School Spirit

Each class has a different color to demonstrate their spirit. Class of '12: Green Class of '11: Yellow Class of '10: Blue Class od '09: Red

The freshman are always green; the new sophomores always inherit the previous senior class's color. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.79.147.101 (talk) 20:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

"International District"

@ToconnorHolyNames: It is utterly anachronistic to say that the Holy Names Academy was once in the International District, as against being in the area later known as the International District. There was no such thing as the International District when Holy Names was there: it was on the now-destroyed Jackson Hill. To say that Holy Names Academy was in the International District is like saying that Columbus may have been to Havana. - Jmabel | Talk 23:58, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

• If anyone needs context: that is with respect to this edit. - Jmabel | Talk 00:00, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Jmabel, can you write any sort of sourced history for this school? You may have noticed I just tagged the history as unsourced as an initial step in cleaning up the massively advitorial content of this article. Almost anything would be an improvement. I can take care of the current stuff, but am not really able to find time to research history. A source for the claim of oldest in the lede would be a great start. Thanks.

  • I've posted a request for help at WP:WikiProject Seattle. John from Idegon (talk) 06:08, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
    • John from Idegon, I've re-written somewhat and expanded the history section and referenced the article. There's actually quite a lot of material available about it. Jmabel, I totally agree with you about the goofy anachronism and have restored your wording. Hopefully, it will stay that way. Voceditenore (talk) 15:38, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
    • (via edit conflict) @John from Idegon: Oldest is doubtless correct. I just ran across this article because we recently had this photo added to Commons. I know the history to a moderate extent, but I don't have sources handy (they won't be online, there is nothing) and am about to be headed out of town for a while. I can probably work on some research starting a week or now. On this particular item, it's going to be hard to come up with something citable, because my knowledge here is a matter of synthesis, from reading a lot of history: "International District" is a modern term. Offhand, I don't think it predates the 1960s: from shortly after the regrade (c. 1908) to the 1960s, this was "Chinatown" (with Japantown to its north and curving around to its east into what is now "Little Saigon", a name of even more recent vintage). Given time, I should be easily able to find citation from the era calling this "Jackson Hill", but it's hard to prove the absence of the use of "International District". - Jmabel | Talk 15:40, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
    • @Voceditenore: Thanks. - Jmabel | Talk 15:42, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
    • It sounds like this is moving toward consensus. If there is something specifically needed from me, please ping me and let me know. I'm mainly on Commons, and don't maintain an en-wiki watchlist. - Jmabel | Talk 15:42, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
      • Okey-Dokey. I've also put the {{Connected contributor}} template at the top of the page which might help. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 15:48, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
      • I'm pretty much finished here. I can't stand doing current stuff. I'll leave that to John from Idegon. Oh, and John, I've also referenced the "oldest" claim. Voceditenore (talk) 15:54, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
