PROGRESS Expansion--new rooms, new gym, new stage, new activities. Atlanta Community High School has enjoyed a continuous expansion throughout the year of 1936-37. After months of planning and agitation, an agreement was finally reached, and in the spring, of '36 construction was begun. Those were unforgettable days. The school grounds began to buzz with noise and activity. At first surveyors and contractors then machinery an material arrived. Trees were felled and riant sera-) ers began taking out tone of earth. ’loise and dust became a monotonous accompaniment to classroom activity. As the weather become warmer, social seif, ncc classes became a torture because windov.s were closed end shades lowered to prevent outside disturbance. Therefore, it was with a feoling of relief that students and teachers closed their boohs for the summer vocation. When wo returned to school lust fall it was with a sense of expectancy. In the place where children had rl yed stood four brick walls and the framework of the roof. Everyone watched with intense interest as the work progressed rooidly. The stage w-s built, fl.-ors were laid, and fixtures were installed. At length the night was set for the dedication of the gymnasium, a few days later when the contractors r leased the building for use, students and teachers began.a tour of inspection of the now addition. The gymnasium is most modern in every n spool. The floor of hard made is finished in a .lirror-Hko gloss.

The bleachers stretch in shining lengths along the south walls to accommodate 350 spectators at athlo ic games and, with the adoit.ion of chairs, approximately 800 guests for plays and other entertainments. The co'rnmodius stage with its magnificent lighting system has added much to the oleasure of speech work and dramatics. One morning about the middle of October, classes were held for the first time in the '■ew classrooms. Latest methods of lighting and ventilating have been emol.ycd in both. The rooms each have large closets in which to stor books and papers. With the completion of the addition new classes were made possible. For the first time in several years regular physical education classes have been hold twice a week. Baseball, basket bull, volley ball, tapping and games were part of the program. a public speaking class was organized, and members were trained in oration, dramatic, humorous, and verse reading. Cn the evening of Nov tuber 6, the dedication exercises for our ni.w gym were held. After a most fitting rrogram the floor was initiated by a basket ball game with Latham. At last fond dreams are realized. For the first time in the history of tho town Atlanta has a high school gym. .She has truly taken a large step in the March of Progress and as a result has a building of which she can be justly proud for many years .
