Hibbing High School was constructed by the Oliver Mining Company in 1920[1]. It cost a total of 4 million dollars[2]. Today it would cost 50 million to replace and is nearly impossible to build today[3]. The auditorium is a replica of Capitol Theater in New York[4].
The auditorium has chandeliers imported from Belgium and seats 1,800[5]. The original football field next to the school was easy to get to. Everything went on there, gym classes, track, and, football[6]. Not many people drove to school[7]. Everyone took buses; no one had their own cars to drive[8]. There were sports for boys, such as football, track, and basketball[9]. There were no sports programs for girls, only gym class sports[10].
