and I'll poke around a little bit.
lookingformore 1 post Mar 16, 2010 4:28 PM	Hi, My mom passed away and I wondered if someone went to school there in 1952 who might remember her? Odd, as we thought she attended WIlbur Wright all 4 years but I found her name on a Stiver's program and she wrote JR Year :) That would make it 52. Would be Evelyn Gant or could be Evelyn McKinney as she married that year as well. Thanks

Jim McKamey 2 posts Jul 30, 2011 1:20 PM	I went to Stivers High School for 4 years, graduated in 1957. It was a great school, I have many wonderful memories. We were the city football champs. Our rival was Chaminade. I am Jim McKamey, would enjoy chatting with some of my old friends.
Epatgal2 1 post Sep 17, 2011 8:49 PM	Anthing known of the Art Teacher at Steele by the name of Annie Campbell who taught circa 1910 - 1924?
