The School Building Construction was started on the new Clay City Community High School building September 20, 1938. and was substantially completed by September 5, 1939. at a total cost of $210,000. Of this sum. $185,000 was the cost of the building and $25,000 was used for equipment. The new school building is strictly modern. It has its own sewage system. Every student has a separate locker. Heat and ventilation are thermostatically controlled. Lighting throughout the classrooms is Semi-direct. The study hall has indirect lighting. The windows in every room are equipped with metal Venetian blinds and movie projectors may be used in every room. Each room has a clock operated from the large electric clock in the office. The Public Address System permits communication between the office and any part of the school building. Radio programs or phonograph records may be transmitted to any room or group of rooms from the office. Each room has pictures and is light and cheerful. The American flag is displayed in every classroom as well as in the gym and the study hall. The building is a beautiful, impressive structure of tan brick, and is built entirely on the ground. It is unusual in its construction. No wood has been used except in the top gym floor, case work, doors, and trim. The rest of the building, including the roof, is of brick, steel, or concrete. The structure is fire proof and tornado resistant. It is safe and adequate and will be a civic center and pride of the community for generations to come. The school offers courses in Shop. Agriculture. Music. Home Economics. Commerce, and Physical Education, as well as all the basic college preparatory courses. Clay City Community High School is recognized by the State Department of Instruction and the University of Illinois. It is one of the finest of its size in the state. The citizens of Clay City and the School Board are to be congratulated for the civic-mindedness and progressive spiwi they displayed in erecting this beautiful school building. It is the wisest and most important step this community has taken in years. It is the medium through which the boys and girls of this community will be better fitted to lead successful lives and uphold the ideals of our nation. Much credit should also be given to our principal. Mr. J. H. Cherry, who took an active part in the construction of the high school. Much of the success of the project is due to his tireless and conscientious management of the numerous details'which are so important. We. speaking for the whole community, express our gratitude to him. The Ctaytoninn—Pny tiro
