l :Q E- 5'uuLs!. What the New l-ligh School Will Mean to Lock Haven The new Senior High School now in process of construction will mean much to the future citizens of Lock Haven. ln the first place, it will provide adequate room for taking care of the various de- partments of the high school, which in recent years have expanded beyond the expectations of those who built the present building in 1914. No school can do its proper work unless its classes are of a reasonable size, so that teachers can give the neces- sary personal attention to all the pupils. Over-large high schools necessarily become a handicap to the best type of education, and by over-crowding classes deny the pupils the right to secure the highest type of training. Our new senior high school will solve this problem for the city of Lock Haven, as well as for pupils from nearby school districts who must come here to complete a four-year high school course. ln the second place, the new senior high school building will provide proper facilities for the in- dustrial department of the high school. Since 1921 this department has grown from a one-year course in manual training to a complete four-year course in vocational education, under the Smith-Hughes Act, recognized by both the state and' federal govern- ments. From a small class of sixteen pupils in 1921 the Vocational School has grown to eighty-six pupils during the present school year, and this growth has occured in spite of the unfavorable conditions con- fronting the school in its present frame structure. The new building will give this department all the necessary room for conducting trade courses in cabi- net making, auto mechanics, electrical work, print- ing, etc. It will also provide a large room for manual training for the general academic student who desires this work for its practical value. Since Vocational education has found so large a place in the work of the local school system, it became ab- solutely necessary to make adequate provisions for it, and this will be well accomplished in the new Senior High School. The growth of other departments, including the commercial group, the home economics division, and the various science classes, made the new Senior High School building a necessity. Aside from the Vocational department, probably no branch of high school work has met with more favorable reception by the public than has the work in cooking and sewing. lt now requires two teachers to give the necessary instruction in these practical subjectsg and the present building does not provide the neces- sary room. One sewing room is now located in the Roosevelt School on West Main Street, and the cooking laboratory is too small to accommodate the classes that get their instruction there. lt is over- crowded with equipment, and the work is handi- capped by the fact that it must be used as a cook- ing room for the cafeteria. The plans of the new Senior High School provide adequate room and equipment for this important department. Finally, the new Senior High School building will meet the growing needs of the school for a larger gymnasium, shower baths, and dressing rooms. The gymnasium will afford seating capacity for six hundred spectators, and will be located so as to overcome the faulty ventilation in the present gym.
