Waynesboro Area Senior High School - Wayarian Yearbook (Waynesboro, PA)

THE NEW HIGH SCHOCDL After years of effort, Waynesboro is to be rewarded with a new high school, ready for use, according to architects estimates, in the fall of 1937. The project, costing s3oo,0o0, to be paid jointly by the community and the Federal government, was approved by the local voters on November 5, 1935. Pre-election interest ran high among the student body. A student drive to insure the success of the issue began with the making of posters which were used in the Mummer's Parade. With the cooperation of the students, flyers were made and placed in every house. They contained "Facts show- ing reasons for a new high school," some of which were: crowded high school, too heavy pupil-load per teacher, lack of storage space, inadequate lighting, unsanitary conditions, crowded auditorium, armed benches and folding chairs in classrooms, handicaps in science, economics, library, physical education, music, and art. One November 4, all the students in Waynesboro schools and the school band participated in a Booster Parade which created much interest and enthusiasm for a new school. A large float depicted the offer of the Federal government to aid in financing the building. Characters on the float were: Uncle Sam, George Hess, Miss W. H. S., Caroline Latshawg Flagbearers, Richard Welsh and John Reddigg Attendants, Mary Weagley, Lucille Margin, Betty Thompson, john Grumbine, and Frank Zumbro. On November 5, election day, 'about thirty seniors were sent to the polls, to give information to voters relative to school needs. ' X .
