Seven unidentified boys who attended the "Charles Wright School" at Annie Wright Seminary were photographed in December of 1950 while enjoying a snack of milk and animal crackers in their classroom. The Charles Wright School was added as an annex to Annie Wright in 1950 after the big earthquake of 1949 damaged Lowell School so badly it had to be torn down. A group of parents with daughters at Annie Wright asked Ruth Jenkins, the school's headmistress, to accept their sons. She agreed when those parents built an annex that could be converted later into a garage; they called the school Charles Wright. The new school offered classes for K, 1 and 2, but Annie Wright's long-standing policy of not accepting boys made an extension of education there impossible. A group of parents joined together and helped create the Charles Wright Academy, which opened in 1957 on a 127-acre site located between University Place and Lakewood.
