In June of 1929 Robert F. Bown, the principle of Stewart Jr. High, declared his school's baseball team "the best athletic team ever produced at the south side intermediate." It is easy to understand the pride he held for his team. Not only had Stewart won the city crown with a 5-0 record, they had also defeated Fife Junior High, Clover Park Junior High and Stadium High School. The Stewart team captured their title with a resounding defeat of rival Gray, 21-1. Posed in front of the school on June 7, 1929, as listed in the News Tribune are: third row (rear), coaches H.A. Post, W.C. Cohoon and S.S. Todd, physical director; second row, Howard Berry, Ernest Holm, Clarence Zachow, Clyde Olsen, Verne Kampbell and Arnold Doersam; first row, Howard Converse, Louis Mazza, Charles Mazza, (Capt.)

Construction continues on the James P. Stewart Intermediate School, 5010 Pacific Avenue, in May of 1925. Scaffolding surrounds the multi-storied structure which cost over $400,000. Tacoma's school population had been increasing and six intermediate schools were planned to alleviate overcrowding. Stewart Intermediate was the second to be completed, after Jason Lee. The school, designed by architect Roland Borhek and built by John Biehn & Co., contractors, was originally called the South Central Intermediate School. By the time the school was opened in September of 1928, the name had been changed to honor Tacoma's first school teacher, James P. Stewart. The school is still being used today with a slight name change to the James P. Stewart Middle School. G47.1-082; BU-11,440 (TNT 5-16-25, p. 20)
