Dedication On the eve of Wednesday, December 10, 1930, our new Fairmont High School first threw open its doors to the public. Many who had been anxiously waiting to see our new building were amply rewarded by its beauty. The halls were decorated with palms, the offices and classrooms with beautiful flowers, and specimens of students' class work transformed many empty wall spaces. In the various departments, displays were given by the pupils themselves. The English classes showed pictures of the countries whose authors they had been studying, and a very interesting explanation was given with each. Various members of the typing classes gave a rhythm drill which attracted much attention and gave the visitors an idea of the importance of rhythm in typewriting. In the banking room the history of the Fairmont commercial department was run off the rotospeed and handed to the visif tors. Many interesting experiments were worked out in the Chemistry and Biology departments. In other rooms, students pointed out the attractive features to the visitors. That evening marked the laying of the first milestone, the dedication of our new high school.
