l ll Editorial HIRTEEN years ago our high school was inits infancy. There was a. struggle for existence and sound foundations were gradually built in all lines of school activity. Soon after this high school passed into the childhood stage. This was the age of development and advancement. The school became recognized throughout the state and was placed on the list of accredited schools. The adult period was reached through further development and improvement. A new shop building with modern machinery put us on a competitive basis with other schools in the mechanical line. Entrance in the California Interscholastic Federation placed us on a par in athletic rivalry. This athletic connection pro' duced results and athletic fields were conquered. Now it remains for the students of the S1 C. U. H. S. to uphold these enviable records. Untiring persistency should be stressed on the part of our students in college. Our accredited record can be maintained by our student representatives in the colleges. Can our athletic record be upheld without a gym? We do not think it can. No school can be called modern without adequate gymnasium equipment. It is a vital necessity. As many as three girls have to share a locker in our small locker room. This condition could be relieved with a gym. The state requires physical education, but how can this be given without a gym? Long rainy periods during the winter prevent outdoor exercise. Basketball, the reigning winter sport cannot be given the necessary attention. Basketball is popular, not only in this vicinity, but throughout the nation. This year it was necessary to go to Ione to practice basketball, a distance of twelve, miles. The school paid out hundreds of .dollars to outside gyms. Money spent outside the community could be spent here, thus aiding our business men. Basket' ball pays not only for itself, but also for the other sports. An auditorium could be used for entertaining purposes, thus aiding the school in the financial end. The structure would be in constant use as the girls could use the building for physical education during the autumn and spring. The community organizations could use the auditorium for civic entertainment. Will our community respond? We hope it will. With these cold facts in mind our patrons and admirers should wake to this safe and sound investment. There never was a more suitable time for a gym than now. Why be backward? We have students coming from all outlying districts so this insures a high enrollment for the future. Our enrollment is steadily increasing. We do not propose to construct a high priced gym and we would not over- burden our taxpayers. A slight increase over last year's taxes would aid greatly. As tomorrow never comes there should be no delay. Neighboring schools of our size have gyms. For example, Galt, San Juan, Placerville, have theirs built while Elk Grove and Courtland intend to start build- ing their structures soon. Will our community answer the call? --The Editor. F irc
