The building as it now stands has special rooms for all regular subjects — history, English, math, chemistry, physics, etc., and temporary rooms for vocational subjects (temporary though they may be, they are better than many permanent ones). The first students to enter these portals of the present building in the pursuit of knowledge were thrilled by the increased space and the opportuni- ties for intellectual advancement. Needless to say, the quiet dignity imparted by the building has kin- dled many hearts to attain greater achievements and higher ideals. The Class of ' 21, the first class to graduate from this building, had 36 members. Since then a total of 1369 students have graduated here. Page 9

The present Auburn High School building had its beginninq in 1916 when Mr. Mcintosh gave the city a $10,000 site for its construction. Although work began immediately, A. H. S. was not complet- ed until 1921 because World War I for two years made it impossible to get the needed materials and workers. The Mcintosh High School still is not complete. The original plans provide for an east wing. In this section will be fully equipped rooms for all voca- tional subjects — band, bookkeeping, typing, agri- culture, manual training, etc. Postwar plans of A. H. S. include the building of this last portion of the school. Page 8

An aerial view shows A. H. S. in the midst oi its community surroundings. If we look at this picture and let our imaginations travel a little, some very interesting thoughts will come to mind. We actually see the students come forth from every nook and cranny of the community, from all walks of life, to band together in one com- mon purpose — education. We know that the school is kept running properly by taxes which the people of Auburn pay. Therefore it is a co- operative affair. If, in our mind ' s eye, we can put countries in place of students and families in Auburn, and put in place of the school a world court or some world institution to work for the common good of the peoples of the world, then we have inter- nationalism. Can this be done? Once the people were very skeptical about such a complex in- stitution as a public school system. Look at it now. Can it be done again? At least we realize that A. H. S has become a great influence in Auburn by molding its fu- ture citizens; and the people of this community look upon it with pride and favor. Page 10
