In the mid 30's there was a visonary couple who saw the need for a new Jr.-Sr. High School in Southeast Washington, D.C. They began a letter writing campaign to Congress that, after much additional effort, produced Anacostia Jr.-Sr. High School and eventually, Kramer Jr. High School. The couple was William J. and Phyllis E. Plemmons. Recently, their daughter, Patricia (Plemmons) Lambert, AHS '61, sent us some pictures and copies of documents pertaining to the founding of AHS. Some documents are a little blurry but the pictures are good. Pat's brother Jack graduated from AHS in '39, her other brother Robert graduated from AHS in '44.

What comes to mind when you hear those words? Of course it's the huge Curtis Brothers chair that stood in Anacostia for many years. It was torn down some years ago but was replaced with a new one this year. To see the Washington Post article on the new chair CLICK HERE . Thanks to Carol (Harding) Chaney, AHS '59, for sending us the article. Mr. Charles Wendell Curtis, the man responsible for "The Chair", Passed away in March of 2007. See "Obituaries" section below. |
