The New High School Building For a long time the students of Jackson High School have been looking forward to the time when they might enjoy the facilities of a modem school building. Jackson High had grown in its enrollment from year to year and the curriculum had expanded to the point where the all too meager facilities were taxed to the limit. Some of the classes were required to meet in small portable classrooms, others in the old Central Building. But within the next year or two, the high school will move into a commodious new building made possible by the voters of Jackson who authorized a $250,000 bond issue at the election in November, 1027. This bond issue was approved by a small margin after an intensive campaign to acquaint the voters of Jackson with the needs of the schools. This was the largest bond issue ever asked in this city and the task of securing its adoption was not a small one by any means. A citizen’s committee with Harold K. Schellenger ’20 as chairman was named to conduct the campaign. The board of education devoted itself whole-heartedly to the work. One member especially, Charles H. Jones ’02, gave almost his full time to the compaign, and made speech after speech in favor of the bond issue. The women’s clubs of Jackson, the various fraternal orders, the ministers, and other groups and individuals worked unselfishly for the cause of better schools. The students also had their part in the campaign, distributing literature, doing personal work at home, staging a big parade, and otherwise aiding in every way possible. At the present time, the site of the new building and the various architectural features have not yet been determined, but the board of education is working on these matters to the end that actual construction may be started just as soon as possible. The board members are determined, however, to give Jackson ju-t as good a building as possible for the money to be expended. They are studying other mod rn school buildings in various cities, in order that Jackson may have the very best.
