I don't have all of your answers, but Stivers opened in 1908, became a "manual training" school in 1914. It was the overcrowding of Steele High School that caused Stivers to open as the second high school in the Dayton area.

Am searching for Steele High Spotlight yearbooks for the years 1937-1940 for my mother (Babette Shapero, '40). 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.

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.

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! :)

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.

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?

If i'm reading it right, it looks like the Dayton library has the 1924 Steele yearbook.... Who's picture are you looking for?

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.

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.

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

Had a teacher at Stivers who was a famous prep football player for the Tigers in say, the '30s. His name was Marty Armbruster. Stivers was a great school, my fave.

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.

Learned something new today. Had often wondered how my mother had lifelong friends from Steele but she graduated from Stivers. They all must have at one time gone to Steele then bounderies established which split them up.Would also like to mention that Stivers has a great reputation for their academics and have tried to get my granddaughter to live with me as she would fit right in as her interests lie in writing music and singing.

historybuff. Dad graduated in 1930. I was looking at a box of his and found many, many pictures of Dayton. My Mothers family were Polish and lived in North Dayton. My Grandparents owned The Bridge View Bar and then their land was purchased for I-75 in the early 60's

Paula, my mother-in-law(deceased), graduated from Steele High School in 1940. Her family pretty much lived in the East vicinity around Xenia Avenue and St. Joseph. They owned bars and I believe at one time a bakery, not sure of the name. They attended St. Marys church. She left a suitcase full of pictures around the early 1900’s. I must take time to go through them to see if there are pictures of that area.

Go to the Stivers alumni room on the 4th floor of SHS
There you will find a large amount of Memobilia and I'm sure you will find yearbooks

I had a great grandmother who graduated from Steele in either 1908 or 1909. I have a program from one of her class reunions, but I can't remember the vintage. It's no newer than the 1950s, though. She died in 1972.
