Clinton ’10 ©ur J igl) School We moved into our new High School building, February 12, 1909. It was built at a cost of about $50,000, and is a credit and an ornament to our city. There are twenty-five rooms in it. Besides the recitation rooms there are chemical and physical laboratories, and special sections for Manual Training and Domestic Science. Since we began using our new laboratories, additional apparatus has been added as it was needed. Now we have much better facilities for obtaining comprehensive ideas of experiments. Our Faculty is now much larger than formerly, and now consists of eleven members, each of whom is a proficient instructor in his branch. We have received recognition by the U. of 1. authorities, as we are now on their accredited list. The latest subjects which we have added to our list of credits, are Chemistry and German. With these advantages, the C. H. S. certainly has a bright future before it. This is shown by the many additional students that enroll each year. The number of students from the country that come here has increased greatly. High Schools are recording great triumphs now, and the Clinton High School, which the people of Clinton have provided, is certainly doing its share toward advancing the cause of education. It is with the greatest hope for its future that we, the class of Nineteen Ten, leave. 9
