Description
Abstract: This artifically assembled collection documents Hume-Fogg High School and its students, faculty, and alumni, and to some degree, the Nashville public school system, generally, throughout most of the twentieth century, with small portions from the late 1890s and first decade of the 21st century. The bulk of the material spans from 1900 to 1947. Formats include graduation programs and invitations, news clippings, publications, class and candid photographs, student as well as faculty scrapbooks (including a few from faculty retreats in the 1940s), course schedules, student handbooks and school administrative materials, alumni reunion materials and reminiscences, a War Production Training manual used during World War II, and a wide variety of other items. Students who went on to gain some fame as adults include: Fanny Rose Shore (Dinah Shore); Randall Jarrell; Delbert Mann; and Bettie (Betty) Page. There is also a small group of materials from the 1930s and 1940s from Community Playhouse, whose performances often included Hume-Fogg High School students in the cast. Fuller details about the collection, including scope and content descriptions for each series in the collection, can be found in the finding aid.

Biographical or Historical Data
The site of present-day (2011) Hume-Fogg High School was occupied by Nashville's first public school, the Hume School, opening on February 26, 1855. The school was named for Alfred Hume, a prominent local educator who worked to organize Nashville's first public school system. In 1875 a separate building was erected on the property, Fogg School, named for Francis B. Fogg, then president of the board of education. Classes during 1910 to 1912 were held at Murphy Grammar School while the current building was under construction. In 1912, the new Hume-Fogg High School building opened, replacing both the Hume and Fogg buildings, which had been razed. From its beginning, Hume-Fogg followed the classic school curriculum with Latin, English, science, and mathematics. In 1919, it was the first school in Tennessee to be accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The school taught ninth through twelfth grades until 1924 when ninth-graders began attending local junior high schools. In the fall of 1940, the school included technical and vocational classes and became Hume-Fogg Technical and Vocational High School and later Hume-Fogg Comprehensive High School. During World War II, industrial training programs for adults were held at the school. Beginning in 1983, Hume-Fogg became an academic magnet school, using an intensive college preparatory curriculum, and its name was changed to Hume-Fogg Academic High School. In 1974, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Principals for the school have included: C.T. Kirkpatrick (1914-1940); J. Howard Cochran (1942-1966); A. D. Hancock (1967-1977); John D. Roper (1978-1980); and others.

Ownership and Custodial History
The bulk of the collection was given to the Nashville Public Library around 1990 from Hume Fogg High School, most likely at a time when it was determined to do away with keeping their own archives at the school. Additional materials from the school were received by the library around 1997. Some items were donated to the Nashville Public Library from various individuals through the years; most of these items were originally housed in the Schools Ephemera Subject Files. However, in 2011 during the processing of the materials donated from the school, it was determined to remove all Hume-Fogg materials from the Ephemera Subject Files and incorporate them into this collection.
Action
Process;,2011-2012;,Rose Mary Reed (volunteer) and Linda Barnickel (staff);,some Hume-Fogg materials removed from Schools Ephemera Subject Files and incorporated into this collection.
