THE CROW CHURCHES USED BY THE H. S. FROM 1918-1921 On September 21, 1918, our high school building was destroyed by fire. The citizens of Beloit immedia.tely came to our aid and offered us their churches and other buildings that We might continue our school work with4 out interruption. During the year of 1918 and 1919 we used the M. E. church, Episcopalian parsonage, and the Ruffner Veterinary Hospital. The M. E. church was used as our main building, and there we held our assemblies and cl1a.pel exercises. The following year 1919-1920, the M. E. church, Christian Science church, and Episcopalian parsonage were used. The M. E. church was still used as the main buliding. O11 January 2, 1920, this building was destroyed by fire, and again we were without a home forpour school. However the mem- bers of the various churches once more came to our aid, and we were soon located in the Baptist, Christian and United Brethren churches in addition to the Christian Science church and Episcopalian parsonage. The United Brethren church was then used as the principal building. NVhen we entered school in the fall of 1920 our classes were held in the Presbyterian, Baptist and Christian Science churches, Court Room, and City Hall. During these three years the Principal's and Superintendent 's offices were located in the Freeman Rooming House. On the opposite page appears the picture of the Christian' Science church. The officers of this church were among the very first to proffer the use of their building. The offer was immediately accepted and the school moved in. The Cliristian Science church is the only one of the church buildings that has been constantly in use by the school since the old building was destroyed. The officers and members of this church have been very kind, patient and con- siderate of the wishes of the schools for the past three years and we wish to especially thank them for their hospitality and willingness to throw open their doors and make many sacrifices for our benefit. On April 4, 1920, we entered our new high school building, much to our delight. VVe wish to thank the citizens of this community for their loyal help and support during these past trying years. M. F. 1921
