School Histor: Webster Groves High School began as a general course offered to
ninth graders in 1889. At the turn of the century, the school occupied the first floor of the
original Bristol School building; the elementary school took up thesecond floor. As enrollment increased, the high school used hallwaysand storerooms as supplementary classrooms.
In 1906, the district built a high school on Selma Avenue, a two-storybrick building with three classrooms and an auditorium. Front wingswere added in 1913.
The Webster Groves Armory, constructed in 1917, was turned over to the high school following World War I and housed the lunch roomand senior gymnasium.

In 1934, portions of the building built in 1906 and 1913 were razed. A large addition, including the Little Theater and additional classrooms,was completed in 1935.
The district built Roberts Gym, named after coach and teacher Charles A. Roberts, in 1946.
The high school has received a Silver Award for its use of Positive
Behavioral Interventions and Support.In 2012, a 106,350-square-foot addition at the north end of the high

rent space in three other buildings in town, includ-ing the Congregational Church. The school wasnamed for Dr. Bennet J. Bristol in 1916, a physicianand long-time member of the Board of Education.
Wings for the original frame building on Gray Avenue were built in 1909 and 1913.
In 1920, the district moved the frame buildingtoward the rear of the school grounds and beganconstructing the central part of the building, con-necting the wings. A new multipurpose room was
added in 2008 and the old gymnasium was reno-vated for a new library, office and classroomspace.
Bristol Elementary is noted for its strong staff and programs (both curricular and extra-curricu-lar), its high level of family involvement, and anurturing school environment that celebrates theuniqueness of each child. Bristol’s 2012 PBIS(Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support)Program was awarded the Bronze Award for Excellence. The Bristol community is dedicated tocelebrating children and providing a foundationfor life-long learning.

th nw madd Ss Z ds 120 ls shwad from the area of Charleston, Missouri, and Cairo, Illinois, through NewMadrid and Caruthersville, following Interstate 55 to Blytheville andon down to Marked Tree, Arkansas. The NMSZ consists of a series of large, ancient faults that are buried beneath thick, soft sediments.These faults cross five state lines and cross the Mississippi River in three
places and the Ohio River in two places.th nw madd Ss Z ad sdg g s
av, avagg ha 200 asd vs p a (Magnitude 1.0 or greater), about 20 per month. Tremors largeenough to be felt (Magnitude 2.5 – 3.0) are noted every year. Thefault releases a shock of 4.0 or more, capable of local minor damage,about every 18 months. Magnitudes of 5.0 or greater occur aboutonce per decade. They can cause significant damage and be felt inseveral states.
th hghs ahqa s h ud Sas outside the West Coast is in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Damaging tremblorsare not as frequent as in California, but when they do occur, thedestruction covers over more than 20 times the area due to the natureof geologic materials in the region. The 1968 5.5 magnitude Dale,
Illinois earthquake toppled chimneys and caused damage to unrein-forced masonry in the St. Louis area, more than 100 miles from theepicenter. A 5.2 magnitude earthquake in April 2008 in southeastIllinois, did not cause damage in Missouri, but was felt across much of the state.
A daagg ahqa hs aa, which experts say is abouta 6.0 magnitude event, occurs about once every 80 years (the last onein 1895 was centered near Charleston, Missouri). There is estimatedto be a 25-40% chance for a magnitude 6.0–7.5 or greater earth-quake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone in a 50-year periodaccording to the U.S. Geological Survey reports. The results would beserious damage to un-reinforced masonry buildings and other struc-tures from Memphis to St. Louis. We are certainly overdue for this typeof earthquake!
A aj ahqa hs aa - h ga nw madd ah-qa f 1811-12 was actually a series of over 2000 shocks in fivemonths, with several quakes believed to be a 7.0 Magnitude or higher. Eighteen of these rang church bells on the Eastern seaboard.The very land itself was destroyed in the Missouri Bootheel, making itunfit even for farming for many years. It was the largest release of seismic energy east of the Rocky Mountains in the history of the U.S.and was several times larger than the San Francisco quake of 1906.
Wh wll ah ga ahqa h sz f hs 1811-12 happ? Several lines of research suggest that the catastrophicupheavals like those in 1811-12 visit the New Madrid region every500-600 years. Hence, emergency planners, engineers, and seismolo-gists do not expect a repeat of the intensity of the 1811-12 series for at least 100 years or more. However, even though the chance is
remote, experts estimate the chances for a repeat earthquake of simi-lar magnitude to the 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes over a50-year period to be a 7-10% probability.
Wha a w d p slvs? Education, planning,proper building construction, and preparedness are proven means tominimize earthquake losses, deaths, and injuries.
Prepare a Home Earthqake Plan- Choose a safe place in every room--under a sturdy table or
desk or against an inside wall where nothing can fall on you.- Practice DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON at least twice a year.
Drop under a sturdy desk or table, hold onto the desk or tablewith one hand, and protect the back of the head with theother hand. If there’s no table or desk nearby, kneel on thefloor against an interior wall away from windows, bookcases,
or tall furniture that could fall on you and protect the back of your head with one hand and your face with the other arm.
- Choose an out-of-town family contact.- Take a first aid class from your local Red Cross chapter.
Keep your training current.- Get training in how to use a fire extinguisher from your local
fire department.- Inform babysitters and caregivers of your plan.
Eliminate Hazards - Consult a professional to find out additional ways you can
protect your home, such as bolting the house to its foundationand other structural mitigation techniques.
- Bolt bookcases, china cabinets and other tall furniture towall studs.
- Install strong latches on cupboards.- Strap the water heater to wall studs.Prepare a Disaster Spplies Kit for Home and Car - First aid kit and essential medications.- Canned food and can opener.- At least three gallons of water per person.
- Protective clothing, rainwear, and bedding or sleeping bags.- Battery-powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries.- Special items for infant, elderly, or disabled family members.- Written instructions for how to turn off gas, electricity, and
water if authorities advise you to do so. (Remember, you’llneed a professional to turn natural gas service back on.)
- Keeping essentials, such as a flashlight and sturdy shoes, by your bedside.
Know What to Do When the Shaking BEGINS - DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON! Move only a few steps to a
nearby safe place. Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you’re sure it’s safe to exit. Stay away from windows.
- In a high-rise building, expect the fire alarms and sprinklers togo off during a quake.
- If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your headwith a pillow.- If you are outdoors, find a clear spot away from buildings,
trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground.- If you are in a car, slow down and drive to a clear place (as
described above). Stay in the car until the shaking stops.Know What to Do AFTER the Shaking Stops - Check yourself for injuries. Protect yourself from further dange
by putting on long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy shoes,and work gloves.
- Check others for injuries. Give first aid for serious injuries.- Look for and extinguish small fires. Eliminate fire hazards. Turn
off the gas if you smell gas or think it’s leaking. (Remember,only a professional should turn it back on.)
- Listen to the radio for instructions- Expect aftershocks. Each time you feel one, DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON!
- Inspect your home for damage. Get everyone out if your homeis unsafe.
- Use the telephone only to report life-threatening emergencies.
