VIII! Win a Valley Junction High School O the taxpayers is due a thousand thanks for the magnificent building they have built to educate the young men and women of this com- munity. The building was built in 1917 and is one of the best equipped buildings in the state, for its size. XX'e have a modernly equipped man- ual training room, a mechanical drawing department, a commercial department, a laboratory and a large gymnasium, hot and cold showers in both dressing rooms, and a fine stage with an elaborate display of scenery. l'he building is the community gathering place of all the people of this sur- rounding territory. lt has been large enough for the student body so far, but with the rapid growth of the town, it may be necessarv for us to enlarge it in a few years, as it is fast filling up. The student body has increased two-fold in the last year and we look for it to increase a great deal more in that length of time. 'l'o go to school in a building like this is a real pleasure as we have things necessary to make it pleasant. This year was added the music department and in a year we ought to have some real talent displayed. Three years ago we had one pianog now we have three and a victrola. XYe now need, most of anything, a considerable addition to our library, and we are hoping that some kind-hearted person will see fit to provide for our needs along that line. We feel confident, however, that this will be forthcoming for if we can read the indications aright, when we consider our fine building and its modern equipment, all of the signs spell P- R-O-G-R-li S- S.
